ESTShareTweetShareShareReport: Buccaneers Offer Kwon Alexander Long-Term DealKim Klement-USA TODAY SportsA big development in the “will they or won’t they?” saga between the Buccaneers and Kwon Alexander came Tuesday morning from NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.Appearing on 95.3 WDAE in Tampa, Rapoport said the Bucs have offered Alexander a “fairly significant” long-term deal.Alexander has expressed a desire to stay with the Bucs, but has also said he will be testing free agency when it rolls around on March 13. The important thing to note with what Rapoport said is that the team doesn’t see the 24-year-old’s torn ACL as much of an issue. Considering the severity of such an injury, finding the right numbers and length for a contract could be tricky. However, it appears that won’t impact the way the Bucs approach a potential deal.In four seasons with Tampa Bay, Alexander has racked up 380 tackles (271 solo), 31 tackles for loss Jordan Whitehead Jersey White , 17 quarterback hits, seven sacks, 22 passes defended, six interceptions, six forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He was limited to six games in 2018 due to the torn ACL he suffered on Oct. 21 against Cleveland.Later on Tuesday, Alexander tweeted — from One Buc Place — what looked to be an encouraging update on his knee: Of course, now that Donovan Smith has been re-signed to a three-year deal Carlton Davis Jersey White , Tampa Bay could choose to use a franchise tag on Alexander. Such a move would give the Bucs a chance to work out their desired long-term contract while not letting him reach free agency at all. The franchise tag deadline is at 4 p.m. Tuesday. Bruce Arians makes good on a promise"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections 2016 NFL DraftInjuriesFree AgencyGame FilmToday's NFL NewsTampa Bay will have the largest coaching staff of any team next seasonNew,21commentsBruce Arians makes good on a promiseEDTShareTweetShareShareTampa Bay will have the largest coaching staff of any team next seasonKim Klement-USA TODAY SportsBack when Bruce Arians became the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he promised that he would assemble not only an all-star coaching staff, but a large staff that can help players learn in many different ways, especially the younger players. It seems that Arians has made good on that promise. Since Arians was hired, the Buccaneers have went on to hire 28 assistant coaches and Peter King, of Sports Illustrated Warren Sapp Jersey White , believes that it is the largest staff ever put together. Among the staff are 11 minority coaches, who hold the four highest ranking assistant positions as well as two female coaches. Arians has always said he likes diversity on his staff and he certainly brought that philosophy to Tampa Bay. As he mentioned in his introductory press conference, “You can’t find a diamond in the rough if they are standing on the sideline.” The big coaching staff will allow Arians to find as many diamond in the rough prospects as he can.
