NFC South Rumors: Buccaneers, Falcons, Panthers

Buccaneers

Buccaneers DE Jason Pierre-Paul says the team doesn’t have enough guys how “keep it real.

โ€œI think the differenceย between certain teamsย that reach the playoffs and [ones that donโ€™t] is when you have a certain group of guys that who just keep it real with each other,โ€ Pierre-Paul said, via theย Tampa Bay Times. โ€œYou just donโ€™t care [about other things]. You just play for each other. I think we have been playing for each other, but on the keeping it real point, I think weโ€™ve got a lot of guys who just donโ€™t keep it real, man.โ€

  • Buccaneers GM Jason Licht said when asked about DT Gerald McCoy‘s future in Tampa Bay: โ€œWe have a lot of tough decisions to make.โ€ (Rick Stroud)

Falcons

  • Vaughn McClure reports that the Falcons have parted ways with TEs coach Wade Harman.

Panthers

Panthers LB Thomas Davis reiterated that he’s hoping to remain in Carolina and finish out his career with the team.

โ€œThatโ€™s the one thing that I look at that, more so than anything,ย that would not allow me to go play for another team,โ€ Davis said Monday, via theย Charlotte Observer. โ€œItโ€™s the one thing that I look at and I focus in on that I would say I would never want to go play for another team. You know, you play somewhere your entire career โ€” thatโ€™s special. That means something to me, to be able to say I played all of my career for one team.โ€

Davis implied that he’s willing to accept a reduced salary to return to the Panthers.

โ€œHave you seen how much money I make?โ€ Panthers said. โ€œIโ€™ve already taken a pay cut. . . .

โ€œWhatever I need to do to make sure that we get it done and Iโ€™m still here. Itโ€™s a negotiation, so this will be something that will take place. Itโ€™ll happen and weโ€™ll see what happens coming from there.โ€
