Buccaneers
The final episode of “Hard Knocks” aired Tuesday night, which showed some of the Buccaneers’ final roster cuts.
The Buccaneers were hoping to sign WR Bobo Wilson and fifth-round RB Jeremy McNichols to their practice squad after clearing waivers, but Wilson decided to return home to Miami even though HC Dirk Koetter had asked him to stay around.
โAre you kidding me?โ Bucs GM Jason Licht said when he was informed that Wilson had left town, via Pro Football Talk.
Licht said that this โmight be the last strawโ before adding: โI want to make a rational decision here, and not a [knee-jerk decision].”
โIโm going to tell Bobo we want you on the practice squad; we want to work with you,โ Koetter said. โBut if you donโt change your attitude, you wonโt make it anywhere. Iโm going to tell him straight up: If he doesnโt change, he doesnโt have a chance. If he hesitates at all on coming back, then Iโm going to say weโll take [Donteea Dye].โ
As for McNichols, he told Koetter he wanted to be back with the team before deciding to join the 49ers’ practice squad.
โMcNichols got his feelings hurt,โ Licht said. โIf heโs going to mope and complain about being taken out of the game when he just made one mistake. I mean, we donโt want that kind of [expletive] anyway.โ
