NFL Notes: Buccaneers, Jaguars, Patriots, & Ravens

Buccaneers

Buccaneers rookie QB Jameis Winston has been impressing the Buccaneers coaching staff in offseason workouts.

“We have to kind of tell him when to leave,” Bucs HC Lovie Smith said, via Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com.“For him, there’s been a lot of individual work, but having a chance this week to go against our best defense and things like that [has been good]. We have a long ways to go. But we like where he is right now.”

Jaguars

• Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald writes that the Dolphins should keep an eye on Eagles G Evan Mathis and Jaguars G Zane Beadles in the months in case either of them end up being released.

Patriots

• Patriots DE Jake Bequette has gotten some work at tight end during OTAs. (Mike Reiss)

Ravens

Ravens veteran WR Steve Smith mentioned that he has no plans to play until he’s 40 years old.

“Jerry Rice is obviously the greatest wide receiver to ever play, and I really don’t have the family structure to chase 40, to be honest,” Smith said, via the Baltimore Sun. “I have got a lot of things on my to-do list that don’t have anything to do with football. I’m going to take it day by day, but I will not be playing until I’m 40.”
