[292] JULIO JONES IS A BUCCANEER! Plus, Bucs sign Kyle Rudolph as training camp begins.

Happy birthday to Ralph! He can now buy that Julio Jones jersey he's always wanted. A mix of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Jones can make an impact in a deep wide receiver room. His hamstring injury is healed and he's ready to chase a ring with Tom Brady. Other teams interested in signing Jones included the Packers, the Saints and the Colts. A call from Tom Brady sealed the deal.

Bucs also bring in TE Kyle Rudolph. Similar in size to Gronk, although not as bulky, he's also a great blocker. Between Jones and Rudolph, they may collectively replace Gronk's skillset.  

\n

Chris Godwin, who was initially not scheduled to return until mid-season, has miraculously been cleared for training camp thanks to TB12.   

\n

Could the Bucs' offense become more run heavy this year with Leonard Fournette as a bell-cow back? Ralph makes the case.  

\n

Vita Vea is shoring up his pass rush skills, furthering Ralph's theory that we may shift our defensive focus to the pass.
