Bowles' promotion apparently didn't surprise players.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive lineman Steve McLendon got the first interception of his 12-year NFL career in Monday night’s big win over the New York Giants, but his celebration will cost him a pretty penny.
Tampa Bay’s defensive line depth could lead to an “interesting battle for roster spots,” and Steve McLendon might find himself on the outside looking in.
The Jets traded McLendon and a 2023 seventh-rounder to the Bucs last October in exchange for a 2022 sixth-round choice.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Washington Football Team 31-23 this past Saturday night and will have revenge on their minds as they prepare to face the New Orleans Saints. Tampa Bay's defense should be more whole for that matchup.
Reports of McLendon being traded to the Bucs surfaced less than two hours after the Jets’ 24-0 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
