fc Donovan Smith to get tagged, means about $14 mil to him...

[sluggo72]

It appears left tackle Donovan Smith will be staying in Tampa for the 2019 season one way or another.

Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports that the Buccaneers are expected to use the franchise tag on Smith before Tuesday afternoon’s deadline to put it in place. The tag comes with a salary of $14.067 million should Smith sign it and play out the year under those terms.

Stroud adds that talks about a longer deal have been going well and that an agreement could come at some point after the deadline. The two sides would have until July 15 to work out a multi-year deal if the tag is in place.

Smith has started all 64 games the Bucs have played since selecting him in the second round of the 2015 draft. He ranked No. 25 on PFT’s list of the top 100 free agents and taking him off the market would leave Trent Brown, Ja'Wuan James and Daryl Williams as

That’s awesome. Happy it worked out for him! Go PSU!

That’s quite a turn around from the reports on him a couple of years ago. Good for Donovan for sticking it out and working hard. This is well deserved!

 

[Obliviax]

good for him.

The better our former players do in the NFL. The easier it becomes for James Franklin
to keep pumping highly-rated new players into the program.

Just goes to show how lucrative even being a mediocre LT is.

He was rated the #46 OT in the NFL by Pro Football Focus

He's a beast and always seemed like a great guy. Good for him

Great representation of PSU and 1 of 3 left in the NFL of the Supa 6!

ike Garafolo of NFL Media reported and PFT has confirmed that the deal is worth a total of $41.25 million. Of that total, $27 million is guaranteed

“Supa 6”...... ugh.

Was there ever anything more “not” what people like to think PSU FB is all about? Than that “Supa 6” nonsense?

I was only kidding, it's stupid.

They were all at Kyle Carter's baby shower over the weekend and Adrian Amos posted picture on his IG that they're the reason that Penn State stated afloat during that time or something along those lines.

Gimmie a f'ing break.
