And just like that the Panthers will have access to a lot of intel on the Buccaneers’ new offense.
The Bucs’ third-string quarterback last year and through 2024 training camp, John Wolford, is about to sign with the Panthers, per various Carolina reporters.
Wolford got banged up in a preseason game this month and the Bucs cut him this week. He didn’t land on the Tampa Bay practice squad, presumably because the Bucs wanted to roll with rookie QB Michael Pratt.
Pratt was cut this week by the Packers after Green Bay drafted him in Round 7. And the Bucs pounced.
Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht explained yesterday that he’s had his eyes on Pratt for years.
Of course, the Panthers head coach is Dave Canales, the guy who ran the Bucs offense last season.
Joe might have been a little concerned about what Wolford can tell Canales about the Bucs’ new offense, but the Panthers don’t face the Bucs until December. So it’s almost irrelevant given how much the film will be out there of the Tampa Bay offense and how it will evolve from where it is today.
