Gerald McCoy Signs With Bucs

On the first day of training camp the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed their 1st round draft pick, Gerald McCoy to a 5 year contract. If big expensive contracts disgust you, now’s the time to stop reading.

Without once having step foot on a NFL football field, the Bucs signed McCoy to a 5 year contract worth $63.42 Million. That’s a over $200,000 for every pound McCoy weighs (295 lbs). McCoy is a Defensive Tackle who was signed to hopefully fill the void that Warren Sapp left in the Bucs defensive line from a few years ago.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Betting Odds

The Bucs are expecting big things from their rookie and are hoping that McCoy is the missing piece to stopping their opponents running game. Online sportsbooks currently have the Bucs favored at 150/1 betting odds to win the Super Bowl, and sitting at 70/1 betting odds to win their NFC Conference. Although the Bucs made a couple of good moves this offseason, they are still not likely to get past their division. The Bucs are currently favored at +1500 betting odds to take their NFC South Division.
