Buccaneers' GM Jason Licht Throws Shade at Saints Star After Clinching NFC South
Who is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' most despised opponent? Ask any Bucs fan, player, or coach, and you're more than likely going to get the same answer.
It's the New Orleans Saints.
Well, apparently the collective disdain for the Saints goes right to the top of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization.
Shortly after the Bucs clinched their third consecutive NFC South Division title, following a 9-0 victory against the Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay's General Manager, Jason Licht, took to Twitter to throw some shade in the direction of a New Orleans Saints player.
It appears that not only does Jason Licht have NFC South Championships in his bag, but he's got receipts as well. And the one he chose to share on social media following the Bucs' victory on Sunday dates back to last year's Pro Bowl when Saints' veteran pass rusher, Cam Jordan, took an unsolicited shot at the Buccaneers.
When asked about the status of other NFC South teams heading into the 2023 season, Jordan said, "Tampa Bay will probably go back to where Tampa Bay's been" before erupting into laughter.
It was a shot of disrespect aimed squarely at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization, and it was one that the Bucs' General Manager clearly didn't forget it.
