Jason Licht roasts Cam Jordan over past comment, stat line after Bucs beat Saints
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the lowly New Orleans Saints on Sunday and general manager Jason Licht took time out after the game to roast Cam Jordan.
Licht committed the public roasting of Jordan on X.
The Buccaneers general manager posted an old video of Jordan from a few years back when he was talking about the retirement of Tom Brady and how he was happy the future Hall of Fame signal-caller was out of the NFC South.
Jordan also took a shot at the Bucs in his comments.
"We're glad he's out of the division," Jordan said of Brady. "Tampa Bay will probably go back to... where Tampa Bay has been."
Licht clearly did not forget about that and posted the video of Jordan's comment, but also included Jordan's stat line from the Week 8 game, which was all zeros except for one lonely tackle.

Boom. Roasted.
It's rare for a team executive to be up to such things on social media, but Licht is cut from a different cloth and, quite honestly, it's fun to see that.
Tampa Bay handled the Saints without much of an issue in Week 8, with the Bucs cruising to a 23-3 victory over what is one of the worst teams in the NFL.
The Bucs are now sitting at 6-2 and in first place in the division, and they gained a game on the Carolina Panthers, who lost to the Buffalo Bills by a wide margin.
Meanwhile, the Saints are going nowhere at 1-7 and the team desperately needs to have a fire sale in order to get the franchise moving in the right direction for the long haul.
Nick Herbig’s Role Remains Limited Amid Shrinking Snap Share
Once is by chance. Twice is a pattern. Mike Tomlin attempted to explain Nick Herbig’s low snap count last week by pointing to game circumstances and told everybody to “keep watching.” But his snap total went down Sunday night in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 35-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers. So what gives?
This isn’t about rotation preference anymore — this is about a talented young player not being rewarded for production on a reeling defense that badly needs it.
After playing 29 snaps (38.2 percent) a week ago, Herbig played 24 snaps (37.5 percent) against the Packers.
When Tomlin explained why Herbig didn’t play many snaps last week, he pointed to the Steelers’ failure to stop the run. They were also playing a lot of sub-package football with extra defensive backs on the field, and that made it difficult to get Herbig in the mix. That excuse evaporated on Sunday, yet Herbig still sat for much of the game.
If there is one thing the Steelers did well on defense against the Packers, it was stop the run. They ended the game with 94 rushing yards, but that was on 26 carries, and a solid chunk of those yards came after the game was already in hand in the fourth quarter. The Steelers stuffed the run just fine, yet they still didn’t find ample opportunity to get Herbig on the field. In fact, his role shrank.
On Pro Football Focus’s initial review of the game, the outlet credited T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith for four combined pressures on 106 combined snaps. Herbig needed just 24 snaps to get two pressures.
Herbig also forced the only fumble of the game for the Steelers. Even if it rolled out of bounds before Pittsburgh could recover, he flashed his typical playmaking ways.
Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said it as plain as could be on Oct. 1. “We will not limit Nick Herbig.” Since then, he’s played his lowest snap totals of the season.
The NFL is supposed to be a meritocracy, where the best players get the playing time regardless of their pay scale. I get that the Steelers have a ton of money tied up in Watt and Highsmith, but it’s unacceptable to continue leaving Herbig off the field.
How many times does a player need to force fumbles and make sacks before his role increases?
