Bruce Arians sends a message of accountability to his players through Hargreaves’ release

Bruce Arians was hired by the Bucs in hopes that he would remove the losing culture that has haunted the franchise over the past decade and replace it with the winning ways of the mid-90s to early 2000s.

The wins haven’t arrived just yet, but Arians made it clear on Tuesday that he isn’t playing around when it comes to effort on the field.

As you know, the Bucs released Vernon Hargreaves III on Tuesday. The four-year vet never got it going due to injuries and ineffective play, but he was caught loafing during a 55-yard catch-and-run in the Cardinals game.
