Tue May 27 2014 | 16:32 | Report: Rams 'set to sign' OG Davin Joseph |
FOX Sports' Alex Marvez reports the Rams are "set to sign" free agent OG Davin Joseph. |
The Rams were linked to Joseph at the start of free agency, but ended up waiting over two months for his price to come down. Going on 31, Joseph would presumably be signed to start, meaning either No. 2 overall pick Greg Robinson or Rodger Saffold would be kicked out to tackle. |

Free agent OG Davin Joseph recently visited the Patriots. |
It's Joseph's third-known visit since getting released by the Bucs on the eve of free agency, but first in nearly a month. Coming off a dreadful 2013, Joseph would just be a depth signing, though he could compete with RG Dan Connolly. |

Mon Apr 21 2014 | 15:24 | Cowboys won't sign Davin Joseph |
According to Bryan Broaddus of the team's website, the Cowboys will "not" sign free agent OG Davin Joseph. |
The Cowboys hosted Joseph on April 16. They have a need at right guard, so the fact that Dallas won't be adding Joseph suggests his medicals may still be an issue. Joseph's performance tumbled in 2013 as he attempted to return from a 2012 patellar tendon tear. He's also drawn light interest from the Rams. |

Free agent OG Davin Joseph is visiting the Cowboys. |
Joseph visited the Rams over a month ago after getting his release from the Bucs. He's entering his age-31 season and had a disappointing 2013 after coming back from a torn patellar tendon.

The Rams are hosting OG Davin Joseph for a free agent visit. |
St. Louis is getting desperate at guard after whiffing on Geoff Schwartz, losing Chris Williams to Buffalo, and seeing Rodger Saffold overpaid in Oakland. They're also in danger of losing Shelley Smith. Joseph struggled mightily in his 2013 return from a torn patellar tendon. He's entering his age-31 campaign. |

Mon Mar 10 2014 | 19:14 | Dolphins could be interested in FA RG Joseph |
The Miami Herald reports the Dolphins could be interested in free agent RG Davin Joseph. |
Joseph was released by the Bucs over the weekend and has ties to new Dolphins GM Dennis Hickey. Miami needs help all over the offensive line. LT Branden Albert is set to sign with the Dolphins on Tuesday. He and C Mike Pouncey are the only locked in starters. Joseph will turn 30 during the season and may be damaged goods. |

Sat Mar 8 2014 | 12:33 | Buccaners attempting to trade Davin Joseph |
Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud reports the Buccaneers are attempting to trade RG Davin Joseph. |
Joseph has been a shell of his former self since returning from a 2012 patellar tendon tear and is set to count $6 million against Tampa's cap. Joseph would be a candidate for release if the Bucs are unable to move him. Tampa will not get more than a late-round pick if anything at all. |

Thu Mar 6 2014 | 09:20 | Davin Joseph 'could be had' in a trade? |
Teams reportedly believe Bucs RG Davin Joseph could be had in a trade. |
With a new regime in town, there's going to be some housecleaning. Joseph was a two-time Pro Bowler and lane-paver in the run game prior to his 2012 torn patellar tendon, but was horrific upon his return in 2013. He'll turn 30 years old in November and is owed $6 million in base salary. The Bucs wouldn't get anything more than a late-round pick at best for Joseph. |

Fri Apr 19 2013 | 20:21 | Davin Joseph is all systems go |
Bucs RG Davin Joseph (knee) was a full participant as the team convened for its offseason program this week. |
"Rehab is over with," confirmed Joseph, who tore his right patellar tendon last preseason. "[I'm] working out with the team, getting ready for the season, pushing with no limitations." Joseph is one of the better run-blocking guards in football. His return will be a boon to Doug Martin's efficiency in 2013. |

Sat Feb 2 2013 | 14:38 | Bucs RG Joseph says knee is fully recovered |
Bucs RG Davin Joseph says he is fully recovered from his torn right patellar tendon that caused him to miss the entire season. |
"I've always had minor issues with my patellar and I think my right knee is stronger now than it's ever been," Joseph said. Joseph suffered the injury in the middle of the preseason and underwent surgery in late August. With Joseph and LG Carl Nicks (toe) returning to health, it's a boon to Doug Martin's already-high fantasy stock. When healthy, the Bucs offensive line is one of the most powerful run-blocking units in the league. |

Sat Aug 25 2012 | 10:31 | Report: Davin Joseph has broken kneecap |
According to Bucs sideline reporter Dave Wirth, RG Davin Joseph's left knee injury is a broken kneecap, and he'll be sidelined at least three months. |
There's a glimmer of hope Joseph could return this season, but he'll still more than likely be placed on injured reserve. A broken kneecap would be preferable to a host of torn ligaments, but it's still awful news for a team counting on a power-rushing attack. What was going to be one of the Bucs' only obvious strengths in interior-line play is now a question mark with G/C Ted Larsen expected to line up opposite All-Pro LG Carl Nicks. |

Bucs RG Davin Joseph was carted off the field with a left knee injury in the second quarter of Friday night's preseason game. |
Multiple observers suggested the injury looked serious, and Joseph was replaced by Ted Larsen. Losing Joseph could be a large blow to Tampa's offensive line, which is a power-blocking unit. Joseph is perhaps their most powerful lineman. |

Thu Jul 28 2011 | 23:59 | Bucs reel in Davin Joseph |
Bucs agreed to terms with RG Davin Joseph on a multi-year contract. |
Joseph broke the news on Twitter. Though opinions across the NFL seem mixed on Joseph, the Bucs know his potential as a mauling run blocker. They also were smart to slow-play his market; there were no other teams linked to him in reports all week. Joseph, 27, will return as the team's starting right guard. He is expected to flourish in new line coach Pat Morris' power-blocking scheme. |

Wed Jul 27 2011 | 11:15 | Davin Joseph yet to receive offer from Bucs |
Free agent RG Davin Joseph indicated on Twitter Wednesday that he's yet to receive a contract offer from the Bucs. |
Bucs GM Mark Dominik strongly hinted in a Tuesday press conference that Joseph is the team's top priority, but the team appears to be slow-playing it. As far as we can tell, it's working because Joseph has not been connected to any other teams. Ideally, Dominik could lock up Joseph at a discounted rate. |

Mon Jul 18 2011 | 14:02 | Bucs' top priority is re-signing Davin Joseph |
Re-signing RG Davin Joseph is expected to be the Bucs' No. 1 priority during the 72-hour window for teams to retain their own free agents. |
The Bucs believe the underachieving Joseph will be a better fit in new line coach Pat Morris' power-blocking scheme. Joseph often struggled in Pete Mangurian's zone system. To retain Joseph, the Bucs may have to pony up one of the richest contracts for an offensive guard in league history. They have plenty of cap space to do it, of course, and need to at least hit the salary floor. |

Sun Jul 17 2011 | 10:34 | Stroud: Joseph Bucs' number-one priority |
The St. Petersburg Times' Rick Stroud believes re-signing free agent OG Davin Joseph will be the Bucs' number one priority following the end of the lockout. |
The general consensus has been that the Bucs would try to keep Joseph, but this is the bluntest language any reporter has put it in. Joseph is on the record as wanting to return, so the odds seem fairly high that he'll be back as Tampa Bay's right guard this season. |

Tue Jun 28 2011 | 18:50 | Bucs' moves will influence Joseph's return |
Although he wants to return to Tampa, free agent OG Davin Joseph says the Bucs' approach to re-signing key teammates will affect his decision. |
Joseph wants to ensure that the Bucs will take a "step in the right direction" as opposed to "trying to reconstruct the whole roster." In particular, Joseph wants to see OT Jeremy Trueblood and MLB Barrett Ruud re-signed. "I'm optimistic about staying here in Tampa," said Joseph. "This is where I want to be." |
