Tracking the 2026 Buccaneers roster cuts

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are actively trimming their roster in preparation for the NFL deadline, having made a total of 20 cuts so far. These roster reductions include players from various positions such as quarterbacks Jake Browning and Connor Bazelak, running back Barika Kpeenu, wide receivers Dean Patterson, Eric Rivers, and Jha’Quan Jackson, tight ends Devin Culp and Kenny Fletcher, guards Elijah Klein and Nash Hutmacher, and tackle Marshall Foerner.

Defensively, the team has let go of players including defensive linemen Jayson Jones, Josiah Green, and Travis Shaw, outside linebacker Yasir Holmes, inside linebackers Nick Jackson and John Bullock, and safety Rashad Wisdom. Additionally, the Bucs have waived kicker B.T. Potter and long snapper Scott Daly. The most significant move is the departure of quarterback Jake Browning, which opens up a spot for undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels to serve as Baker Mayfield's backup quarterback.

Further cuts are anticipated before the 6 p.m. ET deadline as the Buccaneers finalize their initial 53-man roster for the regular season.
