Tracking the 2026 Buccaneers roster cuts
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are continuing to trim their roster ahead of Sunday’s deadline to reach the NFL-mandated 53 players.
According to FOX Sports’ Greg Auman, Tampa Bay has now made 20 cuts. The group includes 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 Bucs have moved on from defensive linemen Jayson Jones, Josiah Green and Travis Shaw, outside linebacker Yasir Holmes, inside linebackers Nick Jackson and John Bullock, and safety Rashad Wisdom.
Tampa Bay also waived kicker B.T. Potter and long snapper Scott Daly.
The most notable move is Browning, whose departure cleared the way for undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels to serve as Baker Mayfield’s backup quarterback. More moves are expected before the 6 p.m. ET deadline as the Buccaneers finalize their initial 53-man roster for the regular season.
Has moves are made throughout the NFL, odds are beginning to take shape. Be sure to check out FanDuel’s odds for this upcoming 2026 regular season, like the Bucs odds for this season’s Super Bowl set at +5000.

Bucs are waiving second-year safety J.J. Roberts, who missed most of camp recovering from knee surgery last year. He should be back on practice squad.
