Buccaneers make two surprising moves

It’s cut time, and some Tampa Bay Buccaneers hopeful will be seeking a new home, while others will end up back on the team’s practice squad. Today, the Buccaneers have waived former 2020 5th-round draft pick, Tyler Johnson. Johnson saw action in 31 games catching 48 passes for 529 yards and 32 touchdowns during his 2 seasons with the Bucs. I would expect him to be one of the players signed to the practice squad on Wednesday if he clears waivers.

Here's a big and surprising cut: Bucs are waiving receiver Tyler Johnson today.

The second surprise move, the Buccaneers have traded linebacker Grant Stuard and a 2023 7th-round draft pick to the Colts for a 2023 6th-round draft pick.

The #Bucs have traded ILB Grant Stuard to the #Colts (along with a 2023 seventh-round pick) in return for a 2023 sixth-rounder.
