The Buccaneers cut their 2024 roster down to 53 players well ahead of the 4 pm ET deadline on Tuesday, August 27. Fox Sports’ Greg Auman, Pewter Report’s Scott Reynolds and Buccaneers GameDay’s JC Allen announced the roster cuts on Monday, with Auman reporting the final seven players on Monday night, including quarterback John Wolford, who is expected to be re-signed to the practice squad in addition to several other players who were waived on Monday.
So that’s it for the Buccaneers. They’re already down to 53 players well before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. deadline. Final cuts to get there:
QB John Wolford
WR Ryan Miller
WR Cody Thompson
OL Luke Haggard
C Avery Jones
LB Vy Jones
LB Antonio Greer— Greg Auman (@gregauman) August 27, 2024
Cut down from 90 to 53 players, the Buccaneers’ first regular-season roster for 2024 has been assembled. It’s made up of 23 offensive players and 27 defensive players, a roster that was reported as a possibility on Monday’s Pewter Report podcast, but will be made up of just a few players on offense and defense.
Two players — running back Chase Edmonds and wide receiver Rakim Jarrett — He will be placed on injured reserve to start the season. Edmonds and Jarrett will not be included on the 53-man roster.
Just two seasons before the 2022 season, the Buccaneers were one of the oldest teams in the league, but now the team has just three players over the age of 30. The oldest is linebacker Lavonte David at 34, followed by defensive tackle Will Gholston at 33 and wide receiver Mike Evans, who just turned 31.
According to Oman’s report, Fifty-three of Tampa Bay’s players were draft picks or joined the team as undrafted free agents.
That’s impressive: 44 of the Buccaneers’ 53 players were either drafted by Tampa Bay or started for the team as undrafted rookies. Only five were outside players: Mayfield, Bredeson, Skurr, Walton, Gaines, Brown, Hall, Thomas and McLaughlin.
