Bruce Carter "expected" to be released, one year after signing $17 million contract

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to release linebacker Bruce Carter tomorrow, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.

Carter was signed in free agency last year as a prospective middle linebacker, but he lost that job to fourth-round rookie Kwon Alexander in training camp. Carter then competed for playing time at strongside linebacker but, lost that to Danny Lansanah. He did get on the field in some sub packages during the year, and got three starts at middle linebacker at the end of the season when Alexander was suspended.
