The Tampa Bay Buccaneers completed the necessary roster maneuvering on Tuesday to get down to the 75-man limit before the 4:00 p.m. deadline. The next round of cuts will be on Saturday, when all teams must meet the regular-season maximum of 53 players.
Following the waiver of 10 players on Sunday, it took five more moves to get down to 75 players. However, the Bucs may end up parting ways with only one of the five players trimmed from the active roster on Tuesday.
Here are the five transactions filed by the Buccaneers:
- Released punter Michael Koenen
- Waived/injured guard Josh Allen
- Waived/injured WR Robert Herron
- Waived/injured CB Leonard Johnson
- Placed DT Akeem Spence on the Reserve/Physically unable to perform list
As a vested veteran, Koenen is not subject to the waiver wire and can immediately sign with any other team.
