According to a report by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be releasing running back Leonard Fournette when the new league year begins on March 15.
Fournette has $2 million fully guaranteed left on his contract and another $2M would’ve become fully guaranteed on March 19. Instead, he’ll be a free agent after the league year begins, allowing TB to spread the cap hit. https://t.co/qmkbJ1x9cV

This move will allow the Buccaneers to spread out the dead money owed to Fournette, and create more cap space for 2023.
