However, this release specifically has opened up many possibilities for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their players. First, removing J.R. Sweezy frees up $6.5 Million in cap space.
The money should go somewhere productive. Many young Bucs have re-signings coming and it’s possible the team could earmark the money this season for a one-year veteran addition.
One player this move directly impacts is Caleb Benenoch. The young lineman has seen his name attached to both the right guard and the right tackle positions.
With this move, he’s got to be the favorite to become the new right guard in Tampa as the team continues to look forward to the return of Demar Dotson to man the tackle position.
