The Buccaneers go against NFL trend by targeting short cornerbacks

At the end of the 2016 preseason, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to have to cut some 37 players to get to a 53-man roster. Those cuts are more or less predictable, but a few of them are a surprise every year. Which veteran is on the roster bubble this year

ESPN listed a player on the 53-man roster bubble for every NFL team, and Mike DiRocco named Alterraun Verner as the Bucs player who will have to stand out to hang on to his roster spot.

Verner was a Pro Bowler with Tennessee but was benched last season for inconsistent play and was on the field mainly as a slot cornerback.
