The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are holding on to their veterans for now, but many other teams are not.
Case in point: the New York Jets are releasing linebacker David Harris and wide receiver Eric Decker (though they’re trying to trade him first), while the Baltimore Ravens just released tight end Dennis Pitta.
That’s because teams are getting close to the end of their offseason program, with most teams wrapping up by the middle of June. Players and coaches will get some time off before the start of training camp, which is generally somewhere toward the end of July.
