The Bucs trimmed their 2024 roster down to 53 players well before the 4:00 p.m. ET deadline on Tuesday, August 27. Fox Sports’ Greg Auman, Pewter Report’s Scott Reynolds and Bucs Gameday’s J.C. Allen came up with the roster cuts on Monday with Auman reporting the final seven players on Monday evening, including quarterback John Wolford, who is expected to be re-signed to the practice squad in addition to several other players who were released on Monday.
So Bucs are done. They’re already down to 53, well ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. deadline. Final cuts to get there:
QB John Wolford
WR Ryan Miller
WR Cody Thompson
OL Luke Haggard
C Avery Jones
LB Vi Jones
LB Antonio Grier— Greg Auman (@gregauman) August 27, 2024
With the roster pared down from 90 to 53, the initial 2024 Bucs regular season roster has been assembled. It features 23 offensive players and 27 defensive players – something that was reported as a possibility on the Pewter Report Podcast on Monday, albeit with just a few different players comprising the offense and defense.
Two players – running back Chase Edmonds and wide receiver Rakim Jarrett – will be placed on injured reserve to start the season. Edmonds and Jarrett won’t count towards the 53-man roster.
The Bucs were one of the older teams in the league just two seasons ago in 2022, but now the team has just three players age 30 or older. Linebacker Lavonte David is the oldest at age 34, followed by defensive tackle Will Gholston, who is 33, and wide receiver Mike Evans, who just turned 31.
As reported by Auman, 44 of Tampa Bay’s 53 players were draft picks or started with the team as undrafted free agents.
This is wild — 44 of the Bucs’ 53 players were either drafted by Tampa Bay or started there as an undrafted rookie. Only ones from outside: Mayfield, Bredeson, Skule, Walton, Gaines, Brown, Hall, Thomas, McLaughlin. https://t.co/zAORjq7iVV
