Dirk Koetter says there’s more to Austin Seferian-Jenkins’ release

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut Austin Seferian-Jenkins after a DUI arrest yesterday. That’s a fairly drastic move, but it was also the result of longer-standing issues. Or at least, that’s what head coach Dirk Koetter implied when talking to Alex Marvez of Sirius XM.

“It is disappointing. Austin’s a guy that we had high hopes for, was a second-round pick here a couple years back, fought through some injury issues, very talented individual.

“There’s more to every story than meets the eye, sometimes there’s more to it than I can say on the radio.”

Seferian-Jenkins had been kicked out of practice during the offseason, though he seemed to bounce back after that.
