For better or for worse, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had to make roster cuts

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a massive amount of roster cuts beginning Friday morning as they attempt to get the active roster down to 53 to begin the season.

The Buccaneers, who will kickoff the 2020 season in just a little over a week against the New Orleans Saints, made several expected moves but also some unexpected ones, as well in regards to the roster.

Here’s a list of the players who were waived from the roster Friday (so far) as the Buccaneers prepare for the beginning of the season, first reported by The Athletic’s Greg Auman:
