Source: Buccaneers expected to release Cameron Brate

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are $55 million above the salary cap threshold, are expected to release veteran tight end Cameron Brate, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Thursday.

Brate carries a $5 million salary cap hit, and his release will be one of several roster moves made by the team to become cap compliant by March 13 at 4 p.m. ET.

The Bucs also informed running back Leonard Fournette this week that he'd be released in a move that will save nearly $3.5 million in cap space.
