The Buccaneers\u2019 roster is at 92 players after free agency and the draft. One player is exempt due to IPP status, leaving the Bucs one player over the 90-man limit. Here are five players that could get cut or traded, soon.<\/p>\n

Free agency and the NFL Draft is over, so it\u2019s time to start fine-tuning rosters ahead of offseason workouts and training camp.<\/p>\n
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have an early decision to make, as the roster currently sits at 92 players. That\u2019s two players over the 90-man limit, but Haggai Ndubuisi doesn\u2019t count against the roster due to his International Player Pathway status. <\/p>\n
That leaves the Bucs one player over the 90-man limit. Therefore, they\u2019re going to have cut or trade someone in order to comply with league rules.<\/p>\n
Here are five guys on the chopping block after the draft.<\/p>\n
5 Buccaneers cut candidates after the 2026 NFL Draft<\/p>\n
1. CB Damarion Williams<\/p>\n
Williams hasn\u2019t played a single snap since 2023, which immediately raises a red flag when it comes to his future with the Buccaneers. He was on the Ravens\u2019 and Seahawks\u2019 practice squads before joining the Buccaneers\u2019 own practice squad in October 2025.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to see him slotting into the Bucs\u2019 cornerback room in terms of a 53-man roster capacity unless someone gets hurt and obviously, there aren\u2019t practices or opportunities for injury, right now.<\/p>\n
2. EDGE Chris Braswell<\/p>\n
I will start off Braswell\u2019s section by saying this: I don\u2019t think the Buccaneers cut or trade Braswell until final cuts. So, he\u2019ll likely just get cut once final cuts come around.<\/p>\n
UNLESS Yaya Diaby, Rueben Bain Jr., Anthony Nelson, Al-Quadin Muhammad, or David Walker suffer a bad injury in the next few months. We saw Walker tear his ACL early into camp, so it\u2019s a plausible reality.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the Buccaneers will keep Braswell around until final cuts. That way they\u2019re in a good spot if a bad injury happens. He\u2019s in an impossible position, as well, because if he has a great training camp he\u2019s probably going to get traded. If there\u2019s a partner, of course.<\/p>\n
The whole situation still warrants Braswell\u2019s name on this list. He\u2019s on the block, now, and will be for the next few months.<\/p>\n
3. G Elijah Klein<\/p>\n
I can flood this article with lower-level guys that are obvious names, so I\u2019m trying to pick more \u201cestablished\u201d players that make sense.<\/p>\n
The Buccaneers created good depth along the interior offensive line after drafting Billy Schrauth. When including the idea the Bucs could carry two swing tackles on the 53-man roster, it raises a question when it comes to Feeney\u2019s future.<\/p>\n
Two swing tackles quickly puts the Bucs at seven offensive linemen. With Ben Bredeson\u2019s ability to play center, that leaves Klein, Dan Feeney, Schrauth, and Luke Haggard as the primary competitors for the last 2-3 spots. <\/p>\n
The Bucs liked Feeney enough to bring him back for 2026 and then Haggard got the nod over Klein for the most part, last year. Klein is certainly facing an uphill battle heading into offseason activities.<\/p>\n
4. TE Devin Culp<\/p>\n
Culp didn\u2019t take the step forward a lot of people thought he would, which leaves him on the outs heading into offseason activities. The Buccaneers also drafted Bauer Sharp in the seventh round and Ko Kieft is returning from injury.<\/p>\n
The Buccaneers aren\u2019t going to carry five tight ends on the roster. Culp has a unique skillset the rest of the room doesn\u2019t have, but it doesn\u2019t matter if he can\u2019t get on the field for whatever reason.<\/p>\n
He plays special teams, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019ll save his job.<\/p>\n
