With Diaby, Bain, Muhammad, and Walker all locked in for the first four spots, Braswell could get squeezed off the roster.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019s competing<\/a> with veteran Anthony Nelson for the fifth and likely final outside linebacker spot, but with Nelson sticking around on the team since 2019 and recording at least three sacks in five straight seasons, he surely has the upper hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n Braswell still has an opportunity to change the narrative, and the team wants him to succeed, but so far, he has all the makings of a draft bust. If he can\u2019t perform for the remainder of training camp and the preseason, the Bucs could be forced to move on and let Braswell find a change of scenery and fresh start elsewhere.<\/p>\n Devin Culp, TE<\/p>\n Culp was drafted in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He has the athleticism to develop into a dangerous receiving threat at the tight end position, but he\u2019s simply failed to make any consistent impact.<\/a><\/p>\n Through two seasons, he\u2019s recorded six receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n The tight end room behind Cade Otton is starting to get crowded, and Culp could be on the outside looking in. The Buccaneers drafted Bauer Sharp with their sixth-round pick this year, and he\u2019s been impressive all offseason throughout OTAs, minicamp and now training camp.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ko Kieft and Payne Durham are the other tight ends competing for roster spots, but each of their blocking abilities are far superior to Culp\u2019s, making them more likely to see the field. Kieft\u2019s value as a special teams ace, along with the one-year extension he signed earlier this offseason only further strengthens his case.\u00a0<\/p>\n If Culp can\u2019t separate himself throughout the rest of training camp and the preseason, his time in Tampa Bay could be coming to an end.<\/p>\n
