Nate

Brooks

Agim was a third-round pick by the Broncos in 2020, but hasn’t done better than a rotational role at the NFL. Never a good sign when you’re getting dropped by the Bengals as an interior lineman. The team also waived CB Nate Brooks, WR Cole Burgess, HB Quali Conley, S Shaquan Loyal, WR Rashod Owens, C Andrew Raym, CB Lance Robinson, G Andrew Stueber, QB Payton Thorne and LB Craig Young. Additionally they released DT Taven Bryan.

The Bucs also waived Quinton Bell, Nate Brooks, T.J. Simmons, and Lawrence White. This brings their roster down to 80 players. Pope was a long-shot to make Tampa Bay’s roster with Giovani Bernard and Ke’Shawn Vaughn standing in his way. He was unable to play in the team’s second preseason game because of an injury which likely spelled the end of his time in Tampa Bay.
