The Buccaneers stayed true to coach Dirk Koetter’s word, and kept all three of their quarterbacks as they reduced their roster.
According to Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times, the Bucs aren’t going to officially announce their moves until Saturday, but since they played on Wednesday and there’s a hurricane going on, they went ahead and did their business today.
In making their moves, they’ve kept quarterbacks Mike Glennon and Ryan Griffin behind starter Jamies Winston, despite Koetter’s stated preference to keep just two on the 53-man roster.
The Buccaneers cut the following players: Running backs Peyton Barber and Russell Hansbrough, wide receivers Bernard Reedy, Kenny Bell, Freddie Martino and Jonathan Krause, tight end Danny Vitale, offensive linemen Josh Allen, Ben Gottschalk, Kelvin Palmer and Kyler Kerbyson, defensive end Kourtnei Brown, defensive tackles Cliff Matthews and A.J. Francis, linebackers Luke Rhodes, Josh Keyes, Jeremiah George and Micah Awe and defensive backs Javien Elliott and Isaiah Johnson, who both could end up on practice squad.
Wide receiver Louis Murphy and guard J.R. Sweezy remain on the physically unable to perform list.
