And no, running back Doug Martin will not count against the roster limit while he serves his three-game suspension balance of his four-game sentence.
Defensive end Jacquies Smith does count toward the final-53 but he is currently on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.

Happy to see Bobo cut after the way he came off on Hard Knocks.
September 2nd, 2017 at 5:26 pm
I agree Bobo had to go! What a jerk!
September 2nd, 2017 at 5:26 pm
Haven’t seen it yet, what did Bobo do? Everyone seems to not like the guy…
September 2nd, 2017 at 5:27 pm
Just a reminder that last year the Bucs started at WR both Vincent Jackson and Cecil Shorts for a combined 10 games.
How times have changed.
Kind of shocked no one even called VJ to see what he was doing – or maybe someone did and he didn’t take the call.

Now the team has to go through the cuts of everyone looking for corners.
September 2nd, 2017 at 5:31 pm
He needs to have an attitude adjustment. Bobo forgot he was applying for a job that might bring him millions of dollars. He thought he was still in college.
Tomorrow morning might be a good wake up call for him.
Hopefully he finished college.

Damn one more, cut Fitzpatrick please.

Watch “Hard Knocks,” Episode 3.

So they cut BOTH long snappers? What’s up with that?
September 2nd, 2017 at 5:55 pm
Who is the longsnapper?
September 2nd, 2017 at 5:55 pm
@TampaTown: the current surviving 53 is not the final 53. I suspect the pro player scouting department is working overtime sifting through the cuts to see what can be skimmed off the top.
No doubt a LS is there somewhere, maybe with back-up OL cred. Don’t be surprised if one of the LS cut comes back.
It ain’t over. It’s just getting interesting.
September 2nd, 2017 at 5:56 pm
FWIW, there isn’t one cut that surprised me.

That Hansbrough kid has some skill. Also Walker wasn’t given enough of a chance.
September 2nd, 2017 at 6:30 pm
Cutting both long snappers is surprising. Option a) Glanton is a full time long snapper. Option b) once Ryan Griffin (or Jacquies Smith) goes on IR we bring back one (probably Sanborn). Option 3) as others have mentioned, pick up a long snapper from other cuts, but that still requires sticking players on IR or cutting more players.
I’ve honestly never been this intrigued by the long snapping game.

You can bash bono but the man did make it to the NFL level…good luck bobo
September 2nd, 2017 at 7:53 pm
Don’t sweat the long snapper stuff. There will be a transaction involving Ryan Griffin tomorrow which will open up a roster spot, and they’ll resign one of the long snappers then.
September 2nd, 2017 at 8:21 pm
@TampaTony – we have to wait one day for Griffin to be on the 53 then we can put him on the IR without subject to waivers. I’m sure we have a wink wink agreement with one of them to come back after that

@NJBucsFan:
Spoken like a true Jersey guy!
September 2nd, 2017 at 8:50 pm
Hopefully Bobo will wake up. He’s a talented kid but that attitude won’t even land a BestBuy job.
September 2nd, 2017 at 10:22 pm
Since we don’t have a long snapper I guess that means we’ll cut Anger soon. I never was happy when we had to punt anyway!😜

The only move I don’t get is why keep an injured defensive end in Jacques Smith and release a high upside motor guy in Riley Bullough? Practice squad at least?!? Curious to see the Hard Knocks coverage. #StickCarrier
