Free agency and the NFL Draft is over, so it’s time to start fine-tuning rosters ahead of offseason workouts and training camp.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have an early decision to make, as the roster currently sits at 92 players. That’s two players over the 90-man limit, but Haggai Ndubuisi doesn’t count against the roster due to his International Player Pathway status.

That leaves the Bucs one player over the 90-man limit. Therefore, they’re going to have cut or trade someone in order to comply with league rules.

Here are five guys on the chopping block after the draft.

5 Buccaneers cut candidates after the 2026 NFL Draft

1. CB Damarion Williams

Williams hasn’t 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’ and Seahawks’ practice squads before joining the Buccaneers’ own practice squad in October 2025.

It’s hard to see him slotting into the Bucs’ cornerback room in terms of a 53-man roster capacity unless someone gets hurt and obviously, there aren’t practices or opportunities for injury, right now.

2. EDGE Chris Braswell

I will start off Braswell’s section by saying this: I don’t think the Buccaneers cut or trade Braswell until final cuts. So, he’ll likely just get cut once final cuts come around.

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’s a plausible reality.

Therefore, the Buccaneers will keep Braswell around until final cuts. That way they’re in a good spot if a bad injury happens. He’s in an impossible position, as well, because if he has a great training camp he’s probably going to get traded. If there’s a partner, of course.

The whole situation still warrants Braswell’s name on this list. He’s on the block, now, and will be for the next few months.

3. G Elijah Klein

I can flood this article with lower-level guys that are obvious names, so I’m trying to pick more “established” players that make sense.

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’s future.

Two swing tackles quickly puts the Bucs at seven offensive linemen. With Ben Bredeson’s ability to play center, that leaves Klein, Dan Feeney, Schrauth, and Luke Haggard as the primary competitors for the last 2-3 spots.

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.

4. TE Devin Culp

Culp didn’t 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.

The Buccaneers aren’t going to carry five tight ends on the roster. Culp has a unique skillset the rest of the room doesn’t have, but it doesn’t matter if he can’t get on the field for whatever reason.

He plays special teams, but I don’t think that’ll save his job.
