Cuts Are In

Here is the list of cuts made by the Bucs today. No major surprises, though I expected that Warren would be kept, but placed on IR, which doesn't count against the 53 man roster. Probably the biggest names in the cuts were Wyms and Winborn. Apparently neither player made enough plays or impressions to be retained.

One cut I'm disappointed in was Kenneth Darby, who played well at times and showed some promise. If he clears waivers, the Bucs may pick him up for the practice squad, but he could still be snatched up by someone else.

The biggest retention on the team has got to be Chris Simms. Of course, when you understand that the Bucs just signed him to a 2 year extension with $3 million up front, I think you have to believe that they aren't ready to piss that money away. Chris will get at least a month, more than likely, to improve his performance. That's when Cox is eligible to come back, and the Bucs will either have to cut someone or cut Cox. Of course, there are other candidates that could get whacked. The Bucs also may not be done, as other cut players may be of interest to the Bucs. We'll see if this ends up being the 53 man roster that actually goes into the season, or if something changes during the week.
