The NFL's roster cutdown has put a new group of players on the open market, giving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a chance to make late additions before Week 1.
Tampa Bay has already made its own difficult decisions to reach the 53-man limit, but that doesn't mean the roster is set in stone. Players who clear waivers can begin signing with practice squads, while released veterans are free to negotiate with any team. As practice squads take shape, the Bucs should keep an eye on players who could strengthen the roster or add depth.
There are different levels of intrigue here. Players such as Diggs, Levis, Roberts, Conklin and Shepard have established NFL experience, while others could make more sense as developmental additions to the practice squad. There are also
familiar names in Williams and Kamara, both of whom spent the preseason competing for spots in Tampa Bay.
The Buccaneers don't necessarily need to make another move just because players are available. However, the days immediately following roster cuts give teams a chance to address weaknesses that weren't solved during the summer. With Week 1 approaching, Tampa Bay should at least be checking the market before deciding its current 53 is the group it wants to take into Cincinnati.
