The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had to make tough decisions when it came time to cut their roster down from 91 to 53.<\/p>\n
As Tuesday is quickly approaching and is the deadline for all NFL teams to finalize their 2025 season roster.<\/p>\n
Among the 38 players that were cut, one that noticeably stood out is Shilo Sanders<\/a>. Sanders is a safety from the University of Colorado who has been a hot commodity. He starred for his father Deion Sanders and played alongside his brother Shadeur Sanders who now plays for the Browns.\u00a0<\/p>\n He signed with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent after April\u2019s NFL Draft.<\/p>\n The Buccaneers waived Sanders on Sunday after he was ejected from a preseason game for throwing a punch at an opposing player.<\/p>\n In less than 24 hours, rookie safety Shilo Sanders got ejected from a game and then waived from the Buccaneers. pic.twitter.com\/HcyUk5uv9e<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Given his notoriety, Sanders could make it onto another team\u2019s practice squad in the near future.<\/p>\n Former Florida Gator Desmond Watson has signed with the Buccaneers as a defensive tackle. He weighed 464 pounds on his pro day and the Buccaneers hope that he can make a big interior difference as long as he can get lighter while maintaining strength.<\/p>\n As the Buccaneers look to make cuts for their 53 man roster, Watson could be one of them but the Buccaneers only promised him $70,000 when he signed and they hope that his size can help the team out this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n Watson\u2019s NFL career has been put on hold until he reaches specific weight and conditioning goals. Currently, he cannot practice with the team.<\/p>\n Some other noticeable players who did not make the 53 man cut:<\/p>\n Jose Ramirez is an offensive linebacker who is a former sixth round draft pick from Eastern Michigan University. This was his second consecutive season missing the final roster. However, there is a chance he could get placed on the practice squad or claimed off the waivers.\u00a0 Category: Football<\/a>, NFL<\/a>, Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> <\/p>\n
\nWIll Brooks is a safety from the University of Tennessee and spent only six days with the Buccaneers. Brooks played in the final preseason game but was cut shortly after.
\nMike Greene is a defensive lineman who attended James Madison. He joined the team three years ago in 2022 as an undrafted free agent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
