Jaron Spor, Ryan Lavoie and former NFL player Marcus Ray break down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ biggest decisions from cutdown day as the team officially sets its initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season.
The crew starts with the biggest surprise: Tampa Bay released Jake Browning and named Jalon Daniels QB2 behind Baker Mayfield. Did the undrafted rookie do enough during the preseason to earn the job, and was Tampa Bay right to choose Daniels’ upside over Browning’s NFL experience?
Then the guys break down the rest of the Bucs’ 53-man roster, including the biggest surprises, toughest cuts and the position groups that could still cause problems during the regular season. Tampa Bay made 38 roster moves to get down to 53, with all seven members of the 2026 draft class making the initial roster.
Next, we dive into the report that Josiah Trotter—not Rueben Bain—could become the face of Tampa Bay’s defense. Is Trotter the next defensive leader in Tampa, or is Bain still the player most likely to become the centerpiece of this unit?
Finally, Jaron, Ryan and Marcus answer your questions in the Bucs Q&A before going Around the NFL to discuss the biggest roster decisions and surprises from cutdown day.
