Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut veteran wide receiver

The Louisiana native has been sidelined with an injury over the last few practices. Grayson didn't suit up for either of Tampa Bay's first two preseason games. In the end, missing time while in a deep battle for a roster spot didn't help his cause.

Grayson went undrafted out of LSU in 2017. He bounced around with six different teams during his first two years in the league before landing with the Buccaneers in 2019. Grayson only caught one pass over his first two years in Tampa. He earned slightly more of an opportunity to display his skillset in 2021.

The 5-foot-9, 183-pound wide receiver totaled a career-high ten catches for 212 yards and two touchdowns. He hauled in a 50-yard touchdown against the New Orleans Saints on Halloween. Grayson caught a 62-yard pass in a win over Carolina in December. When Antonio Brown decided to retire in the middle of the game, Grayson stepped up. He reeled in a career-best six catches for 81 yards and the game-winning score.

Tampa Bay still holds Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Russell Gage, Julio Jones, Scotty Miller, Tyler Johnson, Breshad Perriman, Jaelon Darden, and Deven Thompkins at wide receiver. The Buccaneers will likely keep five to seven wide receivers on their final roster.
