Bucs make three roster moves Wednesday ahead of Week 3

Chase Edmonds headed to Injured Reserve and two other corresponding moves were made Wednesday.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made a few different roster moves ahead of their Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The team announced Wednesday that it is putting running back Chase Edmonds on Injured Reserve, which is set to sideline him for at least four weeks. In corresponding moves, the team signed defensive lineman Pat O’Connor to the active roster and re-signed DL Deadrin Senat to the practice squad to fill the spot that Connor leaves.

Edmonds suffered an MCL injury against the Chicago Bears that put him on IR — prior to that, he had two carries for 12 yards in the game. O’Connor has been a notable special teams player for Tampa Bay in recent years, and he finds himself on the active roster after initially being left off of it before the season started. Senat returns to the Bucs’ practice squad after being cut from the team entirely in 2023, re-entering the role he had with Tampa Bay at the beginning of 2022.

Bucs RB Chase Edmonds to potentially miss 4-6 weeks with MCL sprain

The Bucs could be left without their veteran presence in the backfield for a decent chunk of time.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be losing a depth piece for quite some time.

The Score’s Jordan Schultz reported on Monday that Bucs running back [autotag]Chase Edmonds[/autotag], who left Sunday’s game against the Bears with a knee injury, could go on short-term Injured Reserve due to an MCL sprain. The recovery time would be around 4-6 weeks, which would bring him back just under the midway point for the season.

Edmonds impressed in the little time he had before his injury against Chicago, carrying the ball twice for 12 yards. Edmonds has value as a third-down back and is among the only veteran presences in the running back room, so his injury could be a blow for the team in that regard. RB Rachaad White is set to remain the bell-cow for Tampa Bay and Sean Tucker will be RB2.

Kyler Murray and the Cardinals’ top per-attempt runners

A look at the top 10 in Cardinals franchise history in rushing yards per attempt. Kyler Murray is No. 1.

With no actual football happening, we can take time in the offseason to pore through some stats in Arizona Cardinals history.

Did you know that quarterback Kyler Murray is the most productive player in franchise history in terms of rushing yards per attempt?

Of all players all-time with at least 300 rushing attempts, he sits at the top.

Let’s see the top 10 rushing averages per attempt, again with at least 3– rushing attempts.

Bucs injury update on Day 2 of OTAs

Here are the Bucs players currently hampered by injury as OTAs continue.

[connatix div_id=”3f8b015acdd24c648befc5d5dac47469″ player_id=”afe1e038-d3c2-49c0-922d-6511a229f69c” cid=”7cbcea0d-4ce2-4c75-9a8d-fbe02a192c24″]

It is Day 2 of the first set of OTAs for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and some players are dealing with injuries as the offseason is underway.

FOX Sports’ Greg Auman reported on the team’s injuries on Wednesday, from those who are at OTAs and not practicing to those who are not at OTAs due to their injuries.

Here are the players who are at OTAs, but not practicing due to injury:

  • RB Chase Edmonds
  • RB Sean Tucker
  • DB Duron Lowe
  • TE Dominque Dafney

And here are the players not at OTAs due to injury:

  • G Aaron Stinnie
  • WR Russell Gage

RB Chase Edmonds had an ankle injury last November that could still be keeping him out of OTAs, though his exact injury is unknown. RB Sean Tucker is still dealing with the issue that was flagged at the NFL Combine and is expected to be cleared for training camp. WR Russell Gage’s injury is a new development, as QB Baker Mayfield spoke about it on Tuesday, and Stinnie tore his ACL in the preseason in 2022, so it’s possible he could still be recovering from that — that isn’t confirmed, however.

Tampa Bay will certainly hope that these players will be ready by training camp, though it’s hard to give a timetable for a few of them since their injuries are undisclosed at the time.

WATCH: New Bucs RB Chase Edmonds gives first message to Bucs fans

The Buccaneers officially announced the signing of the team’s newest backfield member.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made another signing official on Monday.

This time, it’s running back [autotag]Chase Edmonds[/autotag], who will be an extra set of legs in the backfield to compliment assumed-starter Rachaad White. The Bucs released Leonard Fournette and are unlikely to retain Giovani Bernard, so the addition will be a welcome one in the backfield as Tampa Bay shifts around its offense in the wake of Tom Brady’s departure. Edmonds previously played for both the Dolphins and the Broncos in 2022.

Check out what Edmonds said to Bucs fans after officially signing his contract to become a Buccaneer in the video above.

Bucs sign RB Chase Edmonds

Tampa Bay signs a running back to pair with Rachaad White in the backfield.

There’s a new running back in Tampa Bay.

Ian Rapoport reported on Thursday that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are signing free agent running back Chase Edmonds to a one-year deal worth the veteran minimum of $1.08 million. Edmonds played for both the Miami Dolphins and the Denver Broncos in 2022.

The signing will allow the Bucs to pair another running back with current Tampa Bay starter Rachaad White. Edmonds has firmly been a second back his whole career, with his best season coming in 2021 when he ran for 592 yards on 5.1 yards per carry and two rushing touchdowns with the Arizona Cardinals. The Buccaneers only had White and Ke’Shawn Vaughn under contract for 2023, so the move allows for a bit more flexibility in the backfield for the Bucs.

Bucs signing former Broncos RB Chase Edmonds

The #Bucs are signing former #Broncos RB Chase Edmonds to a one-year contract.

Chase Edmonds is landing on his feet after being cut by the Denver Broncos.

Edmonds has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to multiple reports. Edmonds, 26, was acquired by the Broncos from the Miami Dolphins as part of the Bradley Chubb trade last year.

Edmonds rushed 26 times for 125 yards and totaled six receptions for 61 receiving yards in five games with Denver last season.

The Broncos released Edmonds on March 10, a move that saved the team $5.92 million in salary cap space. Some of that extra cap space was used to sign Samaje Perine to a two-year, $7.5 million contract earlier this week.

With starting running back Javonte Williams facing an uncertain recovery timeline from his ACL and LCL injuries, Denver brought in Perine to serve as insurance early in the season. Once Williams is healthy, Perine will be an excellent complementary piece in the team’s backfield rotation.

Edmonds, meanwhile, will get a fresh start with the Bucs, his fourth team since 2021.

Broncos create more than $26.5M in cap space after cutting 3 players

After cutting Ronald Dabry, Graham Glasgow and Chase Edmonds, the Broncos are projected to have about $33 million in salary cap space.

Denver Broncos general manager George Paton is getting the team prepared for the start of NFL free agency next week by creating additional salary cap space.

The Broncos released three players — cornerback Ronald Darby ($9.6 million), offensive lineman Graham Glasgow ($11 million) and running back Chase Edmonds ($5.9 million) — in a trio of moves on Friday that created more than $26.5 million in additional cap space.

After making those moves, Denver has around $33 million in available cap space going into free agency. The exact number is disputed — Spotrac.com lists $33,861,307 while OverTheCap.com lists $33,130,684 — but it seems safe to say the total is within the ballpark of $33 million.

That should be enough for the Broncos to make a few splashes during NFL free agency next week, and the team could create more cap space with additional roster cuts. Denver could also restructure select contracts to create even more cap space.

Paton might not be done making cap-related moves just yet, but the team is in a healthy cap situation after Friday’s trio of cuts.

Broncos releasing RB Chase Edmonds to save cap space

The Broncos will save almost $6 million in salary cap space after cutting Chase Edmonds.

The Denver Broncos are releasing running back Chase Edmonds to save salary cap space, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Edmonds, 26, was scheduled to have a base salary of $5.66 million this season. Denver will create an additional $5.92 million in cap space after cutting Edmonds, according to OverTheCap.com.

The Broncos acquired Edmonds as part of the Bradley Chubb trade last year. He was healthy for five games in Denver last season, rushing 26 times for 125 yards and adding six receptions for 61 receiving yards.

Edmonds said after the season ended that he would like to remain with the Broncos, but without a restructured contract, he was unlikely to return in 2023. Edmonds will now become a free agent.

The Broncos, meanwhile, will be in the market for a running back this offseason. Javonte Williams, the team’s starter, is recovering from a torn ACL and LCL, putting his status for Week 1 in doubt.

Denver can begin negotiating with free agent running backs on Monday, and the team holds five picks for the upcoming NFL draft.

What will the Broncos do at running back this offseason?

“We need to add,” Broncos GM George Paton said of the team’s running back situation.

The Denver Broncos have an interesting situation at running back as they enter the 2023 NFL offseason.

Latavius Murray, Mike Boone and Marlon Mack are all scheduled to become unrestricted free agents on March 15. There’s been talk that Murray could re-sign, but Boone and Mack seem less likely to return.

The Broncos have said they expect Javonte Williams (knee) to be ready by Week 1, but that seems very optimistic (and unrealistic). Chase Edmonds is still under contract as well, but he will likely be asked to restructure.

Tyler Badie will also return, but he’s a long shot to win anything more than the RB4 role. Damarea Crockett and Tyreik McAllister are even less likely to earn notable roles this offseason.

So with Williams’ facing an uncertain status in 2023, the Broncos need to address the running back position this spring.

“We have a long way to go,” general manager George Paton said at the NFL combine last week. “I don’t know how many backs played. I look at our depth chart and we have, like, nine running backs. We obviously had a lot of injuries there. Javonte, we feel, will be healthy, [but] we need to add. We’re high on some of the guys that are up, some of the free agents. We do have Chase Edmonds coming back. We do need to add at that position.”

Paton went on to say that this year’s running back class is deep both in free agency and in the draft, which is obviously good news for Denver. Drafting a RB would be much more cost-effective than signing one, but we wouldn’t rule anything out on the RB front.

The position will be a key area to watch this offseason.
