Bucs announce initial 53-man roster

The Buccaneers’ initial 53-man roster is now set.

The Buccaneers finished cutting down their roster to the 53-man limit on Tuesday, giving fans their first look at the 2024 squad:

There were few surprises in the Bucs’ journey to the final 53. Long snapper Zach Triner was the longest tenured player to be released. The only other cut veterans with previous experience in red and pewter were quarterback John Wolford and tight end David Wells.

While the Bucs will roster fewer undrafted rookies this year, cornerback Tyrek Funderburk and wide receiver Kameron Johnson made the initial cut. Overall, the 2024 roster resoundingly favors Tampa Bay’s drafted players. 36 players on the Bucs’ roster were drafted by Tampa Bay. Only two Bucs starters signed with the team as free agents: QB Baker Mayfield and guard Ben Bredeson.

There may be tweaks to the roster in the coming days as waived players from other rosters are claimed, though the Bucs are unlikely to make more than a move or two if any at all. The bigger next step for the Bucs front office is filling out the practice squad, which should be complete before the end of the week.

Bucs re-sign long snapper Zach Triner

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are bringing back yet another familiar face, re-signing long snapper Zach Triner

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are bringing back yet another familiar face, re-signing long snapper Zach Triner.

Here are the details on Triner from the team’s official release:

Triner has played in 75 regular season games for Tampa Bay since originally signing with the team in 2019, recording 10 special teams tackles. He was a member of the Super Bowl LV championship team and has appeared in all nine playoff games for the Buccaneers over the last four seasons.

The Marshfield, Massachusetts, native played collegiately at Assumption College. He wears No. 97 for the Buccaneers.

That’s one more player returning from last year’s Tampa Bay team that won the NFC South for the third straight year, and made a fourth consecutive playoff appearance.
