The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are making room for their QB3.
Tampa Bay signed quarterback John Wolford to the active roster on Monday to avoid him being poached by the Los Angeles Rams, and that move had to come with a corresponding roster move. The Bucs made that move today, waiving veteran defensive tackle [autotag]Pat O’Connor[/autotag]. Should O’Connor go unclaimed on waivers, he can return to the Bucs practice squad after being signed back.
O’Connor was used frequently as a special teams player in prior years with the team, but he didn’t make the initial 53-man roster. He was elevated to the 53-man roster from the practice squad earlier in the year but has been a healthy scratch in Tampa Bay’s last three games.
