Tyler Johnson Can't Survive Roster Cuts
2 years agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut wide receiver Tyler Johnson on Tuesday, according to a source. Johnson had a good training camp, but the Bucs just have too many capable bodies in the receiver room. The former fifth-rounder played in all 17 regular season games a year ago and caught 36 of his 55 targets for 360 yards. The 24-year-old has 48 receptions for 529 yards and two touchdowns on 72 targets in his two seasons with the Buccaneers, and he's a candidate to be picked up on waivers by another team. Had Tampa not picked up veteran wideout Julio Jones this summer, there's a good chance Johnson would have made the 53-man roster.
