Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cut Second Year Wide Receiver

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been dealing with a mountain of injuries thus far in 2022, but they've managed to stay at 6-6 with a lead in the NFC South, and with Tom Brady at Quarterback, no one should be doubting this veteran team as they march toward the playoffs.

Unfortunately, one player that won't be a part of that march is second year wide receiver/return man Jaelon Darden, as the 2021 fourth-round pick was officially cut yesterday, and given his talents as a receiver and a return man, he should draw plenty of interest on the waiver wire.

Thus far in his NFL career, Darden has racked up just 8 catches for 69 yards, but has almost 700 return yards, but unfortunately, that just wasn't enough for this deep and talented Buccaneers roster, so hopefully he can find a home on the waiver wire and continue to build on what is a very promising NFL career.
