The Athletic's Dan Pompei singles out Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean as a potential salary cap casualty this offseason, mainly because his 2025 cap hit of $15.2 million ranks eighth-highest among all NFL cornerbacks. Tampa also is projected to have only $11.7 million in cap space, so they will certainly be looking to save money where they can. Dean will be 29 in October, has missed time due to injuries the last two years and has never really been a big-play producer or shutdown cornerback. Cutting him would leave the Bucs thin at the position, but it might be worth it. The former third-round selection in 2019 out of Auburn played in a career-low 12 games in 2024 due to hamstring and knee injuries and finished with 59 tackles (45 solo), one interception, seven pass breakups and one forced fumble. Dean picked off his first pass since the 2022 season.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
