Buccaneers Expected To Release Cameron Brate
2 years agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to release tight end Cameron Brate in the coming days, according to a source. Brate has played nine seasons in Tampa and has a salary cap hit of around $5 million. He had a good run with the team in his nine seasons with 273 catches on 422 targets for 2,857 yards and 33 touchdowns, but he had only 20 receptions for 174 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games for the team in 2022. The 31-year-old's release will clear $2.03 million this year and will leave behind $2.955 million in dead money. Unless Rob Gronkowski comes out of retirement to rejoin the team, which is highly unlikely now that quarterback Tom Brady is retired, the Bucs figure to roll with impressive youngster Cade Otton as their primary pass-catching tight end in 2023.
