Connor Bazelak Released by Buccaneers as Roster Cuts Begin

Quarterback Connor Bazelak has been waived by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as part of the team's roster cuts ahead of the 53-player limit deadline.

Bazelak's release follows a preseason where he fell behind rookie Jalon Daniels, who started the final preseason game and competed for the backup quarterback position behind Baker Mayfield. Alongside Bazelak, the Buccaneers are also waiving several other players, including running back Barika Kpeenu and tight end Kenny Fletcher.
