Ross Cockrell released by Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that they have released CB Ross Cockrell.

Fantasy Impact: Cockrell has spent the past two seasons with the Buccaneers and was mainly used as a special teams player. Cockrell appeared in all 17 games for Tampa Bay last year and recorded 43 tackles, seven passes defended, and one forced fumble. The ninth-year pro will likely find himself on a roster near the start of the season because of his experience and special teams value.
