Logan Ryan Cut
August 30th, 2022
Ex-Bucs DB Logan Ryan.
This blows Joe’s mind!
Aside from Antoine Winfield, no defensive back had a better camp than Logan Ryan, the veteran cerebral leader (in one Joe’s opinion). Yet the Bucs bounced him today.
Huh???
Joe is beginning to wonder if camp means anything any longer. Dudes take off for 11 days to go to the Bahamas and practice like they never left; guys that ball out in camp like Tyler Johnson and Ryan get bounced.
There could be a method to the madness here. Given Ryan’s vested playing time he is not subjected to waivers. So he can sign with anyone.
Could Bucs AC/DC-loving GM Jason Licht have a handshake deal with Ryan to bring him back tomorrow after Ryan Jensen goes on IR?
Really, really a head scratcher here.
Whatever has or has not been arranged, exposing a player always comes at the risk that someone calls him up and offers him an extra $1 or 2 million to spend the next five months on their team.

Maybe they’ll sign him back
August 30th, 2022 at 1:29 pm
Now this blows my mind. I agree with Joe, I hope there’s some kind of deal in place to bring him back after the roster is set.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:30 pm
To your question, yes.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:30 pm
Relax JoeBucsFan… he was cut so they can bring him back Wednesday because he won’t have to go through waivers
August 30th, 2022 at 1:30 pm
Just a quick roster move. He’ll be back after they get Ryan Jensen on short term IR.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:30 pm
It is being widely speculated that Logan will be signed back as soon as Jensen is put on IR. His release being a bit of roster manipulation to leave open the possibility Jensen could come back during the playoffs.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:31 pm
Joe is spot on! Camp meant nothing. The WR competition was a total farce! Perriman didn’t even participate because he was injured, and Miller didn’t impress. Tyler Johnson, on the other hand, had a great practice. Evans spoke glowingly about him. This won’t go over well in the locker room
August 30th, 2022 at 1:31 pm
Since he is not subject to waivers this is a roster move to get Jensen on short term or but he has to be on 53 man roster. He will be resigned tomorrow I can almost guarantee it.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:31 pm
If not this is ridiculous.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:32 pm
After Jensen goes on IR
He’ll return… guess
August 30th, 2022 at 1:32 pm
This is one I did NOT see coming. From all previous accounts, it seemed Ryan was actually a stellar addition to our young secondary. WOW – I thought he was going to help this year.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:33 pm
Tyler Johnson and now this ??????
August 30th, 2022 at 1:33 pm
please tell me he returns whenjensen goes ir
August 30th, 2022 at 1:33 pm
Greg explained the move on Twitter he will be back tomorrow.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:35 pm
Captain obvious can confirm Joe, that’s what the Bucs are up to. I must admit I was at first shocked to see the headline, but now I see the method to the madness.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:35 pm
El Blundo is on the job. I hope Dallas goes well. It will be the tell for the season.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:36 pm
He’ll be back after Jensen is placed on IR, this was the veteran cut that needed to happen to make the move on Jensen. Also, makes sense because we’re not on the hook for Ryans’ salary this year iirc, but he should be back tomorrow or by week’s end
August 30th, 2022 at 1:37 pm
That has to be the answer. No way they can play with the same pitiful secondary they have been. Something has to change there and be upgraded.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:40 pm
No way he was cut outright………..he has a guaranteed salary and can play multiple positions…..is a leader in the secondary… no way they would cut him..
August 30th, 2022 at 1:40 pm
If Neal made the roster, it would make zero sense for Ryan not to. Hoping to see him back on the team tomorrow.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:41 pm
Joe, I have been reading your articles for years. In my opinion, while you are fun at at times, other times you are borderline insulting.You seem like a condescending smart a…you need humble pie sooner rather than later.
Whaaatt? –Joe
It is great when you stay off your condescending insulting comments about Brady, it takes away from whatever it is you are trying to do. Joe loves Tom Brady. Greatest QB in Bucs history and Joe has advocated the Bucs offer him $50-plus million to play next season.–Joe As a Bucs fan, I am getting tired of it. Sure, you will keep your readers who love the your approach, but you can do better I think. Peace.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:41 pm
Because of his tenure, he is the only type of player that can’t be picked up by another team unless he wishes….he’ll be back.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:42 pm
As I posted earlier, bear in mind that Ryan’s a vet, so he’s been released and not waived. That means no team can claim him. I think the release means that the Bucs are trying to create some room on their 53 man roster to claim a couple of waiver wire players. After they claim them, the Bucs can simply waive or release another player, and re-sign Logan Ryan.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:42 pm
You scratch your head, yet mention exactly what’s probably going to happen. This is the exact move you make in this situation. Cut a vet who won’t hit waivers so you can roster Jensen, then re-sign Ryan as soon as Jensen hits the PUP list.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:43 pm
He’ll be back tomorrow after jesen goes on ir relax
August 30th, 2022 at 1:43 pm
JOE says,
“Could Bucs AC/DC-loving GM Jason Licht have a handshake deal with Ryan to bring him back tomorrow after Ryan Jensen goes on IR?”
____________________
I think you are spot on, JOE. – At least I hope so.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:45 pm
wat?
August 30th, 2022 at 1:48 pm
Is grover “the realist”?
August 30th, 2022 at 1:48 pm
Yeah, he will be back tomorrow, only explanation
August 30th, 2022 at 1:49 pm
or is that Pablo?
August 30th, 2022 at 1:49 pm
I’m confused lol
August 30th, 2022 at 1:50 pm
Another solid player cut that doesn’t play special teams. I bet Joe is right – they will bring him back after Jenson goes on IR.
It’s tough for a reserve player (especially a safety) to make an NFL roster without playing special teams.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:50 pm
Belichick did this all the time. I think and hope it’s just roster finagling. If the bucs secondary needs anything, it’s experience and knowledge of proper alignment. Ryan is exactly that guy. If he doesn’t come back, expect many of the same mistakes back there. Really hope he comes back.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:50 pm
Surely he’ll be back tomorrow
August 30th, 2022 at 1:51 pm
Ed, ya mad bruh??
August 30th, 2022 at 1:52 pm
Seems like a dangerous game. What if the Bucs can’t bring Ryan back because another team makes a better offer?
August 30th, 2022 at 1:53 pm
Have to think he ll probably be back. But to your point that camp performance doenst matter sometimes there is the Johnson cut. He was really showing improvement and Perriman didnt even practice. Even Thompkins vs Darden. These are buffling
August 30th, 2022 at 1:53 pm
My earlier comment was of the “O crap, how can this be?” reaction. After reading many of you fine fan commenters, I’m not freaking as much.
I hope he gets back on the roster soon, and this move was just maneuvering for roster spots.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:59 pm
Calm down Ed.
August 30th, 2022 at 1:59 pm
Noticed on IG, Tyler Johnson was recently posting stuff about worshipping the universe .. Guess it didn’t work out to well for him lol. Ed was his fortune teller and TJ called him for a refund today .. So, Ed is unhappy and taking it out on Joe. Ya can’t make this stuff up lol
August 30th, 2022 at 2:00 pm
Steve Christy had a “handshake “ deal like this in 1992. Then left for Buffalo where he had a stellar career. I’m not saying Ryan has plans to go elsewhere but I remember the Bucs had egg on their face for losing a player that would have been under contract for at least 1 more year.
August 30th, 2022 at 2:01 pm
*too. Poor Ed
August 30th, 2022 at 2:01 pm
Belichick cut Butler and offer to Ryan $1.5 mil more than Bucs paying. Nice play, bye bye!
August 30th, 2022 at 2:02 pm
Football is a game of chess and Joe is analyzing with a checkers like mind…
August 30th, 2022 at 2:02 pm
Why not cut Darden? Less risk. Its not like he would have been picked up by any sensible GM.
August 30th, 2022 at 2:03 pm
Keanu Neal > Logan Ryan.
Zyon McCollum anyone!!!
August 30th, 2022 at 2:05 pm
Why not Darden. IDK, cause he is in his second year and has track record of improving and being a dynamic offensive threat vs an often-injured old vet Safty
August 30th, 2022 at 2:07 pm
He’ll be back tomorrow after Jensen goes on IR… Just thought I’d type this too, since EIGHTEEN ‘Other People’ felt the need to so. It’s like…
August 30th, 2022 at 2:08 pm
Smart move….. if it works.

Ah, yes. Not the same situation but very close. Back then NFL teams were allowed to ‘protect’ 37 players every year from becoming free agents, and those not protected became “Plan B” free agents. Ronnie Lott and Roger Craig were left unprotected by the 49ers as SF assumed they would stay…then they took off for Oakland.
And yes, Steve Christie agreed that he would stay in Tampa, then booked for Buffalo.
August 30th, 2022 at 2:11 pm
Oh and yall are sleeping on Nolan Turner.
Just saying, he may not make the team, but dude is a baller and will play STs
August 30th, 2022 at 2:12 pm
I watched a 30 minute interview with Casey Phillips put out yesterday. He’s going no where. But I also said that no doubt TJ was going to be number five so….
August 30th, 2022 at 2:16 pm
So much for veteran leadership in the secondary!!!!
August 30th, 2022 at 2:18 pm
Sounds like roster manipulation but boy was i hoping this was a sneak peak into the todd bowles era. I kind of miss the good ole days
August 30th, 2022 at 2:18 pm
IDK, AW and Edwards are pretty good vet leaders. Along with Neal.
You people just like to cry cause it feels good. I dont know what else it could be with yall.
August 30th, 2022 at 2:21 pm
When do we sign that one veteran starting caliber interior lineman that has one more year in him ?
August 30th, 2022 at 2:22 pm
Crackwise
Just to let you know, vets are considered usually after first four years. AW and ME are neither.
August 30th, 2022 at 2:23 pm
Consider why TJ got cut. He had guys in front of him that did what he does and better than him. Same size and everything.
Ryan is in that same boat. Plus he is 31.
If he comes back, great.
BUT we have two other young ROOKIE ball hawks to consider.
Just saying. Either way. This is one of those tough cuts that we all knew was coming.
August 30th, 2022 at 2:26 pm
SOEbuc,
I agree, UNLESS. They have started and won playoff games and a Superbowl.
PS, Edwards is in his 4 year and AWs dad was a Pro Bowler in the NFL.
So, I mean you know.
August 30th, 2022 at 2:28 pm
He got cut by the Giants, who had a terrible defense — it’s not exactly like we’re talking about John Lynch here.
With that said, I think it’s very likely a handshake deal as Joe said, that makes a ton of sense and happens with vets that teams really trust.
We’ll see.
August 30th, 2022 at 2:30 pm
Bro who is this 55 99 47 dude? Imitation is the greatest form of flattery I suppose!
It’s about time I updated mine for griese, Amish Rifle, Brady, Evans, maaaaybe one or two others.
August 30th, 2022 at 2:41 pm
LR
Will be back!
He was featured on the Bucs YouTube channel promoting his animal shelter thingee
August 30th, 2022 at 2:45 pm
Appears the jensen move confirmed and he will be back at practice tomorrow
August 30th, 2022 at 2:47 pm
more confusion???
August 30th, 2022 at 2:48 pm
Raiders released Alex Leatherwood ok Licht pick him up.
August 30th, 2022 at 3:01 pm
At 99 97 19 18 17 16 15 -40 ….
What’s up slick. Uhhh, noticed you played off my name couple weeks ago, but have it your way … Idc
Ya 4got 63, and 12, and 54, and many more.
Get a life ya silly boi lol
You might as well just change to 99-1
August 30th, 2022 at 3:04 pm
Leatherwood is versatile: He sucks badly at both OT and OG.
August 30th, 2022 at 3:11 pm
@PassingThru
and especially terrible in pass pro
August 30th, 2022 at 3:12 pm
Who the heck is El Blundo?
August 30th, 2022 at 3:19 pm
I imagine he will be back because he’s very smart and a great leader. As for his play in preseason games that we saw, it seemed very average. Regardless, I can’t imagine he’s not signed back tomorrow
August 30th, 2022 at 3:43 pm
Uh, isn’t El Blundo a soccer star for Real Madrid or something?
August 30th, 2022 at 3:53 pm
He’ll be back. He wants to be in Tampa and they want him here, so no worries.
August 30th, 2022 at 4:06 pm
Maybe Licht is working out a trade with SF for Lynch.😃
August 30th, 2022 at 4:09 pm
They let Borregales go so they can sign Aguayo to put with Succop.🙄
August 30th, 2022 at 4:12 pm
@Dooley
Amen. And to think, Leatherwood was an Outland Trophy winner.
August 30th, 2022 at 4:14 pm
Nice picture of Ryan. Hope you are able to keep using it. I hate to think they really released him for good.
August 30th, 2022 at 4:14 pm
I’d definitely consider trading for a reliable OL now. The whole OL is dropping & they need to protect Brady because he won’t be playing much longer & it definitely won’t help if they don’t give him much protection now. With the way the OL is dropping right now I just hope Brady can make it the whole year.
August 30th, 2022 at 4:18 pm
If Licht is a big fan of AC/DC I’m kind of wondering if he’s been living on HAVE A DRINK ON ME. DIZZY DRUNK & FIGHTING TEQUILA WHITE LIGHTNING! He might be hitting a little too much of them.
August 30th, 2022 at 4:35 pm
If he is not brought back, this will be the stupidest move of the season, possibly of the past three seasons. Leadership, experience, brains of the secondary. Without him, the defense will absolutely suck, back to disarray again.
If this decapitation is purely for roster manipulation, it is still a bad look in any case. Smacks of desperation. There is plenty of other dead wood on the roster, but they remove a leader.
Might as well release Brady while they’re at it.
August 30th, 2022 at 4:35 pm
They are re signing him tomorrow after Jensen goes to IR. There’s no way in hell they cut him. He is the guy who is going to turn this secondary around!
August 30th, 2022 at 4:43 pm
For those assuming that Ryan will be back, “of course” it’s for something to do with Jensen, “of course”. How do we know. We don’t. Considering how clumsily and mysteriously they’ve addressed everything this year, don’t assume genius here. Lower your expectations.
This is team is Brady increasingly isolated, “in-house options”, and a total coaching question mark at the top.
August 30th, 2022 at 5:16 pm
To cut your 1st round pick a year later must hurt….and his salary is fully guaranteed….about $8 mil this year…
That will help send him through waivers…..but I’d pass…..
August 30th, 2022 at 5:16 pm
Leatherwood is who I was mentioning.
August 30th, 2022 at 5:21 pm
Leatherwood. Who made the call on that draft pick? Might’ve been the same guy who decimated our roster in the 2000’s and never had a decent draft in Tampa. #MostOverratedCoachInHistory
August 30th, 2022 at 5:30 pm
Mayock, who was probably following Chucky’s orders.
August 30th, 2022 at 6:14 pm
Alex Westherwood, just waived by Raiders.
August 30th, 2022 at 6:19 pm
Steele what are you babling about.
August 30th, 2022 at 7:50 pm
Yeah Joe…..it’s not just ” Guys” taking off 11 days….it’s the best ever to do it named a Tom Brady….so what now Joe…back to the golf cart????
August 30th, 2022 at 8:58 pm
WTH!?! They just picked em up, they’ve drop a few i didnt think they would. Johnson/Sterns looks phenomenal! Someone big must be coming in that they are making room for, Gronk/Edelman possibly? I’d hope so that would be EPIC!
