Buccaneers Tried Out LB Corey Nelson

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers brought in LB Corey Nelson for a tryout on Monday, according to Howard Balzer.

This is the first reported interest in Nelson since the Eagles released him last week.

Nelson, 26, is a former seventh-round pick of the Broncos back in 2014. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2,268,600 contract and made a base salary of $690,000 for the 2017 season before signing one-year, $1.6 million contract with the Eagles this past March.

Unfortunately, the Eagles elected to release Nelson last week in a move that cleared $1 million of available cap space.

In 2017, Nelson appeared in five games for the Broncos and recorded four tackles and no sacks.
