Buccaneers Releasing QB Ryan Griffin

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are releasing QB Ryan Griffin on Tuesday as their cut their roster down to 53 players, according to Rick Stroud.

Griffin, 31, originally signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of Tulane. After two years, New Orleans waived Griffin and Tampa Bay claimed him in September 2015.

Since then, Griffin has spent each of the past six years in Tampa Bay, most recently finishing a two-year contract he signed in 2018. He returned to the Buccaneers this past April. 

Griffin didn’t appear in a game in 2020, and has only appeared in two games in his entire Buccaneers career. In 2019, he played in two games, completing two passes for 18 yards.
