Buccaneers Trying Out Five Veterans At Minicamp

According to Rick Stroud, the Buccaneers will try out five veterans at minicamp on Tuesday.

The players include WR Malachi Dupre, WR Nehari Crawford, WR Jamarius Way, OL Josh LeRibeus and OT Cyrus Kouandjio. 

Dupre, 23, is a former seventh-round pick of the Packers back in 2017. He was, unfortunately, cut loose coming out of the preseason by Green Bay.

The Bills later signed Dupre to their practice squad before eventually promoting him to their active roster towards the end of the season. Buffalo waived him this past September and he had brief stints on the Texans, Seahawks and Cardinal’s practice squads this year. 

Dupre was activated for one game with the Cardinals in 2018, but did not record a stat. He was waived by Arizona earlier this offseason.

During his college career at LSU, Dupre caught 98 passes for 1,609 yards receiving and 14 touchdowns over the course of 31 games.

Kouandjio, 25, is a former second-round pick of the Bills back in 2014. He was in the final year of his four-year, $4.808 million rookie contract when the Bills waived him a few weeks after the 2017 draft.

The Lions signed him to a contract before cutting him loose coming out of the preseason. Denver signed him in November only to release him at the start of the 2018 regular season.

Kouandjio returned to the Broncos later that year, but was released again near the end of the season.

In 2017, Kouandjio appeared in three games for the Broncos.
