Could the Buccaneers claim a former All-Big 12 cornerback off waivers?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could have a shot to strengthen their secondary this week, with an intriguing name now potentially available: Cornerback Cobee Bryant. The very decorated star of the University of Kansas was canceled by Atlanta during list cuts, leaving it in derogation and opening the door to interested suitors.

Bryant was one of the most convincing signatures not drafted in 2025. He won the first All – Big 12 honors team in Kansas for three consecutive seasons and compiled 13 career interceptions, 22 short -term and 128 plated in total in 47 games. Its instinct, its capacity to discharge balls and its athletics quickly caught the attention of the Falcons.

The scouts praised his aggressive style of play and his game game, signaling it as a likely UDFA to make the team. During the training of the Shrine Bowl and the project, he impressed by his length, his awareness and his ability to disturb the passes.

But despite his talent, Bryant was canceled before the Falcons set their final list of 53 men. The cup would have been from a lack of capacity, but from the time missed due to injuries and a difficult moment in the Atlanta pre-season final, where it was reported on a exchange game.

For Tampa Bay, Bryant could represent a high -level addition, especially as a plan of development nickel with special upward teams. His instincts and ball skills align with the need for depth and versatility of BUCs in secondary. However, a derogation pick-up would mean adding someone with a limited experience in the NFL, a bet that depends on other teams that transmit it.

If he is not claimed, he could dive into the Tampa system via the training team, offering a depth later in the season.
