Bucs Make First Cuts

TAMPA - Former Lakeland High and University of South Florida defensive end Tim Jones was one of nine players released by the Bucs on Monday.

Tampa Bay had 86 players on its roster, but must trim that number to 75 by Tuesday. That means two more players will be cut on Tuesday.
Jones was a starting tight end at USF until injuries to the Bulls’ line in 2002 prompted the coaching staff to put him at defensive end. By his senior campaign, he was the starting left end, opening all 11 games and producing 48 tackles and 2.5 sacks.

Other players cut were WR Jovon Bouknight, G/C Jonathan Clinkscale, T Jabari Levey, C Nick Mihlhauser, WR Chad Owens, DE Jeremy Pittman, WR Kyle Smith and FB Zach Tuiasosopo.

Mihlhauser spent part of last season on Tampa Bay’s active roster after being signed on November 27, 2006. Bouknight, Clinkscale, Owens and Smith were signed by Tampa Bay on January 17. Jones was signed on July 31, Levey on July 2, Pittman on June 19 and Tuiasosopo on August 13.
