The Athletic’s Dan Pompei believes Buccaneers CB Jamel Dean could be a potential cap casualty this offseason.
As Pompei points out, Dean’s $15.2 million cap hit ranks as the eighth-highest among all corners for next season. His production has never been that of a top corner, and now it may cost him a job in 2025. Dean’s release would free up $11.2 million in cap space for the Bucs, who currently have just north of $2.2 million in available cap heading into next season. Dean earned a 74.9 PFF coverage grade last season while picking off one pass and breaking up five more. He’ll turn 29 next season and could still have a solid market if he and the Bucs were to part ways in the coming weeks.
