Tampa Bay Buccaneers release guard Davin Joseph

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announce that they have released veteran offensive lineman Davin Joseph after eight seasons with the club.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have confirmed that they have released offensive lineman Davin Joseph.

The club chose to release the 30-year-old to save $6m (£3.5m) against the salary cap, despite him featuring in every game for the Bucs during the 2013 season.

"Decisions like this are never easy when it comes to parting ways with players such as Davin," Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht told the club's official website.

"We thank Davin for his contributions on and off the field during his eight years in Tampa Bay and we wish him well in the future.

"Every decision we make during this time leading up to free agency is with the intention of improving our roster and building towards becoming a championship team once again."

Joseph was selected 23rd overall by the Buccaneers in the 2006 Draft.
