TAMPA, Fla. — Veteran left tackle Donovan Smith has been released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a cost-cutting move. The durable 2015 second-round draft pick started 124 regular-season and seven playoff games over eight seasons with the Bucs. They entered the offseason more than $58 million dollars over the NFL salary cap. Smith signed a two-year, $31.8 million contract extension in March 2021. Releasing him creates about $9.95 million in cap space.
