The Bucs must reduce the roster by a minimum of five players today as the league requires teams to trim down to 75 players by the end of business.

There aren't likely to be any big names in this group, that is unless the Bucs have already their minds made up about a veteran player and want to do him a favor by letting him hit the market before Saturday's bigger wave of cuts. That's when teams will go from 75 to 53, a much deeper cut.

There are enough fringe players on the roster to allow the Bucs to reach the new limit without making tough decisions. If there are any surprises, we'll let you know as soon as we hear.
