Bucs Will Release DT Chris Hovan

The Bucs were reportedly shopping defensive lineman Chris Hovan over draft weekend. With no takers, he will be released, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.

Hovan’s release is no surprise once you look at the Bucs draft.

With their first two picks, they took DT Gerald McCoy and DT Brian Price. The writing was on the wall for Hovan ever since that point.

Hovan, 31, is a 10-year veteran. He was the Vikings first round pick back in 2000.

Another defensive tackle that was reportedly being shopped, Ryan Sims, will remain with the team for now.
