The Tampa Bay Buccaneers to release linebacker Shelton Quarles
The Buccaneers are about to release Shelton Quarles because of a failed physical. The real reason he’s getting cut is because he was due a roster bonus soon and the Bucs didn’t want to pay it. Quarles played in 12 games for the Bucs last season and he made 104 tackles, had 2.5 sacks, defensed 3 passes and forced 2 fumbles. Quarles has played with the Bucs his whole 10 year NFL career and he’s put up some impressive numbers. He has played in 148 games and he has made 737 tackles, had 13 sacks, 4 interceptions that he returned for 132 yards…two for TDs, defensed 18 passes, forced 7 fumbles and recovered 8 fumbles. Quarles was one of the best defensive players the Bucs have ever had and it’s sad to see him treated this way at the end of his career.
