Chad Owens Released

Good luck to Mighty Mouse.

Five NFL Europa alumni and return man Chad Owens were among the nine players released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday afternoon.

“It’s always hard, but you’ve got to do it,” said Head Coach Jon Gruden. “You’ve got to reduce your roster when it’s time to reduce your roster. We’ve made some tough decisions today, and it doesn’t mean that these guys’ careers are over. I think there’s a chance some might come back; some might move on elsewhere. But it’s always tough. You spend a lot of time with these guys, and you want them to do well.”
