A 2020 fifth-round pick, Johnson appeared in all 17 games last season with three starts. He caught 36 passes for 360 yards. He was on the field for 52 percent of the Bucs’ offensive snaps and 19 percent of special teams snaps.
As a rookie, Johnson caught 12 passes for 169 yards with two touchdowns.
The Buccaneers have Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Russell Gage, and Julio Jones at the top of their receiver depth chart.
Surprise, surprise. The #Buccaneers are cutting WR Tyler Johnson, per source. Had a good camp. Can play in this league.

Buccaneers’ release of Tyler Johnson, per a league source, is interesting, after a really strong preseason. He could help another team at wide receiver
