Randy Gregory’s time with the Buccaneers is over before it even began as he and the team an agreement has been reached which will see him released this week after he failed to show up for training camp or other offseason work despite signing a contract with the team. Bucs coach Todd Bowles still doesn’t know what happened.
Bowles told reporters today that he has never been given an explanation as to why Gregory did not join the team and that he does not think he ever will.
“I’ll never know“But I wish him the best and we’ll move on,” Bowles said, via ESPN. “You can’t miss what you never had.”
Bowles said he’s not concerned about the depth at the outside linebacker position, where Gregory would play.
“The outside back position on defense probably has the most depth of any position there, so we’re really pleased with the guys that we have playing and supporting them right now. And guys that could potentially make the team,” Bowles said.
That depth may be tested this year, but Bowles isn’t stressing the loss of a player who was never really on the team.
