3:56 p.m.: The Bucs are active right at the deadline.
Surprising move by the #Bucs as they are waiving starting OLB and former 2nd round pick Noah Spence. With JPP out for at least 6 weeks, look for Tampa to add to edge depth.

9:47 a.m: It seems Kiko Alonso leaving the Dolphins now is more of a “when,” not “if” scenario.
Kiko Alonso expects to move on from Miami this weekend, whether it's via trade or release. Would like a fresh start, and that's understandable, since Dolphins hadn't planned to use him as a three-down linebacker.
