D'Cota Dixon: Waived Tuesday

Buccaneers' D'Cota Dixon: Needs another strong offseason
Dixon (shoulder) will compete for a starting role during training camp, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Dixon has yet to make his debut in the NFL, but he enjoyed a strong training camp as a rookie in 2019 prior to suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. Coach Bruce Arians said that Dixon was in the running for a starting gig when healthy, and he once again praised the Wisconsin product shortly after the conclusion of the 2019 campaign. He'll face strong competition from rookie second-round pick Antoine Winfield and veteran safety Andrew Adams, but Dixon should get another chance to compete for key reps when training camp officially kicks off. Should he underperform, on the other hand, Dixon may not even be guaranteed a spot on the 53-man roster.

Buccaneers' D'Cota Dixon: Could have shot at role in 2020
Coach Bruce Arians relayed that Dixon was in the running for the starting strong safety role before injuring his shoulder, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Dixon didn't have the opportunity to play a preseason game before injuring his shoulder, so there was no guarantee he would've secured that job or even a consistent reserve role. However, the fact that Arians dropped Dixon's name when asked about the safety situation means the boss hasn't forgotten about the undrafted rookie's promising training camp. Once Dixon is healthy, he'll likely compete for a starting role in 2020.
