The Buccaneers have released wide receiver Louis Murphy, reports Adam Caplan of ESPN (via Twitter). The former University of Florida star was signed by the team earlier this offseason.
Murphy was a fourth-round pick of Oakland Raiders, where he had some success as a pass catcher. Murphy possessed top end speed coming out of college, but could never be a consistent contributor on an offense.
He also spent some time with the Giants and Panthers, before joining the Buccaneers in March.
