Vinny Curry is now on the open market. The Buccaneers released the veteran defensive end on Tuesday, according to a team announcement. 
Curry earned $6.5MM with the Bucs in 2018 after signing a three-year, $23MM deal with the club. Apparently, new head coach Bruce Arians did not see him as a fit for his system, so he’s a free agent once again.
The good news for Curry is that pass rushers are continually in high demand, so he’ll have an opportunity to land another multi-year deal. His 21 tackles, 2.5 sacks, seven quarterback hits, and five tackles for loss don’t exactly jump off of the page, but Curry’s 2017 season with the Eagles showed serious promise. After serving as a reserve in his first five seasons with Philly, he was promoted to the starting lineup that year and helped the Eagles capture a Super Bowl ring.
All in all, the Buccaneers improved from a league-low 22 sacks in 2017 to 38 last year, thanks in part to Carl Nassib‘s 6.5 QB takedowns. They’ll look to improve that number even more under Arians.
I could see the Rams picking him up with all of the players on 1 year deals that they’re going to lose.
As a Browns fan it made me happy to see Carl so well in Tampa. Even if he doesn’t understand how to calculate interest.
Do well in Tampa *
I remember wondering if the Browns had made a mistake when they waived Nassib. The guy’s motor never stops.
I want to invest with him! He’s better than Bernie Madoff !
He should consider retirement. Got paid. Got a ring. Still healthy. Walk away, no regrets.
