There’s your Buccaneers roster at the conclusion of this 2016 pre-season Bucs fans. Rounding out the final 53 are kicker Roberto Aguayo, punter Bryan Anger and long-snapper Andrew DePaola.

There were some surprises for sure, and perhaps some disappointing moves in the eyes of fans, but at the end of the day this team is primed to make a run at the playoffs as they try to shake off the four consecutive losses which ended their 2015 hopes.

Keep it locked on to the Pewter Plank as we bring you more news and analysis of this roster and any moves upcoming as teams continue to shape their own teams.

Rarely do NFL franchises finish the year with the same 53 they start it with, so if you have a favorite you want to see storming Raymond James Stadium, don’t give up hope yet. In the meantime I hope you’ll join us all in congratulating these men on making the team, and wishing them many cannon fire filled games.

As we speak Jason Licht and his staff are assuredly working and re-working this roster as teams continue to make their own roster moves.

More analysis is still to come and you can join the conversation here or on twitter using the hastag #53bucs.
