Buccaneers wave white flag on 2013 second-rounder Johnthan Banks

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived cornerback Johnthan Banks.

What It Means:

Banks has been buried on the depth chart under new defensive coordinator Mike Smith this season. The high draft pedigree could earn the Mississippi State product another shot elsewhere, but his days in the NFL are likely numbered.

Derek Carr pasted Tampa Bay's secondary for 513 yards and four touchdowns on 59 passing attempts in Week 8, finishing with 19.12 Net Expected Points, per numberFire Live.
