Pinion was released by the Buccaneers on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pinion's release may not come as a surprise, as Tampa Bay selected punter Jake Camarda in the fourth round of the 2022 Draft. Pinion averaged a career low 42.5 yards per attempt last season, but played through a torn hip labrum and impingement, which certainly could have contributed to his results. However, he did recently pass a physical and should be ready for next season as he works to find a new squad.
