Adjei-Barimah won't be tendered by the Buccaneers and will become a free agent, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adjei-Barimah missed the entire 2017 season with a knee injury but was just cleared by his surgeon to resume football activities this week. Only 25, the cornerback has starting experience dating back to 2015 and could attract the attention of several teams, if he can remain healthy throughout the offseason.

Adeji-Barimah (knee) was cleared by his surgeon Tuesday to return to full football activities, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. The cornerback isn't expected to face any limitations in Organized Team Activities this spring.

EDGE Analysis

Adjei-Barimah suffered a patellar fracture in his right knee during training camp in August that ultimately required surgery, ending his 2017 season before it even began. The cornerback was initially waived/injured after being diagnosed with the knee issue, but later reverted to the Buccaneers' injured reserve list after going unclaimed by the other 31 teams. A healthy Adjei-Barimah will be a restricted free agent when the new league year begins in mid-March, and there's a good chance the Buccaneers retain him after struggling to find quality depth options at cornerback last season.

Adjei-Barimah (knee) reverted to injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Adjei-Barimah, who's out four months with a patellar fracture in his right knee, had been waived Tuesday and reverts to IR upon clearing waivers.

Adjei-Barimah (knee) was waived/injured by Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Destined to miss a hefty majority of the 2017 season due to knee surgery, Adjei-Barimah is expected to clear waivers and revert to injured reserve. Going into his third season, he's been a role player on defense and a full-time special teams asset, so expect him to land somewhere when healthy.

Adjei-Barimah (knee) will undergo surgery Sunday, ESPN's Jenna Laine reports.

EDGE Analysis

Surgery is expected to sideline Adjei-Barimah around four months. While it's possible his season isn't over yet, the injured reserve list remains a real possibility.

Adjei-Barimah suffered a patellar fracture in his right knee and may undergo surgery that would rule him out for around four months, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adjei-Barimah suffered from the same injury last season and spent a good chunk of this offseason recovering from it, and now, surgery may be the only option for the cornerback. Surgery is not a guarantee, however, as Adjei-Barimah will seek out a second opinion before making a decision, and a timetable likely won't be established until then.

Adjei-Barimah suffered a patellar fracture in his right knee, ESPN's Jenna Laine reports.

EDGE Analysis

This development is a hefty blow to the Bucs' secondary, as Adjei-Barimah was expected to hold down the starting nickelback job in 2017. In his absence, Javien Elliott and Robert McClain will likely compete for that role.

Adjei-Barimah (knee) was sidelined from Wednesday's training camp practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adjei-Barimah is competing for the nickel corner spot he often manned last season, but Wednesday's developments could end up representing a significant setback. While the severity of ailment figures to be revealed by the additional tests that the 25-year-old was scheduled to undergo later Wednesday, it's worth noting that Adjei-Barimah missed multiple games with a knee injury last season as well.

Adjei-Barimah officially signed his one-year exclusive rights tender Monday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adjei-Barimah was originally tendered on Feb. 28 but didn't officially sign until Monday. The third-year corner logged 22 tackles, two sacks, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in 10 games in 2016 over 290 defensive snaps, and he added 95 additional plays on special teams. The 24-year-old is currently slotted as Brent Grimes' primary backup at right cornerback.

Adjei-Barimah was tendered to a one-year contract with the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Roy Cummings of FloridaFootballInsiders.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adjei-Barimah recored 22 tackles in 10 games last year, but was suspended for four games during the middle of the season after violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. He also missed some time at the tail-end of the season due to an undisclosed injury. When he was on the field, the 24-year-old served as Tampa's primary nickelback and could see an expanded role on the defense in 2017.
