The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could walk away from Darrelle Revis to save $16 million in both cash and cap space for 2014.

Revis was acquired by the previous regime in a trade with the New York Jets.

By parting ways with Revis, the Buccaneers could avoid upgrading the final piece of the trade from a top-10 fourth round pick in 2014 to a top-10 third round pick.

Revis is a man-to-man coverage specialist and doesn't fit the traditional duties of a cornerback in the Tampa Two.
