Vaughn Gone?

Lets face it, Vaughn is only still on the team because he has a very low contract.  And that may not be for long.  He has an "unexcused" absence, and I am speculating that it has something to do with him being behind Tucker and Edmonds on the depth chart. What does that mean?  That probably means he'll be inactive on game day.  So no special teams, no nothing in his contract year.  It has to be frustrating for Vaughn, but that's life in the NFL.  Some didn't even make the final 53.  He needs a shot on another team, and he'll probably get it in short order.  I don't see him making it to the weekend.  

His dead cap hit is only about $250K, but does anybody know when a players annual salary is locked in?  Is it prior to the first game, or on cutdown day?

From what I see, his contract is not guaranteed, so if we cut him right now, we would save $1,210,986. If we cut him in season, it would be prorated based upon the amount of games he played. It is never locked in when not guaranteed. That's why Arians threatened to cut Fournette. He knew his contract wasn't guaranteed

Well in that case I doubt Vaughn makes it to Week 1.   If he's on his last year and he isn't going to play, why waste a roster spot on him?  You have Laird on the practice squad who is versatile.  I don't know what his personal issue is, but if its "unexcused" then it probably isn't a sick family member or something like that.  If you tolerate malcontents then that is a contagious disease.

If it gives the Bucs cap savings and they can call up a young RB from the PS then so be it at this point.

Remember when people said this was a good pick in the third fucking round? 

Licht reached on him too.

Dude had no moves.

Not really.  I remember most people saying it was a reach.  Turns out most people were right for a change.
