The former first-round pick (11th overall in
2016) was waived by the Bucs on Tuesday, two days after he was
benched for what head coach Bruce Arians deemed a lack of hustle
on a long catch-and-run by the Arizona Cardinals.
Hagreaves, 24, led all Buccaneers cornerbacks in defensive snaps
(582, 92.2 percent) this season before being let go. He had four
pass breakups and one interception -- returned for a touchdown
-- in nine games, all starts.
A Florida product in his fourth season, Hargreaves battled
injuries the last two seasons, being limited to 10 total games
(eight starts) from 2017-18. In 35 career games (33 starts), he
has 19 pass breakups and two interceptions.
In the spring, the Buccaneers picked up Hargreaves' fifth-year
option on his rookie contract, which would be worth $9.954
million in 2020. That remains intact, although the money is
guaranteed only for injury.
Houston released cornerback Briean Boddy-Calhoun to make room on
the roster. The 26-year-old played in one game for the club and
had a sack and forced fumble.
The Texans have been in flux at the cornerback position much of
the season.
They released slot man Aaron Colvin in September after just one
game in his second year of a four-year, $34 million contract.
Starter Bradley Roby hasn't played since Week 6 due to a
hamstring injury, and the team traded a third-round pick to
Oakland in October for Gareon Conley, who has started both games
since arriving in Houston.
