PFT has confirmed multiple reports that the Bucs have released McCown. (The Bucs also have announced the move.)
Last year, McCown signed a two-year, $10 million deal, after putting together some very good performances as the backup to Jay Cutler in Chicago.
McCown, who started 11 games in 2014, immediately becomes a free agent, and he can sign with any other team immediately. It beefs up an otherwise week class of 2015 free agents, and it could spark a land rush among quarterback-needy teams like the Jets, Browns, and Bills.
