He was then grabbed by NFC South giants days afterwards, and has been with them ever since.
However, he was ejected from the Bucs 23-19 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday night.
The 25-year-old aimed a punch at rival tight end Zach Davidson.
He was immediately thrown out of the game by the officials, who were watching on.
It came midway through the second quarter of the clash.
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles called the ejection “inexcusable”.
And he has now said goodbye to Sanders after cutting him from his updated 53-man roster.
The news over his departure came on Sunday morning.
According to reports, the son of NFL icon Deion being kicked out of the Bills game could have been a factor.
Rosters have to be reduced down to 53-men by Tuesday, 26 September at 4pm ET.
Rookie Sanders always only had an outside shot of ever making that point.
He was listed as a third-string safety on the Bucs’ unofficial depth chart.
SunSport reported how his thrown punch on Saturday had put his NFL career in doubt.
And ESPN insider Adam Shefter confirmed the news.
