The Facts: Troupe, a one-time second-round pick of the Titans who signed with the Bucs as a free agent earlier this year, has been cut by the team.
Diehards Line:Troupe's departure clears a spot for tight end Jerramy Stevens, who was suspended two games arising from a DUI arrest and conviction in 2007. Stevens said he spent the past two weeks working out at the team's facilities. He was not allowed to practice with the team or attend meetings, but he said he is ready to play.
