De'Vante Harris's third training camp in New Orleans ended far sooner than expected when he was waived after the first preseason game.

But Harris made good on his second chance.

After two seasons with the Saints, Harris will start his season in the Superdome again, only this time on the other sideline.

"When he came in here, he did a good job of competing every day," Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter said. "We went through a period in training camp where we were pretty beat-up at corner, so he got to jump right in and get some work."

Harris, who made 30 tackles over two seasons in New Orleans but struggled when he was given chances on defense, processed the disappointment of his release quickly

"He wasn't feeling sorry for himself," Koetter said.

Whether or not Harris is active on Sunday remains to be seen, but Harris did enough that the Buccaneers are keen to see what he can do in the future.

"That's what guys do in this league, it happens all the time," Koetter said. "Guys get a fresh start, and for one reason or another, maybe it just works out better. Maybe the Saints are deeper."

Hopefully, he starts because Payton definitely knows his weaknesses and he cost us two wins last year.

Damn near every player is competitive. Whether you suck or not is what keeps you from getting cut or making the team. I think the fact that he was cut spoke volumes...

Dude has all the potential in the world, he was cut because he has never lived up to it.
