The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking to trade right tackle Anthony Collins, a year after signing him to a five-year, $30-million contract according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport

If they can't find a trade partner, the Buccaneers are expected to cut him. 

Collins failed to live up to lofty expectations placed on him when he left the Cincinnati Bengals to join the Buccaneers last summer. 

In his lone season in Tampa Bay, Collins surrendered 14 quarterback hits, per Pro Football Focus. Tampa Bay will release Collins if he's not traded, according to Rapoport. 

The Buccaneers sputtered to a league-worst 2-14 record and hold the first overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
