The Bucs hope to re-sign wide receiver Antonio Bryant before free agency begins on Feb. 27. Negotiations between the two sides are ongoing, but if a long-term deal cannot be worked out the Bucs are prepared to use their franchise tag on Bryant. Bryant, 27, caught a team-leading 83 passes for 1,248 yards (15.0 avg.) and seven touchdowns in his Bucs debut in 2008.
