The Buccaneers 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 will consider using their franchise tag on Bryant. RealGM Note: Bryant was ranked eighth among all wide receivers in FIC for the 2008 season. He 'deserved' to make $6.76 million, well over his $611k cap number, which gave him an excellent Reina Value of +1,007%. He ranked ahead of players such as Wes Welker, Reggie Wayne, and Terrell Owens.
