Antonio Bryant signed a one-year tender worth $9.88 million with the Buccaneers just before the free-agency signing period began early Friday morning.
The tender came with the franchise tag that Tampa Bay placed on the wide receiver.
"There was no question that I wanted to be back next year and you never really know what's out there for you anyway," Bryant said. "I didn't feel like I needed all those ups and downs, so I signed."
The Buccaneers now have a full year to negotiate a long-term deal with Bryant.
