Welcome Back, Warrick Dunn!

In a move that surprised nobody, the Bucs signed former Buccaneer Warrick Dunn to a 2-year, $6 million deal. After being dropped by the Falcons, his team of 6 years, Dunn expressed interest in returning to the Bucs, or possibly joining the Colts. At the age of 33, Dunn could possibly end his career with the Bucs. A first-round pick by the Bucs in the 1997 Draft, Dunn rushed for 720 yards last season, and surpassed the 10,000 yard mark. A five-time 1,000 yard rusher, Dunn was a two-time Pro Bowler in his time spent with the Bucs. It’s great to have Warrick Dunn back, adding to the Bucs ever growing list of running backs.
The Bucs also picked up WR Antonio Bryant, who hasn’t played in the league since 2006, due to a suspension for substance abuse. The last thing the Bucs need is another troublemaker, but hopefully he can keep himself clean and make an impact for the Bucs.
