Bucs Give Winslow 6 Year $36M Deal

Posted on April 7, 2009 by James W1 Comment

The Tampa Bay Bucs gave recently acquired pro bowl tight end Kellen Winslow a six year, $36 million deal according to the Tampa Tribune. The deal contains just over $20 million in guaranteed money but could be valued at as much as $42 million if Winslow meets all incentives.

Despite battling injuries for his entire career, the contract makes Winslow the highest paid tight end of all time, but at just 25 Winslow’s best years should still be ahead of him.  The Bucs have the most cap room in the league with the recent releases of some high profile veteran players.

Bucs Sign Linebacker Crowell

The Tampa Bay Bucs have signed former Bills linebacker Angelo Crowell to a one year deal and $3 million guaranteed. Crowell led the Bills with 126 tackles in 2007 but missed all of 2008 with a knee injury. Crowell helps fill the voids left by the cuts of linebackers Cato June and Derrick Brooks and is likely to see action at strong side linebacker.
