Former Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount
USA Today is reporting that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers re-signed running back LeGarrette Blount
this week. It's something of a surprise move given that the former Duck had slipped behind rookie RB Doug Martin on the Buccaneers' roster.
Some sources, including ESPN, are suggesting it could be a way to include Blount in a possible trade.
In the USA Today report, Mike Garafolo says that per NFL Players Association records, Blount received a base salary of
$1.25 million as well as $500,000 in other compensation this offseason.
Blount had 41 carries for 151 rushing yards and two touchdowns for Tampa Bay in 2012.
