Running back Bobby Rainey has signed his tender, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced. As a restricted free agent, he was tendered an offer worth $1.54 million with no draft pick compensation, the lowest amount a free agent can be tendered at.
Rainey's signing the tender really is just a formality. Other teams could have signed him to an offer sheet, but the window to do so closes today. So at this point, Rainey really had no choice but to sign his tender and resign himself to playing for the Bucs this season -- assuming he makes the roster, which is no guarantee.
