TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed running back Giovani Bernard to a one-year deal, a source told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.
The deal is for the veteran salary benefit (VSB), which for Bernard's nine years of league service, comes out to $1.12 million, plus a $152,500 signing bonus, a source told ESPN, while the salary cap hit comes just below $1.05 million.
Bernard played on a one-year deal with the Bucs last year as well, serving as their third-down back. In 12 games, Bernard rushed for 58 yards on eight carries, but contributed 23 receptions for 123 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
