Bucs holding out hope on Crowell

Angelo Crowell still wears the buccaneers jersey.

The Bucs re-signed the veteran linebacker to a one-year contract today after he missed all last season with a torn biceps muscle suffered in preseason. Crowell had signed with Tampa Bay 12 months ago, getting a $1 million signing bonus in a one-year contract from new general manager Mark Dominik. No big deal, right? Well, Crowell was coming off knee surgery that had forced him to miss the entire 2008 season. Maybe Crowell will have a chance to make good on that signing bonus the second time around.

Tampa is desperate for help at the receiver position. Bradley is not considered dependable.
