Bryant Clears The Air

From Scott Reynolds of the PewterReport.com:

Although the one-year contract guarantees Bryant $9.88 million, he indicated some unhappiness during the offseason over not having a shot at free agency where he could have landed a more lucrative, long-term contract from Tampa Bay or elsewhere. But on Tuesday, the first day of the Buccaneers’ initial mini-camp of 2009, Bryant stated that he wasn’t unhappy about being franchised – just about not having a long-term deal.

“I’m not unhappy about being a franchise player. That’s not it – just an overall picture, but I’m past that,” Bryant said. “If you ask me, I’ll tell you the truth. I’m not a sugar-coated person. I’m not going to lie to you. At the end of the day, of course I’m happy to be here. This is what I like to do. I could have been back home on the couch again. Do you know what I’m saying? I’m not complaining about that. But for my situation and my lane in life, and what is going on in my lane, there were better options and better situations I could have had myself in. But that’s over. That’s why I’m here, so you all can’t go and report, ‘Antonio Bryant didn’t show up today.’ I did my part.”
