From Dan Parr of ProFootballWeekly.com:

Sources in Tampa say the groundwork for the Bucs to re-sign WR Antonio Bryant is being set and things appear to be headed in the right direction. There’s a mutual feeling between the parties that the soon-to-be free agent will be back with the team after a highly successful comeback year. After being out of the league in 2007, Bryant became Tampa Bay's top receiver, making 83 catches for 1,248 yards and seven touchdowns. Bryant, who is just entering his prime at the age of 27, won’t come cheap, but the Bucs are expected to have around $45 million in cap space this offseason and will do what it takes to get him re-signed. Tampa is very thin at receiver already. Fading veterans Joey Galloway and Ike Hilliard and the inexperienced Dexter Jackson are the only receivers known to be under contract for next season.

*National Football Post writer Andrew Brandt will be releasing his "Best & Worst Free Agent Signings" (of which Bryant is included) tomorrow afternoon.
