Bengals Bryant is Now Official
Bengals make it official with Bryant
The Cincinnati Bengals announced the signings of wide receivers Antonio Bryant and Chris Davis Friday.
Terms of the contracts were not released, but Bryant's deal is believed to be for $28 million over four years,
according to a Cincinnati Enquirer report on Wednesday. The pact equals that of cast-off wideout Laveranues Coles,
whose contract was terminated last week after a single underwhelming season with the team.
It's unclear the terms involved in Davis' signing.
Bryant spent the past two seasons with Tampa Bay and fought through a knee injury in 2009 to catch 39 passes for
600 yards and four touchdowns over 13 games. In 2008, the eight-year veteran set career marks in nearly every
offensive category with 1,248 yards and seven TDs on 83 receptions.
Over 106 career games for the Bucs, 49ers (2006), Browns (2004-05) and Cowboys (2002-04), the Pittsburgh product
has amassed 5,685 yards, 30 touchdowns and 372 receptions.
Davis, a three-year NFL vet, was away from football in 2009 after reaching an injury settlement with Tennessee
prior to the season. The Florida State product has seven career receptions for 69 yards in 17 games, appearing
mostly on special teams.
In addition, he averaged 26 yards on six kickoff returns and 9.1 yards on 33 punt returns from 2007-08.
