Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that free agent running back Warrick Dunn has reached an agreement on a two-year, $6 million contract to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.



Dunn spent the first five seasons of his NFL career playing for Tampa Bay, where he was the featured runner throughout his tenure and twice ran for more than 1,000 yards in a season. He left for Atlanta as a free agent and has spent his last six seasons with the Falcons before they released him last week.

Dunn is a good guy who has been a good player for several years, but $3 million a year, including $2 million guaranteed, is more than he's worth at this point. As Schefter notes, Dunn is the oldest running back in the league, and he averaged just 3.2 yards a carry last season. If the Bucs want him around because he adds good character and a good veteran presence in the locker room, fine. But $3 million is a lot to pay for that.

Glad to see him going home...but yeah, $3 mil at this stage a bit much...I like the man, but lets get real, he had lanes to run in Atlanta because Michael Vick opened up the running attack with his versitility.

Yeah, that's a boatload of money for a RB who's that old, especially for a team that already has a ton of them on the roster.

Good signing, dumb contract.

I always think of him as a Buccaneer anyway. He never looked right in an Atlanta uniform. Hopefully, he can put together a couple good years to make the money worth it.

Though he has some fine years in Atlanta and one year for the Bucs the line was so bad he average 2.8 yards a carry I think???
