We now know what Jermaine Phillips and Jerramy Stevens will be making over the course of their contracts. Bonuses weren't revealed yet, but Phillips signed a 1-year deal for $1.25 million and Stevens inked for 2 years at $1.265 million in 2009 and $1.425 in 2010.
Only giving Phillips a 1-year deal is very interesting, but the Bucs are apparently wary of his injury history. They may also feel Sabby will be ready after another year of preparation.
Stevens 2-year deal indicates that both him and Winslow are locks, while either Alex Smith or John Gilmore could find themselves suiting up elsewhere when the season rolls around.

Thanks for the report.
I am OK with a 1 year deal for Phillips. If he proves he can stay healthy again this year and plays as well as he did Last, he will see the money. Plus, SINCE we could we can get him for cheap this year, I am all about that. Kind of surprising. I thought a team would offer him around 3 mil a year. I wonder if he took a “hometown discount” (That phrase is admittedly getting old.)
Not sure how Stevens deserved more money that JP did, but oh well.

Rumors are...
…Phillips wasn’t offered what he was looking for on the open market so opted for the 1-year so he can try again next year.
