TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Buccaneers have agreed on a $52 million, four-year deal to keep cornerback Jamel Dean in Tampa Bay, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.

Dean will receive $26 million guaranteed over the first two years of the deal.

The 26-year-old has started 38 games in four seasons and was a key part of the secondary on Tampa Bay’s Super Bowl championship team in the 2020 season.

The Buccaneers cleared salary cap room last week by releasing left tackle Donovan Smith, running back Leonard Fournette and tight end Cameron Brate.

Dean has seven interceptions and 41 pass breakups in 57 games.
