Buccaneers | Team wants Alstott to return

Roy Cummings, of the Tampa Tribune, reports the Tampa Bay Buccaneers want FB Mike Alstott to return in 2006. The team needs Alstott to return. The vision the team once had of FB Rick Razzano replacing Alstott as their lead fullback has become a bit cloudy. In part because of his steroid-related four-game suspension, Razzano spent just four weeks on the active roster and just three weeks on the practice squad last year. As a result, the Buccaneers still aren't quite sure what they have in Razzano. Alstott doesn't expect to get the $3 million signing bonus and $2 million salary he's slated to receive, but he wants a respectable wage. A deal that guarantees he'll make a little more than the $1.5 million he earned last year probably would do the trick.
