Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Michael Clayton is clearly on the bubble to make the team's final roster, reports Stephen Holder, of The St. Petersburg Times. Clayton did not play in the team's third preseason game. Clayton said he has full confidence he will remain with the team. His $3 million base salary is fully guaranteed, but the team would be willing to entertain trade offers for him. They could always opt to release him and eat the guaranteed money.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Michael Clayton is clearly on the bubble, according to Pat Yasinskas, of ESPN.com. Clayton has worked hard in camp and hasn't looked bad. However, he hasn't done anything special, and it would take several injuries for him to end up in a starting role. The question remains whether the team would want to keep Clayton as a No. 4, No. 5 or No. 6 wide receiver.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Maurice Stovall has emerged as the top option at the Z receiver position, reports Roy Cummings, of The Tampa Tribune. He has had a strong training camp so far and has the edge to be one of the team's starting receivers when the season begins. While he is the player to beat, WRs Michael Clayton and rookie Arrelious Benn are playing well enough to steal a starting job.

You know the best guy is going to play. Regardless of what happens, we keep a positive attitude. We're here to help each other to make sure this team is the best team possible when we go out on Sundays," Clayton said.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Michael Clayton is likely still on roster because the Buccaneers gave him a five-year, $24 million contract last year, reports Roy Cummings, of The Tampa Tribune. The Buccaneers still owe Clayton a lot of money, as his deal included $10.5 million in guaranteed payments. Next year, the contract is a little less onerous, so the chances of Clayton being cut increase. However, if he starts playing well that would change everything.

Rick Stroud, of the St. Petersburg Times, reports the Tampa Bay Buccaneers do not plan on making any decision on the future of WR Michael Clayton until after training camp. According to ProFootballWeekly.com, Clayton is due a $1 million deferred bonus March 15 and according to sources, the Buccaneers are close to releasing him. However, the deferred bonus is part of the $10 million in guarantees the team owes Clayton as part of the five-year, $24-million contract he signed in 2009. As a result, there is no roster bonus or new money that would quicken a decision by the team on Clayton.

"Stovall will continue to play, no matter if he's a starter or not," head coach Raheem Morris said. "Those guys started splitting reps because I think Michael Clayton is a better player when he plays less snaps because he plays so hard. He kind of has that (Panthers WR) Muhsin Muhammad mentality that he's going to block you every snap and go so hard that when you go to him in the clutch, he's tired."
