Bucs bag Benn

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one of their potential rookie starters in the fold, as second-round draft pick Arrelious Benn has signed with the team.

PewterReport.com passes along the news that Benn signed a four-year contract with a $2.1 million signing bonus.

The Bucs traded up in the second round of the draft to take Benn, a receiver from Illinois, with the 39th pick in the draft. The 6-foot-1, 219-pound Benn has good speed and has a good chance of earning a starting job in training camp.

Tampa Bay now has two unsigned rookies: No. 3 overall pick Gerald McCoy and seventh-round choice Cody Grimm.
