It appears as though Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Michael Clayton is safe for the time being.
There was a lot of talk that the Buccaneers were ready to give up on Clayton and release him.
However, it seems as though such talk is premature, at least until after the end of training camp.
The Bucs may keep Clayton on as nothing more than insurance should a wideout go down with an injury in camp.
The team would also lose out on a lot of money should they cut Clayton, who was given a five-year deal worth $24 million.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCoy with the No. 3 overall pick.
The Buccaneers are hopeful that McCoy can become the next Warren Sapp for their franchise.
Tampa Bay has been built on defense for more than a decade, but a lot of the players that were the backbone of that strong unit have lost a step or two.
The Bucs still think defense is the way to build a team and want to get back to being a top unit.
McCoy was considered the best player in the draft by some and a perfect fit for the Tampa 2 defense.
