WR Michael Clayon doesn’t think Bucs will dump him

Several months ago, the Bucs informed Michael Clayton of their plans to trade him, but there have been no takers. The receiver’s $3.5 million salary is guaranteed, but his spot on the roster is not. Then during Saturday night’s third preseason game, Clayton never left the bench against the Jaguars. After the game, he showered anyway. “Force of habit,” Clayton said. Whether his career in Tampa Bay is washed up remains to be seen. Clayton, 27, refuses to believe it is. – St. Petersburg Times
