Antonio Brown is staying in Tampa Bay.

The Buccaneers signed the veteran wide receiver to a one-year deal worth up to $6.25 million on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The contract includes $3.1 million guaranteed and a $2 million signing bonus.

Antonio Brown’s one-year deal with the #Bucs is worth up to $6.25 million with $3.1M fully guaranteed, including a $2M signing bonus, per his agent @ed_waz of @EMGSportsAgents.

A nice payday for the seven-time Pro Bowl WR -- and a chance to help Tampa Bay go for two.

The Bucs were expected to re-sign Brown after his civil dispute with Britney Taylor, the woman who accused him of sexual assault, was settled.

Brown signed with the Bucs last season after serving an eight-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. In eight regular-season games, the 32-year-old caught 45 passes for 483 yards and four touchdowns. He caught eight passes for 81 yards and two touchdowns in three playoff games, including five catches for 22 yards and a score in the Super Bowl.

The Seattle Seahawks and Baltimore Ravens showed interest in Brown this offseason, but seven-time Pro Bowler never wanted to part ways with Tom Brady. Earlier this month, Brown begged the Bucs to re-sign him, commenting on one of the team's Instagram posts saying, "Sign AB."
