Tampa Bay Buccaneers restricted free agent wide receiver Maurice Stovall has been given the original round restricted free agent tender, Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune reports.
A third-round pick in 2006, Stovall would earn $1.176 million dollars in 2010, and if he signs an offer sheet the Buccaneers decline to match, the Bucs would receive a fourth-round pick as compensation, as they've used the "Upgraded Tender" on left tackle Donald Penn.
Stovall has started just three of his 42 games for Tampa Bay, and has 44 receptions for 579 yards and two touchdowns in his career. He does have 22 special teams tackles over the last three seasons, though.
