Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Leonard Fournette reach 3-year, $21 million deal, sources say

Running back Leonard Fournette, who spent Monday visiting with the New England Patriots, is re-signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a three-year, $21 million deal, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.

Fournette ranked sixth among all NFL running backs with 1,266 yards from scrimmage when the Buccaneers placed him on injured reserve with a hamstring injury after Week 15. He missed the wild-card game and returned for the Bucs' divisional round loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

After signing his second one-year deal with the Bucs last offseason, Fournette, 27, rushed for 812 yards and scored 10 total touchdowns.
