Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Eric Wright signed a one-year deal on Tuesday that will pay him $1.5 million next season, with a chance to make up to $3 million with incentives, the team announced.

Wright was suspended for four games for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy last season and had his grievance about his guaranteed salary denied. He lost $1.7 million in game checks during the four-game ban.

Wright was set to make $7.75 million in 2013, and that salary was no longer guaranteed due to that suspension causing the team to re-work his deal.

Wright started all 10 games in which he played for the team last season and finished with 39 tackles, one interception returned 60 yards for a touchdown, eight passes defensed and one fumble recovery. He spent the previous season with the Detroit Lions.

After signing a big free agent deal last offseason, Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Eric Wright may have played his last down with them.

Profootballtalk.com reports that the team is trying to trade Wright only after one season.

Wright was suspended for four games for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy last season and had his grievance about his guaranteed salary denied. He lost $1.7 million in game checks during the four-game ban.

Wright is due to make $7.75 million in 2013, and that salary is no longer guaranteed due to that suspension.  The team could also cut him and go after another cornerback via free agency or a trade.

Wright is scheduled to make $7.25 million in 2014, $7.25 million in 2015, and $7.5 million in 2016. He had 34 tackles and one interception in 2012 after spending the previous season with the Detroit Lions.

A grievance filed by Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Eric Wright to challenge the voiding of his $7.75 million guarantee for the 2013 season was denied by an arbitrator on Friday, reports NFL.com.

The void of the guarantee went into effect after Wright was suspended four games for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing substances. Wright said he used Adderall, which is on the league’s banned substances list, unless it is approved by the league. Wright had 34 tackles and one interception last season.

The team could still release Wright and if they do, they will have around $31 million in cap space to go after free agents. Wright is due $7.25 million in 2014-2015, $7.5 million in 2016 on the back end of a five-year, $38 million contract signed last year.

The NFL will suspend Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting cornerback Eric Wright for four games for violation of the league’s performance enhancing drug policy, Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano said Monday.

Wright’s suspension is for the use of Adderall, a drug used to treat narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Wright’s four-game suspension will cost him $1,705,882 in base salary. Wright started the first 10 games this season but missed the Bucs’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons with a sore Achilles tendon. Wright has 39 tackles and one interception this season.

The Buccaneers (6-5) next four opponents are Denver, Philadelphia, New Orleans and St. Louis. Wright is eligible to return for Tampa Bay’s final game at Atlanta.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Eric Wright was arrested early Monday morning in downtown Los Angeles on suspicion of felony driving under the influence after he was involved in an accident that injured the driver of another vehicle, reports the Los Angeles Times in a blog post.

Wright, who signed a five-year, $37.5 million contract with Tampa Bay this offseason, reportedly told police officers that he had been drinking at a friend’s house earlier in the evening. Wright also reportedly refused to take a field sobriety test or a Breathalyzer.

The driver of the other vehicle was injured but refused medical attention, the Times reports.

Wright, who intercepted four passes last season with the Detroit Lions, was arrested on suspicion of rape in 2005 while playing at USC, but prosecutors declined to charge him, citing insufficient evidence.

Wright is one of a number of NFL players to be arrested this offseason for allegedly driving under the influence. Detroit, his former team, has received attention for its string of arrests in recent weeks, including those of Nick Fairley and Aaron Berry for DUI.

NFL.com‘s Albert Breer reported in June that the NFL would push for increased player discipline for DUIs. That move came after the arrest of New York Giants lineman David Diehl.

The Detroit Lions look to re-sign defensive back Eric Wright, according to the Detroit Free Press.

“He had a solid season for us,” Lions general manager Martin Mayhew told the paper Friday. “We were happy with his performance. He can obviously perform better. Most of our guys can. But we’re also going to work on trying to get him back.”

The Lions met with Wright’s agent on Saturday, however, no contract proposals were exchanged. Wright has said he wants to remain in Detroit, but is seeking a long-term deal.

Wright started this past season at right cornerback but also filled in on the left side due to injury. This season he had 74 tackles, four interceptions, and one forced fumble.
