The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... The Buccaneers announced they signed Hawkins to a contract Monday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Hawkins signed with the San Diego Chargers mid way through last season. He appeared in four games without a catch and returned eight kicks. The 27-year-old receiver spent the previous five seasons with the Tennessee Titans where he caught 71 passes for 771 yards and one touchdown. Hawkins adds depth, but as NFL.com suggests, the veteran is closer to a No. 4 receiver than a No. 3. After trading Mike Williams to the Buffalo Bills last week, the Bucs are likely to draft a receiver in the 2014 NFL Draft, perhaps with the No. 7 overall pick. As of today, the Buccaneers receiving corps sits as follows: Vincent Jackson, Louis Murphy, Lavelle Hawkins, Chris Owusu, Skye Dawson, Eric Page and Russell Shepard.
