Cornerback Ronde Barber has signed a one-year deal to remain with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
Last month, Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris indicated that Barber would be back for a 15th season.
"He's coming back," Morris told the St. Petersburg Times. "It's just a matter of deciding how much he's worth and all that. But our starting right cornerback will be back. He'll be our starting right corner as long as he keeps playing at a high level."
Barber earned $3 million in base salary last season. In 16 games, Barber totaled 82 tackles, one quarterback sack, and three interceptions.
Barber has been with the Buccaneers since they chose him with the 66th overall pick in the 1997 NFL Draft. The 35-year old has appeared in 208 consecutive games for the Buccaneers, starting 183 straight, the second-longest active starting streak in the NFL.
A five-time Pro Bowler and member of the NFL's All-Decade team for the 2000s, Barber has 40 career interceptions, 7 of which he's returned for touchdowns. Barber has added 26 quarterback sacks, the only player in NFL history with 40 interceptions and 25 quarterback sacks.
