The Facts: The Bucs have taken steps to bring back both of their restricted free agents for 2015, signing nickel defensive back Leonard Johnson to a 1-year deal and giving Rainey a $1.54-million tender that gives them the right to match any offer from another team.

Diehards Line: Neither Johnson nor Rainey is guaranteed to make the Bucs' roster, but the team avoided allowing them to become unrestricted free agents. Rainey has rushed for a team-best 938 yards over the last two seasons, catching another 33 passes for 315 yards in 2014. He also has played extensively on special teams and handled return duties at the end of last season. With the tender, the Bucs have the right of first refusal, allowing them to match any offer should another team try to sign Rainey away.
