Askew Receives Contract Extension

Posted May 16, 2008 by Roy Cummings

TAMPA - Who says the Bucs aren’t in the business of giving out contract extensions? Not B.J. Askew.

Askew, a fullback who seldom touched the ball but was considered an integral part of the Buc running game last year, recently signed a four-year extension.

The deal brings the total value of Askew’s contract to $8.6 million and calls for the six-year veteran out of Michigan to receive $2.2 million in guaranteed payouts, including a $2 million signing bonus.

The deal, which figures to keep Askew in a Buc uniform through the 2012 season, could be just the first in a run of extensions. The Buc are also negotiating extensions for quarterback Jeff Garcia, running back Earnest Graham, defensive end Greg White and defensive tackle Jovan Haye.

Garcia and Graham have made it clear they are unhappy with the status of their talks. Graham has yet to show for an offseason workout at One Buc Place and Garcia suggested on Tuesday that he may start to skip workouts if his request for an extension is not soon met.
