CINCINNATI, March 10 (UPI) -- Free agent wide receiver Antonio Bryant has agreed to a $28 million, four-year contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, sources said Wednesday.

The deal for the eight-year veteran wideout, who has played for Tampa Bay, Cleveland and San Francisco, could go as high as $29 million with incentives, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported.

The newspaper said the transaction would be announced as soon as Bengals head Coach Marvin Lewis returns from the NFL Competition Committee meetings.

Bryant, 29, was said to be the top free agent wide receiver on the NFL market. Last year with the Buccaneers, training camp knee injuries limited him to 13 games, during which he made 39 receptions for 600 yards, scoring four TDs.

Two years ago, he posted an outstanding season, grabbing 83 receptions for 1,248 yards and seven touchdowns, the Enquirer said.
