Former Bengals Running Back Giovani Bernard Returning to Buccaneers

CINCINNATI — The Bengals are going to face an old friend this season.
Veteran running back Giovani Bernard signed a one-year contract to return to the Buccaneers according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The 30-year-old turned down multiple offers to stay in Tampa Bay.
Bernard spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Bengals. He ran for 3,697 yards and had another 2,867 yards receiving during his time in Cincinnati.
Now he'll try to help Tom Brady get back to the Super Bowl.
The Bengals play the Buccaneers this season, which means it won't just be Joe Burrow versus Brady—it'll also be the first time Bernard faces his former team.
