Tampa Bay Bucs Announce Pre-Season
Mike Evans Donates $10K
Tampa Bay Buccaneers star quarterback Jameis Winston recently had an opportunity to execute one of these great tasks as the Buc- caneers quarterback got the pleasure of delivering some great news to one deserving Florida State student.
Winston has been at Florida State working out and was able to participate in a moment the student will surely remember for the rest of his life.
Identified as Casey Jackson, the sophomore re- portedly knew he was getting
the scholarship. He just did- n’t know how it would come. Winston delivered the scholarship to the student.
Many fans of Winston get autographs but very few will ever have the type of ex- perience Jackson just did, as one of his favorite NFL players and fellow Seminole got to hand deliver poten- tially life changing news.
However, in this mo- ment, it’s equally important to take time and applaud the young leader for seizing the opportunity to influence oth- ers.

Dallas Cowboys star quarterback Dak Prescott has exchanged text messages with Dez Bryant since the wide receiver's release from the franchise on Friday.
Cowboys owner and gen- eral manager Jerry Jones met with Bryant for roughly 20 minutes on Friday, as Jones made the move with- out offering Bryant a pay cut. The Cowboys saved $8.5
million against the salary cap by cutting Bryant, the franchise's all-time leader in touchdown receptions.
Prescott was at The Star working out with teammates when the news came that Bryant had been released.
"Dez is going to be a hard guy to replace," Prescott said. "He's a tal- ented guy, so he'll be missed."
New Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Preston Brown has a league-high $2 million workout bonus, which is tied to his participation in the team's offseason workout program that is set to kick off on Monday.
The $2 million is part of the one-year deal that Brown inked with the Ben- gals in March, which carries a maximum value of $5 mil- lion. It's a robust total for a workout bonus, as only one other player in the league, Eagles defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, has a bonus of this nature north of $1 million.
It also marks the second

straight year that a Bengals free-agent linebacker signing has the league's largest off- season workout bonus avail- able, as Kevin Minter -- who recently signed with the Jets after spending 2017 in Cincinnati -- had a $1.1 mil- lion workout bonus last year.
