-->The team did not make an announcement, but planned for the former LSU receiver to be available to discuss the deal soon.
Clayton was the 15th player selected in the draft and is being counted on to make an immediate impact on offense and special teams.
The 6-foot-3, 197-pound rookie had 182 receptions for 2,582 yards and a school-record 21 touchdowns in three years at LSU. He had 10 catches for 1,079 yards and 10 TDs last season, helping the Tigers win the Bowl Championship Series title, LSU's first national championship in 45 years.
The Bucs could have a drastically different look at receiver this year following the trade that sent Keyshawn Johnson to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for Joey Galloway.
Last season's receptions leader, Keenan McCardell, has said he won't report to training camp next week unless he gets an extension on his contract.
McCardell made the Pro Bowl after catching 84 passes for 1,174 yards and eight TDs last season, however Bucs general manager Bruce Allen has given no indication that the team is willing to give him a pay raise.
Coach Jon Gruden added depth at the position this week when he signed former Green Bay and Detroit wideout Bill Schroeder.
