Detroit Lions cornerback Eric Wright will sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today, according to several sources.

The San Francisco 49ers were very interested in Wright when free agency began on Tuesday, but backed off and sign Carlos Rogers. Wright will step in and replace Buccaneers cornerback Ronde Barber, who is contemplating retirement. He will also join Bucs cornerback Aqib Talib in Tampa Bay's secondary

Wright earned $2 million last year, but the specifics of his contract are not currently available. Tampa Bay signed receiver Vincent Jackson to a five-year contract worth worth $55.555 million, according to The Tampa Tribune. The deal calls for Jackson to receive $36 million in guaranteed payouts the first three years, including $26 million the first two years.

Last season, Wright four interceptions and 73 tackles.

Currently Wright's backups at right cornerback are Alphonso Smith, while Brandon McDonald is currently an unrestricted free agent. Chris Houston, Aaron Berry and Don Carey are some of Detroit's notable cornerbacks under contract.

Some notable cornerbacks remaining in free agency are Brandon Carr (Kansas City), Richard Marshall (Arizona), Tracy Porter (New Orleans), Jason Allen (Texans) and William Gay (Pittsburgh).
