If Chris Simms believes boycotting offseason workouts will be his ticket out of Tampa Bay, he might want to reconsider, according to the St. Petersburg Times. General manager Bruce Allen indicated he has not talked to any teams about trading Simms at the NFL owner meetings, nor given Simms' agent permission to begin that dialogue. "I think the good news on Chris is that he's 100 percent healthy," Allen said. "It's been some time since he's felt that way, and I think that bodes well for him. We have a long way to go until training camp and we obviously have a long season in front of us. That position does take a pounding." The Buccaneers have paid Simms $7.1 million over the past two seasons, but he hasnt played a regular season game in 17 months since undergoing a splenectomy. Given the long period of inactivity, many general managers around the league feel he has limited trade value. | March 27, 2008
Chris Simms has decided not to participate in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offseason workouts, an indication he no longer fits into next season's plans and could be traded, according to the St. Petersburg Times. Although the workouts are voluntary, Simms also skipped last week's quarterback orientation for the first time in his career. "I just think
it's in my best interest to continue my own workouts and to just wait and see what happens with the team," Simms said. "I don't really know what's going to happen. As far as the Bucs and the quarterback position goes, it's always an adventure." Simms, who has not taken a regular-season snap since rupturing his spleen in September 2006, said he is completely recovered from the surgery, which forced him to sit out all of last season. The Bucs have six quarterbacks under contract: Jeff Garcia, Brian Griese, Simms, Luke McCown, Bruce Gradkowski and the retired Jake Plummer. | March 9, 2008
Bucs GM Bruce Allen said that Chris Simms could still be on the roster for training camp, according to the Tampa Tribune. Whether that happens will depend on his offseason performance in mini-camps, etc. The Bucs plan to bring five quarterbacks into camp -- maybe even six if Jake Plummer comes out of seclusion. He still has some upside, but with Jeff Garcia, Brian Griese, Luke McCown and Bruce Gradkowski in the mix, he has an uphill climb just to make the roster. |
