Plummer isn't a bad QB. I'm not sure that he's an improvement over Simms if he's healthy, but assuming they didn't give up much, this is a decent move.If it's for a pick, should we assume we'll be seeing McGahee in Denver soon?Gruden will get the most out of Plummer ...whatever that is.
They won't pay McGahee or give up a first day pick!Anyway, so much for all those Plummer and Bell to Houston for the #8 rumors huh?Plummer isn't a bad QB.

I'm picturing the "Chucky" face now when Plummer throws a stupid pick.interesting. Seems like a Gruden-type of QB
Hes an upgrade over what they have nowI'm picturing the "Chucky" face now when Plummer throws a stupid pick.interesting. Seems like a Gruden-type of QB
Because the ones Tampa already had weren't very good.My ???is why does Tampa need so many qb's?
Capella suicide watch: ACTIVATED
Especially when an errant pass from Simms ruptures Plummer's spleen.Plummer and Simms? I expect the "TVs broken by thrown objects" rate to go up at least 50% on Sundays in the Tampa metro area.
Looks like it is for a 4th rounder
ESPN.com reports that the Bucs and Broncos have an agreement in principle "on most of the elements" of a trade that will send Jake Plummer to the Bucs.
It's believed Denver will receive a fourth-round pick for Plummer. Plummer will land with the one QB guru who could make him relevant in fantasy leagues again. While Chris Simms should enter 2007 as the slight favorite to start in Tampa, Jon Gruden's history with veteran quarterbacks suggests that Plummer has a good chance to play eventually.

Gotta push up the value of Clayton, Galloway (at least for one more year) and Stovall if this is true. People will say that Jake is not a winner and that he's not a great QB. The fact is he puts up good fantasy points. And look at the last aging vet Chuckie signed? Gannon had a couple of great fantasy years at the tail end of his career.....Believed to be for a 4th rounder. Per ESPN TV.
Uhhh, Gruden's system made a similar player such as Rich Gannon one of the top FF QB's for several years. This has to be a great situation and wht is better? Houston?Plummer owner and hoping for something a bit better. Guess its better than sticking around in Denver..
There will be a competition, and he will name the starter after camp or pre-season.Depth chart is now Plummer/Simms/GradkowskiI wish they would have tried to resign Rattay, he played fairly well.
Yea I agree, Plummer fits pretty much the exact mold of what Gruden wants in a QB. If there is a system in the NFL that Plummer can flourish in, this is it. Especially if he's throwing the ball to Calvin Johnson which is still a possibility. Although something tells me he may be gone by the fourth pickUhhh, Gruden's system made a similar player such as Rich Gannon one of the top FF QB's for several years.

Throwing to Galloway, Johnson and Clayton.I like this move for the Bucs.Jake could even be a bit of a sleeper next year.
Couldn't agree more. He did wonders for Gannon's career.I like this move for the Bucs.Jake could even be a bit of a sleeper next year.
Could be - they certainly need a vet in there at the worst as a back upGarcia will sign with Denver and compete for the starting job
I wouldnt rule it out, but he wont come cheap. I just dont see them spending that kind of money on a runningback. Hot rumors right now includes aggressively pursuing Kerney and GrahamDoes anyone else think that Shanny will send a 3rd and 4th to the Bears for Jones?
He doesn't have to compete for anything in Oakland...Garcia will sign with Denver and compete for the starting job
Ouch. Guess this may be much ado about nothing.NFLN scroll says Schefter is reporting Plummer is expected to retire and trade will be nullified. FWIW.ETA: Expected, not going, to retire.

PLUMMER RETIRESAdam Schefter of NFL Network reports that Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer has retired in lieu of being traded to Tampa.Word of the trade broke earlier this morning, but recent published reports suggested that Plummer might pack it in.Plummer has played 10 NFL seasons. We have a weird feeling that, after a year or so on the sidelines, he might be lured back. The Cardinals, for example, will need a backup after Kurt Warner retires, and it would be fitting for Plummer to end his career there.
