I don't think this guy has retired yet. So does anyone think he will get a shot?

 

[Anthony Borbely]

I think it depends on his health. I haven't heard anything about him recently. He will be serviceable if he plays.

 

[The Man With No Name]

He was supposed to decide about 3 weeks ago whether to continue to play or retire, but hasn't. He was at Buccaneers camp over the weekend.

I don't know ... I think its unlikely. Didn't Detroit have Quarles in for look?

I don't think so. I may be mistaken but I believe that was just speculation that the team might bring him in because of the Marinelli/Barry connection.

Thats was prolly it Jean. I thought I read something awhile back about Detroit and someother team, (may have been Washington).

LAKE BUENA VISTA—Shelton Quarles has joined the Bucs as an NFL advance scout, three months after being released by Tampa Bay. The third-leading tackler in franchise history attended Wednesday’s practice and said he was excited about his new opportunity.

“This is big for me and big for my family,’’ said Quarles, who played 10 years for the Bucs and became the starting middle linebacker in the 2002 championship season. “For me, staying in the Tampa area and being part of the organization was a no-brainer.’’

Quarles said he had opportunities to continue his playing career with other teams but decided to retire.

“The reality is that you want to play forever, but that’s not necessarily going to be the case,’’ he said.

Coach Jon Gruden said Quarles will excel in his new role, scouting upcoming opponents.

“He’s a Buccaneer,’’ Gruden said. “His passion for the game is unparalleled. As a scout, his love of the game will really help us.’’
