ChadJohnson-85 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 ESPN.com has learned that the Denver Broncos have reached agreement in principle on most of the elements of a trade that will send veteran quarterback Jake Plummer to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Under the terms being discussed, the Broncos would receive a middle-round draft choice, believed to be a fourth-rounder, in exchange for Plummer. The trade could be announced as early as Friday. Tampa Bay re-signed Chris Simms to a two-year contract earlier this offseason. But with Simms coming off a 2006 season in which he underwent an emergency splenectomy, the Bucs have been shopping for a veteran quarterback to bolster the depth chart. Veteran backup Tim Rattay became an unrestricted free agent on Friday and was not expected to return to Tampa Bay. Plummer, 32, lost his starting job in Denver to rookie Jay Cutler late last season and the Broncos have been entertaining trade offers in the offseason. A 10-year veteran, Plummer has started 136 games in stints with Arizona (1997-2002) and Denver (2003-2006). He has completed 2,484 of 4,350 passes for 29,253 yards, with 161 touchdown passes and 161 interceptions, for a passer rating of 74.6. All I can say is that he's better then Chris Simms and all their other back up's. This is deffinitally an upgrade for the Bucs IMO. Now they need to get Calvin Johnson.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2785459 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalszoneBilly Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I think when they benched him for Cutler, he lost his desire to do it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
