Just one day after quarterback Jake Plummer indicated he'd rather retire than relocate in a trade, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have recovered, signing unrestricted free agent Jeff Garcia on a deal that could allow the veteran to again challenge for a starting job in the league.
Jeff Garcia had been in talks with the Raiders. But when the Bucs' efforts to land Jake Plummer apparently fell through, Garcia called an audible.
Then they traded for Plummer anyway, sending a 2008 conditional draft pick to the Denver Broncos on Saturday in exchange.
Per PFT
Basically Tampa will get the rights to Plummer and Denver will get a conditional pick in '08 based on his playing time in '07. If he does retire, Denver gets nothing in return but here's where it gets interesting: Tampa would have Plummer's rights and would be entitled to a portion of his signing bonus if he retires.
So Jake may have to pay Tampa to retire - man the Broncos are sticking it to him
