| 24th February, 2006 - 5:53 pm |  SPTimes.com - The Bucs are working on a deal to bring Brian Griese back for at least one more season.
That might not be the best news for quarterback Chris Simms, who has fired his agent in an apparent response to the slow pace of negotiations.
Simms, who has terminated agent Marvin Demoff and hired Tom Condon, is likely to receive a one-year, $2-million qualifying offer from the Bucs.
That would enable Tampa Bay to receive a first- and third-round draft pick for Simms if they fail to match an offer from another team when he becomes a restricted free agent March 3.
Griese's agent, Ralph Cindrich, met with Bucs general manager Bruce Allen at the NFL scouting combine Wednesday night and talks resumed Thursday.
The Bucs have to trim as much as $19-million from the payroll to reach the league's mandated salary cap by Thursday. [READ] |
