Garcia Upset He Doesn't Have New Deal

May 29, 2014 8:44 AM

Jeff Garcia is upset that the Buccaneers haven't yet given him a new deal this offseason, according to the St. Petersburg Times. He would like the team to restructure his current deal, allowing him to finish his career in Tampa Bay. He has one year left on his current pact. "Talks haven't necessarily gone all that good," Garcia said. "So in a way, it's disappointing. At this point in my career, I'm no longer 24 or 25 saying, 'I'm going to prove to you I deserve this.' I feel like I've proved throughout my career. And I feel like at this time, it's time to just work with me, and you know what I bring to the team. You know what I've done for the team, and you know how much more I can do. And now I have a year under my system," he added.
