Bucs coach Jon Gruden continues to gush over QB Jeff Garcia, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't mind Jake Plummer paying the team a visit. The former Denver Broncos starting quarterback missed Tuesday's first day of the mandatory minicamp and is subject to a fine. Plummer routinely has claimed he's retired but has yet to file the appropriate papers with the league office. While they wait, the Bucs continue to hold out hope the quarterback they traded a 2008 draft pick for shows up. "We'll reserve a spot for the 'Snake' for a little while longer," Gruden said. "If it was Jake Jones or Jake Johnson or Jake Gruden, we'd probably bypass the holding pattern that we're in right now. This is one heck of a football player that has accomplished a great deal. At this point, he's retired and hopefully at some point he changes his mind or reconsiders."
