Sat, 3 Mar 2007 23:42:25 -0800

Stephen Holder, of the St. Petersburg Times, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jake Plummer has announced his retirement. Plummer filed his paperwork for retirement Friday, March 2, but the process is not complete. Plummer posted a message on his charitable foundation's website saying his decision was final. "I want to thank my family and close friends for their loyal support through these fun-filled, roller-coaster years. Secondly, I owe all of my greatest achievements in football to the men who stood by me as teammates and coaches. Football has been awesome to me in many ways. I leave the game with my health and happiness and look forward to the future. I've got many rivers to cross."

Quitter.

So do the Broncos lose the draft pic they recieved?

Oops. I mispelled Plumber.

They get jack shit unless he plays for the Bucaneers.

Yes.

This follows pretty much everything I was hearing on the local radio. Sounded like he didn't want to compete for a starting job with the Bucs and the Garcia signing probably didn't help much.

All I need to know. And since his contract was thru 2010, that means he can't play anymore right?

He can come back and the Bucs retain his rights.

Nice.

Well, unless he plays for the Bucs. I wonder if they or the Broncos can recoup any money for breach of contract.

Guessing nothing if he didn't breach his contract since he retired.

Remember Ricky Williams???

Which involved drug use.

I think the difference was that Ricky didn't retire, he got kicked out for smoking weed.
