I would love to see Simms come in and backup Romo. Spaghetti arm doesn't inspire confidence.

I'd love for him to be #2 and can Johnson.

He just might get a chance here if the price was right

Simms would be a good 2nd QB I think. But I could almost see the team holding him till the last moment. It seems like this is the year that teams are trying to pooch some of their players they have decided they don't want around any more.

I doubt he'd want to go anywhere that has an established #1 QB.

QB Simms May Be Close To Being Cut
By ROY CUMMINGS
The Tampa Tribune
Published: June 20, 2008
TAMPA - Chris Simms may not have to wait much longer for the release he wants from the Bucs.
Armed with a league-issued mandate to reduce their roster to 80 players by the start of training camp, the Bucs already have begun the process of purging players.
Patrick Chukwurah, a reserve linebacker/defensive lineman and special teams player, was among the first to be let go Thursday.
Marquis Gunn, a first-year defensive lineman out of Auburn, also was released.
The Bucs will need to cut at least eight more players between now and the July 26 start of camp workouts. Whether Simms will be among those let go remains uncertain, but the chances have increased as a result of the mandate.
With rosters limited to 80 players - at least eight less than they were allowed to have in years past - teams are being forced to make difficult personnel decisions sooner than ever before.
One such decision to be made by the Bucs revolves around the number of quarterbacks the team will take to camp.
The Bucs had hoped to take five but the mandate may force them to take four.
"We're going to have to make some tough decisions," Coach Jon Gruden said. "When the rookies sign, they obviously have to have room on the roster to come to camp, so there are some tough decisions to make.
"And it's emotional for me, because maybe you haven't seen these guys out here in April, May and June, but they've been out here working hard. You'd like to afford them an opportunity to benefit from the hard work."
Chukwurah, who signed with the Bucs as a free agent in the spring of 2007, is coming off a season in which his workload was greatly limited by a shoulder injury.

It's not like this is new news. He's made statements since Feb or March that he wants out of TB.
He's also made no bones about not settling for a team where he wouldn't have at least an equal chance to start.
Him being willing to come here as a 3rd, is out of the question IMO.
