BUCS TO SHIP PLUMMER TO RAIDERS?
There's speculation in league circles that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will eventually trade quarterback Jake Plummer to the Oakland Raiders.
The thinking is that the Raiders are interested in acquiring Plummer as a short-term starter while expected No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell gets ready to play, but that there's no way that the Raiders and Broncos ever could have done business together.
Enter the Bucs, who could end up being the straw man for a deal that puts Plummer in silver and black.
Stay tuned.​

How can the Bucs trade someone who is 1) not on the team and 2) retired?

Word this afternoon is he still wants to play and isn't considering retirement. I heard this about an hour ago on ESPN radio.

He didn't want to go to Tampa. But now that Tampa has signed Jeff Garcia (according to NFL Network), Plummer probably has reconsidered retirement.

The trade with the Bucs was void with Plummer's retirement. If he comes back, he's still the property of Denver.
