QB Chris Simms will be a Dallas Cowboys target next year

It's about potential. Chris Simms had a pretty good day today..15/29 for 279 yards and 3 TDs.

Chris Simms certainly finished with strong preseason numbers overall. He completed 66.0% of his passes, threw four touchdowns against just one interception, had the highest yards-per-pass-attempt of any of the three Buc passers (7.51) and finished with a quarterback rating of 107.8.


TIDBIT: Various teams have inquired about Chris Simms' availability in recent months, most notably the New York Jets and Denver Broncos. But the Buccaneers didn't make him available either time. After this season, though, it could be a different story. Some team could have the chance to sign Simms to an offer sheet that will be difficult for the perpetually cap-strapped Buccaneers to match. -- NFL.com

TIDBIT: Chris Simms is a restricted free agent at the end of this season. According to Tampa Bay's website, Griese is solid as the starter and just got a new contract extention, so Simms may be available soon.
