My Chris Simms watch continues

Chris Simms has fired his agent because of the slow pace of his negotiations with the Bucs.

The team is now negotiating to bring Brian Griese back, which isn't great news for Simms. Simms is likely to get a one year, $2 million tender offer as a restricted free agent which would make it very difficult for another team to sign him. Simms obviously wants to be the long-term starter in Tampa.

The Bucs are working on a deal to bring Brian Griese back for at least one more season. That might not be the best news for quarterback Chris Simms, who has fired his agent in an apparent response to the slow pace of negotiations. Simms, who has terminated agent Marvin Demoff and hired Tom Condon, is likely to receive a one-year, $2-million qualifying offer from the Bucs.
