ESPN Mosley: Simms out of the picture in Dallas?

Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley

For those of you who were busy observing Labor Day, the Baltimore Ravens held a quarterbacks tryout Monday that one longtime scout described as "The Gong Show." Cowboys fans have been interested in Chris Simms since he was at the University of Texas, but I'm told he had a rough workout. Stalwarts Todd Bouman and Joey Harrington also stopped by the non-televised event.

As I told you Sunday, the Cowboys will wait until after the Browns game to sign former Jets and Vikings quarterback Brooks Bollinger -- unless someone swoops in and grabs him. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett is a Simms fan, but the club's personnel department may have a different opinion.

In other news, Cowboys defensive tackle Tank Johnson has switched from No. 66 to No. 95 because he "works 9 to 5."
