Chris Simms Released

Bucs cut Chris Simms

Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have cut quarterback Chris Simms.

Simms is not eligible for waivers, which means he becomes an unrestricted free agent and can sign with any team he chooses.

One team that may be interested in Simms’ services is Chicago, where starter Kyle Orton and backup Rex Grossman don’t inspire much confidence. Although Caleb Hanie is on the Bears’ roster as the third quarterback right now, it seems likely that he could be out of work and the Bears could make an offer to Simms.

Simms started 15 games in five years for Tampa Bay.

What do you guys think?  Are we still in need of another quarterback, or are we just fine with Brad Johnson and Rich Bartel?
