He is not worth ANYTHING because they will cut him by preseason !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then one of those teams can pick him up without trading

Why is the NFL so QB needy? Still can't figure that out.

The most amazing thing that I read in this story is that three teams are interested in Chris Simms.

the real three teams are the Rehine Fire, Iowa Barnstormers and Dallas Desperadoes. those teams I'd believe. even thosugh the euro league is gone he can still go there and get far away from a NFL team. he is looking more like Rick Meir.

One thing working for Simms and against Tampa Bay is that the roster rules have gotten a lot more strict now. They can only have 80 players under contract at a time. Gruden can't keep 6 QBs in camp without completely screwing up the depth at the rest of the positions.

The fact that Brody Croyle, Rex Grossmann, and Kyle Boller were starting QBs last year tells you just how thin the talent level is at QB in the league right now.

Because most teams throw them out too early and they lose confidence pretty quick..

Simms will never be a great QB and with his past health issues.. a risk. He can however be a solid backup for several teams.

I'd think the Bears would be interested in ANY QB.

this guy is gonna fall apart as soon as someone hits him....but he does need to get out of Tampa...what is Gruden's obsession with having more than 3 qbs on the roster.....i dont get it

he should go to chicago since he would fit right in with the rest of their QB's he might actully be a step up from the current losers that can't get it done.

Being that Simms played in Tampa, the idiots who make the decisions for the Lions will be all over him. I have heard that they want to convert Simms to WR.

Fire Millen, and take that high school coach with you!

two teams ... dallas has no interest.

I doubt Dallas has much interest in Simms, he has no criminal record that I know of. Chris Henry however...

It's not Phil? forgetaboutit

Detroit would be the best place for him. no one cares for him nor the Lions. perfect fit

Detroit Lion's pre requisites:1) Player -> played for Tampa Bay
2) Coach -> last name starts with "M"
3) GM -> must be useless

Does Simms have any college eligibility left?

Chicago: home of broke down QBs. Simms will fit right in.

Chicago and Detroit make sense but Dallas is only an option because he went to school at Texas.

I'm just glad that the Rams are no longer listed as a team showing interest in this guy
