The Facts:
Two days before the start of free agency, the Bucs and Simms have removed a large part of the uncertainty that threatened to hang over the team’s QB situation. On Wednesday, Simms agreed to a one-year contract with the Buccaneers, who were going to tender him an offer that would have made him a restricted free agent requiring first and third-round draft pick compensation.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Simms moved into the starting role after Brian Griese suffered a season-ending knee injury against Miami on October 16 and led a successful stretch run that included five straight intra-division wins. ... Next on the Bucs agenda? Figuring out a way to reduce Griese's $7.08 million cap figure. Although team officials would love to keep him, they can't do it at that price.
