The Facts:
In a move that can only be described as bizarre, the press release announcing the acquisition of defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson by the Broncos also states that Plummer has been traded to Tampa for a conditional pick in the 2008 draft. The release says: "The Denver Broncos on Saturday traded quarterback Jake Plummer to Tampa Bay in exchange for a conditional selection in the 2008 NFL Draft, head coach Mike Shanahan announced."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
ESPNews is also reporting this story. ... As PFT editor Mike Florio suggested, it looks like the Bucs have opted to squat on Plummer's rights. If he truly retires, the Broncos would likely get nothing. If Plummer decides not to quit, then the Broncos get a pick in 2008 based on, potentially, Plummer's playing time or performance. So, as a practical matter, the Bucs now have Plummer, Jeff Garcia, and Chris Simms under contract.
