The Facts:
The Bucs plan to continue to pressure Plummer into changing his mind about retirement and hopefully coax him into reporting to training camp. Jon Gruden said Monday he is attempting to schedule a face-to-face meeting with the former Broncos QB. "We're trying to hook up with him to see if we'll have some opportunities to sit down with him face-to-face," Gruden said. "Jake Plummer is hanging in the balance right now."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Despite Plummer's announcement of his retirement, Gruden said the 32-year-old QB still is considering playing next season. Plummer has not submitted his retirement papers to the NFL office. Apparently the Bucs would like to at least have Plummer report to training camp, perhaps hoping that the competition with Jeff Garcia and Chris Simms will take over. If Plummer was released under that scenario, the Bucs might not go after his $7-million pro-rated signing bonus. ... Gruden said he is hopeful Plummer will make a decision in the next few weeks.
