Owner and GM Jerry Jones didn't exactly say the Cowboys in the market for a veteran backup to pair with Brad Johnson over the weekend, but he didn't close the door on the possibility either. Any thoughts on Texas-ex Chris Simms?

Tampa Bay has seven quarterbacks on its roster: Jeff Garcia, Brian Griese, Luke McCown, Simms, Bruce Gradkowski, draft pick Josh Johnson and the rights to the retired Jake Plummer. Simms is staying away from the team's voluntary off-season program for the first time in his career.

Simms hasn't played since 2006 after having his spleen removed and he is due a $2 million base salary. He turns 28 in August. He took Tampa to the playoffs in 2005. The Bucs say he is 100 percent healthy now. You would think the Bucs have to release one or three of these QBs at some point. Maybe he would be a good fit behind Johnson for now and a solid backup for Tony Romo in the future. And there's this: he was a teammate of offensive coordinator Jason Garrett's in 2004 for a spell according to the Dallas Morning News

Pass.. theres gotta be better options out there. Besides why not start grooming another Romo instead of taking someone else's damaged goods?

Exactly, Parcells is gone, so no need for a Simms.
