Plummer: I'm Retiring
Pewter Report (subscription), FL - 8 hours ago
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are willing to give quarterback Jake Plummer some time to contemplate his retirement from the NFL.

However, Plummer has apparently already made his decision.

Plummer held a small press conference at the Denver Athletic Club Friday evening to end speculation that he might play football again. He expressed the importance of leaving the game of football in one piece.

“At 32 years old, I’m running away from the game,” said Plummer, who was playing a doubles handball tournament with his brother Eric. “Not in fear or fright, but meaning health-wise. I’m healthy, I’m happy and I have a lot to look forward to in my life.”

The NFL still doesn't have his retirement papers, but Bucs QB Jake Plummer still insists he's hanging up the shoulder pads and cleats. Tampa Bay's been trying to talk him out of his decision, but to no avail, apparently. If he did come back, would be start for the Buccaneers?

Right now, I think the job is Garcia's to lose. He would be fighting for a backup position.

Plummer did Tampa a big favor.
