Just Heard On 'The Herd' - Plummer to Buccaneers

by John Bena on Mar 2, 2007 8:32 AM MST in Rumor Mill

Just heard Len Pasquarelli from ESPN.com tell Colin Cowherd that the pieces are in place for the Broncos to send Jake Plummer to Tampa for a mid-round draft pick.

While the trade isn't official, it could be annouonced as early as today.

This was also repported on Cold Pizza this morning... Here is a link to ESPN.com's story. It is looking like the pick would be a fourth rounder, which gets the Broncos back into the early part of day two of the draft. They didn't have a fourth rounder as part of the Ashley Lelie trade, and traded their fifth rounder to Detroit as part of the Dre Bly deal.

Another solid move by the Broncos, not wasting any time dumping a player that is not part of the future. Keep it here for the latest.

I like this deal

I appreciate Plummer's time in Denver, but it was obvious he needed to be traded. TB should be a pretty good situation for him and an early 4th rounder seems like a fair price.

PS. Apparently, the Broncos are getting the Lions 6th round pick so we are really dropping from 148 to 161. That trade is growing on me.

I love this move...

scout.com is reporting that Garcia will be down to us or Oakland once this trade goes through.

Perfect.

Great Move

Getting anything for Jake would be great. Getting a mid round draft pick makes me giddy.

Personally, I hope we don't get Garcia. As backups go, he's pretty expensive. Save the cap room and get a journeyman to tutor Cutler.

Congratulations!!!!

Can you guys give me some kind of quick synopsis on what to expect from Jake Plummer other than a "porn stash". Nice pick-up with Dre Bly, with Champ Bailey on the other side thats fairly impressive.
