Good move by the Bucs. The more time he gets, the better he will be.
Its only a 1 year deal though so if he bombs then he is gone next year.
TAMPA, Fla. -- Quarterback Chris Simms agreed to a one-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Wednesday.
The signing comes two days before Simms would have become a restricted free agent and allows the Bucs to keep the quarterback who started the last 10 games in the 2005 season after Brian Griese went down with a knee injury.
Simms, drafted by the Bucs in 2003, won six of his 10 starts and led the team to an NFC South championship. He completed 191-of-313 passes for 2,035 yards, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
In a playoff game against Washington, the 25-year-old Simms set team postseason records by completing 25 passes on 38 attempts.
