Chris Simms is under contract to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but coach Jon Gruden hasn't made it a secret that he has no intention of ever putting Simms on the field in a Bucs uniform again. That puts Simms in an awkward situation, and he vented his frustrations in an interview with the St. Petersburg Times:
"I feel like I'm being held hostage,'' Simms said. "I hate that all this has happened. I love Tampa. My family loves it here. But I've been quiet long enough. I feel like it's time to let everybody know why I'm not out there.''Simms said he knows for a fact that there were teams offering late-round draft picks to acquire him, and he's baffled that the Bucs didn't trade him. He also says the NFL forced him to be checked by a league-appointed doctor because it didn't think the team was telling the truth about his injuries.
But here's what I don't get: Why doesn't Simms just show up to off-season workouts and force the team's hand? Simms has a base salary of $2 million this year, and if he got hurt at the team facility the Bucs would have to pay it to him. By skipping workouts, Simms is actually helping the team hold him hostage.
