The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have not given up their pursuit of Jake Plummer.
According to the Pewter Report, Tampa Bay general manager Bruce Allen said the team will try to convince Plummer to play for the team in 2008. The Buccaneers acquired Plummer in a trade from the Broncos last March even though Plummer got he word out that he was retired.
If Plummer reports to Tampa Bay before the April draft, Denver will receive a fourth-round pick this year. If not, Denver will get a seventh-round pick.
Plummer is living in his native Idaho and made it clear that he intends to stay retired.
