Chris Simms spent the night walking the sideline, leaving Luke McCown and Bruce Gradkowski to state their final cases for being Tampa Bay's backup quarterbacks.

The Bucs are thought to be shopping Michael Clayton, but it's unlikely they would get an offer they deem fair for a receiver they invested a No.

Second-year quarterback Bruce Gradkowski's name has surfaced during a federal points-shaving investigation at his alma mater, Toledo, according to a report.

Jeff Garcia played three series Saturday, and he helped the Buccaneers beat the Dolphins 31-28 with a 26-yard touchdown pass to Joey Galloway on his final snap.

Tampa Bay wide receiver David Boston was arrested on charges of driving under the influence on Thursday night in Pinellas County.

Tom Brady spent most of the night on the sideline.

Mike Alstott's season, and perhaps his career, is over.

Buccaneers fullback Mike Alstott is expected to announce his retirement Thursday, multiple Tampa Bay-area media outlets reported.

Quarterbacks often are judged by comebacks and their ability to beat the clock, but Chris Simms is running out of time.
