Garcia’s Attempt at Getting a New Deal Falling on Deaf Ears?

From: Pro Football Weekly

Jeff Garcia didn’t help his cause this week as he jockeys for a new contract from the Buccaneers. Garcia mentioned he might have to do something drastic if the team didn’t meet his demand for a new deal, which was perceived as a hint at retirement before the 2008 season. Later, the quarterback said he meant he would retire after the ’08 season. Of course, he’s not under contract after ’08, so if the Bucs don’t offer him a new deal and he plays out this season, they come away unscathed. His attempt at gaining leverage was executed very poorly, and it didn’t bring the two sides any closer to reaching an agreement.
