Bucs QB Chris Simms may be on the verge of receiving his year-long wish for an escape from Tampa, the way we hear it. Reports recently surfaced that the Cowboys were interested in trading for Simms to make him a backup to Tony Romo. Sources tell PFW the Bears and Lions have shown interest in acquiring the fifth-year veteran, as well. Word is there’s a good chance Simms will be with another team around the time training camp begins. Simms, who said he has fully recovered from the ruptured spleen that has kept him off the field since Week Three of the 2006 season, skipped all of the Bucs’ offseason workouts and is miffed at head coach Jon Gruden and GM Bruce Allen for what he perceives as unfair treatment. Word is Allen will be shooting for a first-day pick in the swap, but it's unlikely that a potential trade partner would be willing to give up a second-round pick for Simms, who was struggling with depth-perception problems during drills last year. However, Simms has told sources those issues have subsided.
