Here’s something laughable: Jeff Garcia is threatening to hold out if the Bucs don’t show him some more love (i.e. $).
“There might come a time when I might have to stand up,’’ Garcia said. “I hate to do that to jeopardize my teammates because they’re out here, and I don’t want to let them down in any sort of way. But at some point you just want to see the respect from up top.’’
Garcia first made it clear he was unhappy with the status of contract negotiations last month. He is entering the final year of a two-year deal worth $7 million and is believed to be seeking an extension that will bring his total payout to the league average for starters, which is roughly $7 million.
What? He’s 37-years old and the only reason he got a $7 million contract last offseason was because he played well in seven games with the Eagles the year before. Considering his talents are limited to say the least, he should be happy that he’s still starting in the league and understand that Jon Gruden’s offense is a damn good fit. He was great for the Bucs last year (and the Eagles the year before), but I just don’t understand complaining about your contract when you just signed it a year ago.
