There's "some interest" in Garcia

Posted by Mike Florio on September 13, 2009 6:52 PM ET

With Tom Brady being backed up by an undrafted rookie (Brian Hoyer . . . or is it Bobby Hoying . . . or is it Bobby Brady?) and a quarterback who was converted to a receiver and who's now being converted back to a quarterback (Isaiah Stanback), and with the Panthers having a quarterback who might be in the midst of a full-blown case of Steve Blass disease (which would be fitting since he's already had Tommy John surgery), there's a need for a sound veteran presence in both places.

So how about Jeff Garcia? Raiders coach Tom Cable said recently that Garcia was released because he asked to be. Since Garcia hasn't announced his retirement, we can only assume that he'd still like to play.

Unless he plans to return to the CFL, Garcia needs to find a team in the NFL that wants him.

Per a league source, there's "some interest" in Garcia, but nothing substantive yet.

Garcia, as a vested veteran, would have been entitled to his full base salary if he were on a Week One roster and thereafter was cut. As teams complete their first games of the season, they may sign vested veterans like Garcia with much lower exposure for termination pay, if the veteran gets a pink slip.

all for garcia as back up. give jake one more chance. rather, give the offensive coordinator one more chance not to suck and call for stupid bomb down the feild plays when we are only down two scores. but if jake throws 4 more ints i might have have an ulcer or anurysm (sp?) anyway get garcia, have his as a back up, jake fails we at least have a guy who can make plays. to think i cheered when matt moore went in..............

If McCown's injury is as bad as I think it might be, signing Garcia might be a no-brainer. I really can't stand the guy, but he is the best unemployed QB in the league right now.

Thing is, Garcia's very much like Warner: If he's not the starter, he doesn't want to play. Not exactly what you'd call a team player, IMO.

I've wanted to sign Garcia ever since he was cut by Tampa. If for some unexplainable reason Delhomme gets his mojo back, Garcia would be a reliable backup--or he could come in and help us out this season and mentor the QB of the future we pick up in the draft or a trade later down the road.

Garcia's old and he's not a long term solution but he fills a lot of our current needs imo.

      Brindamour said this isn't the time of the year for making changes and therefore expect Nikishin to be a healthy scratch til at least two defenceman get injured. Yes I said two because ya don't make changes and there other guys on the roster who've played with the group in games.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.
