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.

      https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/bruins-hurricanes-could-swap-linus-ullmark-and-martin-necas.html The Boston Bruins are continuing to garner more and more interest for their former Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Linus Ullmark, giving them a chance to be picky about the return. That could exclude much of the league from acquiring the star netminder, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman sharing on The Jeff Marek Show that he doesn’t believe teams like the Vancouver Canucks or Montreal Canadiens have the assets to acquire Ullmark. Friedman added that the Carolina Hurricanes could be one of the few teams rich enough for the deal, especially if they involve forward Martin Necas. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/carolina-hurricanes Expect the Maple Leafs and Predators to be two of the top suitors for Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce if he hits the open market next month, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta reports.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      They do, just when. I hate to be pessimistic but it’s all about the QB. I can’t recall a QB situation where a bad QB (not bad stats, but looking like they don’t belong) turned a team around. Peyton Manning had a ridiculous amount of interceptions but he didn’t show his future limitations. Usually, it was picking another QB in the draft. Unfortunately, IMHO, we won’t be really better until we get our Cam v2, someone who can carry the team and not win only if we have a stud lineup around him. That’s why I’m more interested in how the rest of the draft picks do to see if we can actually solve holes like the ones we created losing Olsen, CMC, Moore, Turner/Kalil/Norwell, etc. I want to actually be one QB away not Fitterer’s definition of one player away.

      How to list & hopefully sell PSLs plus season tickets

      I will say once you have been in newer arenas and stadiums with their way better bathroom set-ups, it is such a massive improvement. It clears up a lot of insane lines just waiting around to piss.  I have taken to not drinking at all at older stadiums just so I don't have to deal with planning when to take a piss and what part of the game I am gonna be forced to miss because of it. It's so nice to be in a new arena/stadium with way better bathroom accessibility that doesn't force you to literally miss the game. Not to mention I will actually spend money on booze there then.
