Pro Bowl DE Simeon Rice Released/Cut/Let Go by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers!!!

Simeon Rice failed his physical today. Geez, take a page out of the Patriots book and put him on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list. Instead you OUTRIGHT release the guy. ***shakes head in disgust***

GM Bruce Allen had the following to say in light of the Simeon Rice releasing:

That's right Bruce, it hasn't! My goodness, this is like a bad dream .... Lynch and Sapp were let go do to injury concerns, they have done quite well having left the Bucs. I'm exasperated really, granted Simeon Rice failed his physical (as did Lynch) and he's coming off a horrid injury riddled season, BUT its his contract year . . . and and and whatever

In one of the more shocking events to take place this off-season, on the EVE of Training Camp the Tampa Bay Bucs, specifically GM Bruce Allen, has decided to cut/release/let go (however you wanna shake it) Pro Bowl DE Simeon Rice. The reason given thus far is due to health issues. Apparently the Bucs asked Simeon to take a pay cut, which he refused and he got immediately released. Talk about a knee jerk reaction ..... Wow! Didn't see this one coming at all.

Hat Tip to RJ for the Link!
