QB Garcia considering retirement?: NFL Network reports that Bucs QB Jeff Garcia is so unhappy with his current contract -- and the club's decision not to offer him an extension -- that he's open to the idea of retiring. Garcia is in a contract year that is scheduled to pay him $2 million, a bargain considering what he did for the Bucs last season. "If it doesn't work itself out, if a contract is not presented as far as a renewal to finish my career, then I will seriously think about what my alternate options may be. And it may come to not playing football anymore," Garcia told SIRIUS Satellite Radio. "I feel like when you mistreat people there comes a time when it doesn't matter how much you are paid, it's going to lead to some drastic decisions. ... There are days I'm not as excited to be there, I'll be honest." (Updated 06/05/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Garcia is a wild character, but he'd be absolutely nuts to follow through on this threat. We figure this to be just another attempt by Garcia to get the Bucs to give him more money. We'd be shocked if the two sides didn't come to an agreement before the start of the season. Expect decent stats from Garcia, but until he begins to throw more, he'll never be better than a No. 2 Fantasy option and a solid one-week replacement QB, worth a late-round pick in drafts this summer.
