Another Plea For Leinart
March 5th, 2009Joe was listening to “The Big Dog,” Steve Duemig on WDAE-AM 620 Wednesday when he overheard Duemig suggest that the Bucs should take a stab at trading for Arizona backup quarterback Matt Leinart.
The suggestion brought a smile to Joe’s face as he posed the same suggestion roughly a month ago. It’s still a smart move.
Given the fact Kurt Warner signed a two-year deal with the Desert Rats yesterday, and knowing what a fraud Bill Bidwill is, Joe just can’t imagine that skinflint Bidwill will want to pay Leinart $6 million a year for picking his nose on the sideline, daydreaming about the Arizona State college chicks waiting for him in his hottub when he returns home.
Apparently the Bucs aren’t 100 percent convinced about Luke McCown or Josh Johnson otherwise they wouldn’t have made a play for Denver quarterback Jay Cutler over the weekend. And Dominik apparently believes in competition at most positions, otherwise, why in the name of Martin Gramatica would he sign Mike (not Ted) Nugent?
Joe has proposed floating a third-round pick to Bidwill for Leinart and see if he nibbles at the bait. If Dominik wants to toss a future second round pick to Bidwill, if it lands Leinart, Joe can live with that.
