The Facts:
The Bucs and retired QB Plummer have reached a settlement in a grievance filed by the Bucs that sought to recover $7-million of a signing bonus paid to the player for a contract he failed to fulfill. Instead of the full sum, we've confirmed the sides have settled the case for roughly half, or $3.5-million.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
A hearing before an arbitrator in New York originally scheduled for today was canceled. Plummer faced an uphill climb had the case gone before the arbitrator given the precedent set by other cases. The Bucs filed the grievance last summer when Plummer failed to report to training camp after his trade from the Broncos earlier in 2007. The Bucs continued to have conversations with Plummer aimed at convincing him to join the team, but Plummer declined and remained retired.
