The Facts:
With rosters limited to 80 players -- at least eight less than they were allowed to have in years past -- teams are being forced to make difficult personnel decisions sooner than ever before. The Bucs will need to cut at least eight more players between now and the July 26 start of camp workouts. Whether Simms will be among those let go remains uncertain, but the chances have increased as a result of the mandate.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Bucs had hoped to take five QBs to training camp but the mandate may force them to take four. As previously noted, Simms -- calling his relationship with HC Jon Gruden "broken" -- has asked the team to allow him to move on. Now it appears he may not have to wait much longer for the release he wants.
