The Denver Broncos are busy again, close to a deal with the Tampa Bay Bucs, that would send former starter Jake Plummer to Tampa, reports ESPN.com.

Plummer would challenge Chris Simms for the starting job in Tampa, which is looking to make a wave in the off season, after a disappointing 4-12 season in 2006.

The Broncos are rumored to be receiving a fourth round pick in return. With this trade, Denver is acquiring move ammunition to move up in Round One, possibly to target Adrian Peterson or Marshawn Lynch.

Denver would have to acquire a back up for Jay Cutler, possibly Jeff Garcia or Tim Rattay, both West Coast style QBs.

Another deal that looks to be a good move for both teams, provided that Cutler progresses as expected.
