"The Buccaneers have been contacting other teams this week to gage interest in their quarterbacks after putting off a decision to name a starter, according to league sources."

The "no decision" by Raheem Morris on the starting quarterback dilemma in Tampa has spurred a landslide of rumors.

The latest comes from Jason LaCanfora on NFL.com. His word is that the Buccaneers are calling around and seeing if there might be any takers, offering all quarterbacks not named Josh Freeman.

That would include Luke McCown, Byron Leftwich, and the young Josh Johnson.

"They sounded like they're willing to deal any one of the three, an executive said." LaCanfora wrote. "They're looking for someone to make the decision for them."

Ouch!

LaCanfora's twitter account announced:

"Tampa Bay shopping 3 QBs other than Josh Freeman. Leftwich or McCown could probably be had for a 5-6th rounder, which would end Bucs QB comp."

Decision or no decision, something will shake loose following Thursday night's home preseason game against the Miami Dolphins.

That being said, the lack of a decision has become a major topic around the league.

Matt Bowen of National Football Post, a former NFL player with a journalism degree, wrote his thoughts this week on NFP:

"I understand that Raheem Morris is a young coach and that this is the biggest decision he has probably ever had to make, but he's seen Leftwich and McCown since spring minicamp, throughout training camp and now through two preseason games. Plus, if you can't put your confidence in a quarterback, what does that tell the rest of the team? If Morris can't make a decision now, when can he? One game is not going to make a difference in the overall evaluation process.

"I am surprised that the Bucs haven't given the job to Leftwich, who gives them the best chance to win and delaying isn't doing the team justice right now."

Strong words from Bowen, for sure.
