Broncos get an "FU" from Jake the Flake

The Broncos were all set to trade Jake Plummer to Tampa Bay for a Fourth Round Pick...

However Raider-hating Rumor Mongerer Adam Schefter is reporting that Plummer has decided to retire nullifying the deal.

This is one of those rare occurances where two sports sources are conflicting. Taking Schefter's closeness to the Broncos, I am taking his word and retiring to nix a deal after giving the Broncos no indication that he would is something Jake the Flake would do.

For the record, I always like Jake and defended him while he was here, but if Mike Shanahan thought John Elway screwed him by retiring after the draft, then he can't be liking Jake Plummer today.

Update: The ESPN story now acknowledges the retirement possibility
