Bennett is not any sort of factor. If they liked Wilson they could have picked him up and cut Bennett. Have a nice presser for him like they did for Tavon to make him feel all warm and fuzzy inside as they move on to a QB with a potential starter future.
Seems like it to me as team only kept 2 QBs on the active roster the prior season. How do we judge or interpret between the lines of not cutting Bennett and putting him on the practice squad? Were there not better options available besides Wilson? Snead wasn't going to have a 4th round QB he personally targeted cut after his rookie season after the grace the organization gave him for his issue.
The fact they kept Bennett tells us they are focused on future roles. Otherwise Bennett is cut and on the PS.
We don't know, but do you really think another team would have signed Bennett and kept him on their active roster? He probably could have still been there for the future role on the practice squad.
In McVay's mind there must not have been. Bennett has some comfort zone I am sure, but I have to think he would jump at the chance to secure a young QB of high pick pedigree as Wilson had.
Yeah. We have to disagree on this one. I still say that we just don't know. The team isn't in a vacuum and just because the team may want someone doesn't guarantee that they can get him for their price. A deal not getting done doesn't mean there isn't interest.
Would there be savings after such deals?
They weren’t cutting Bennett after floating him his entire rookie year. And not only did Denver trade for him, they paid him 2.7 mill to sit on the bench.
Disagree. Wilson was a high draft pick. Jets overdrafted him but he's got talent. If the Coach who coached him in NY said good shit about him they would have made it happen.
Guess we'd have to add an a little over a half million to the salary cap for dumping Bennett, too.
I can 100% see this.
Sign which guy? Matt's already signed.
Something just occurred to me.
