Thread: List of free agent Quarterbacks - What is plan B if Osweiler doesn't sign?

Someone may pay him a big contract but it would not be a good idea for Denver to be that team at this juncture.

Wouldn't even surprise me if the Texans throw the bank at Brock, and the Texans will be handicapped by his contract. I won't blame Brock if he takes the money, but how have teams not learned from situations like Ryan Tannehill...

He made strong pin point throws to receivers 15 yards down the sideline and I thought he showed great composure during his brief time as a starter. I was impressed. If the bengals are serious about Andy dalton which I think they are, they'll have to let aj go, why not get something out of it? I'd spend a 3rd rounder on him over the free agent qb's (outside of Brock and fitz)

They don't have to let him go, though. As we saw through our Super Bowl winning season.... having a good guy behind the starter is paramount for getting through the season.

Ironically... we are willing to give up a 3rd round pick, AND salary (10?) for a guy that has even less starts and less learning time in the NFL than Brock does.

Well Aj will eventually leave the bengals in pursuit of starting somewhere. Instead of letting aj walk why not getting something in return. And I don't think it'd be hard to pry AJ out of the bengals hands. It's just a better option than what's out there in free agency.

I can't see AJ staying in Cincinnati behind Dalton forever.

That overall pick would be the 8th pick of the 6th round this year. Therefore, he wouldn't be undrafted, he'd be drafted by the Bucs.

Actually, the NFL had 8 rounds for only 1 season, 1993.

It changed to 7 rounds + compensatory picks equaling the number of teams since 1994.

You asked when it went from 12 to 8. The answer to that question is 1993.

+ 32 compensatory picks.

Not in Plan A territory anymore.

Yeah pretty much.

I'd think the Broncos would trade for a Vet QB with some experience and also draft a QB in April. Let the Vet QB start while Semien and drafted QB develop. Unless Elway has IDed a QB he can draft and start Day 1?
