Maybe a trade is still in the works, and he's just worth substantially less than most of us believed?
I think they just have a cap on what they are willing to pay him in free agency, and if someone else offers more, they now have the insurance to let him walk.
We'll probably end up with like a Brett Smith in the 5th or something. QB of the future! The next BRETT Favre.
I tend to agree except for the whole fact that New England just drafted their 3rd QB only a few hours ago. I think it would be difficult from NE's perspective to trade away Mallet until you had squirreled away a replacement. The talks may just now be beginning, for all we know. I'd bet against it, but I won't feel 100% confident Mallet won't be moved until OTAs begin. (Late May)
It ought to be a conditional 2015 pick that moves dependent on Mallets performance, and that should be the number of snaps taken. That's how I would do it.
Hey I wanted them to draft Carr with the 2nd round pick. I am just saying Keenum will have a fresh start
You shouldn't judge individual players based on team stats, especially when that team is in full meltdown mode after losing their first and second string RB, alienating their #1 WR, and their O line couldn't block for even a fraction of a second. Keenum might amount to nothing, but it won't be because of the team record at the end of a failed year.
If you believed he was worth a 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th or a conditional 7th, you overvalued that knucklehead. He's got a big time arm, but he has never been anything less than a hothead, and BOB doesn't have the stones to overthrow Bob, and Bob says no to guys like Mallett
