I like it. I also see that Trent Dilfer was released today - was due a half a mil signing bonus, cut him before they had to pay. I'm happy though. I feel more comfortable with either of these guys over Martin.

I don't think it matters who our backup is...if Brees gets hurt we are in trouble (knock on wood).

can't we find someone younger? Testaverde, George, Bledsoe, Jurgensen?

I like the pick and think that Brunell can run our offense for a game or two if Brees goes down.

I like the signing. He'll make a good backup and someone who can help develop Palko into at least formidable backup.

Man, this guy was great in his day; but he couldn't make some of the throws the last time I watch his with the Redskins

he was horrible with the skins...some of my family is from DC and it was painful to watch him play for them. i guess as a backup he's fine though...i definitely don't want to rely on him.
