Bring back Chase Daniel?

ScottF · 04-03-2017, 08:19 AM

I really do not understand this signing. So Luke and Chase battle it out and the loser gets cut the last week with little chance of latching on elsewhere.

For all the hype that Daniel should be a starter somewhere, teams are looking at Glennon and Hoyer as much more expensive options, and Barkley, Keenum, and even Sanchez got more money and were signed before him.

Bottom line, we signed a 30 year old with exactly ONE career touchdown pass

That is a fair point. I guess the plus side is that we would actually have real competition for the backup QB position, not just a shoo-in. Maybe signing Daniel is more of an admission that it is strike three on Grayson.

cutting Daniel in August will count 900,000 vs the cap
cutting Luke will only count 250,000, plus we'd free up $1.5 million in cap space

Now I understand this signing completely.
The writing is on the wall, Luke, and it doesn't say "I am your father"

Hey I think Luke played pretty good when he spelled Brees. GG...Not so sure about him.

I agree. I was just doing the math.
There is just no way with our injury history that we keep all 3

Maybe Luke will be one of those June 1 cuts ... I guess we'll see.
