You're assuming the Patriots let him go. He may have decided to try and find a place where he could be a starter. Also, the Patriots tried to force feed Rohan Davey the #2 position and that failed miserably.

Again, you don't know that he "LET" Huard walk. Huard could have walked of his own volition.

No, thanks. I'll pass.

Who said he wasn't good enough to stick with the Chiefs?

Huard would be brought in to be the #3 behind Walter. To allow Hoyer time on the Practice Squad.

Scott Pioli... A guy you would think would value a veteran presence with NEP knowledge on his roster...

And fyi he left over money. He went to KC having no shot behind Trent Green at the time but he got $1.5M per which was more than double what BB was willing to pay him for playing Manning on scout team.

Sign him for the week 10 game against the Colts, he does a wicked Peyton Manning impersonation in practice...
