Well, that's surprising. NFL teams baffle me.

Sign the beast.

Now what does this say about the crowd raging that Belichick was too stupid to trade Hoyer for a pick?

Well, apparently that $1.9M salary was a bigger deal than we thought. It not only got him cut, but made him go unclaimed. I think he'll be a Chief.

As said several times, by the afternoon of Monday September 10th - after 2-3 QB's go down with injury in game one - they will be calling him.

His value wasn't now. It was Monday September 10th.

You really shouldn't be baffling at all. Paul Parillo from PFW told the story that he asked Hoyer why he signed his RFA tender so quickly (given there was supposedly so much interest in him). Hoyer told him that during the time before he signed, he didn't get a single call from a team...ZERO interest. So he and his agent decided to sign the tender and play this year for the $2MM. Little did he know.

Just another example of a fan base who overvalues their own players,. Everyone thought Kafka was another back up QB the league loved, yet he too went unclaimed. The truth is that everyone thinks "their" guy is the guy everyone wants. Well there were over 700 players that were waived on Friday. I'll be surprised if 10 were claimed.

I don't think when he is cut that anyone has to pick up the existing contract? Not sure. As the previous poster said when there is an injury or 2 he will get picked up.

We just have to try to evaluate them the best we can."

Anyone who had claimed him off waivers would have had to pay the old contract. Now, they can sign him to whatever deal they can agree to.

They do on a waiver claim. Now, though, his old contract is kaput, and he can be signed for any amount.
