Hoyer is a RFA next year. Mallett wouldn't make it through waivers. But you nailed the Brady part...

Probability of trading Hoyer this pre-season >>>>> Probability of trying to "sneak" Mallett on to the PS

You have GOT to be kidding me citing The Hammer as "one of the last cuts" :eek:
A major WTF
It's one thing not to be game day active, totally another to consider the utter insanity of trying to waive this guy to the PS.
Consider the dearth of QB talent in our own division, Buffalo and Miami never mind throughout the league. Writers need to learn something about the NFL before writing.

This...........

If Mallett has a good preseason and picks up the system, I think it's much more likely to get a trade involving Hoyer then to try to sneak Mallett to the PS. Hell, I'd even say that there is a better chance of carrying 3 then risking waivers with the kids.

If they try to release him to the PS, then I would say it's a clear indicator that BB smells a bust and has no long term interest in him.

I'll say what you guys have said. "Practice squad"?? Does this writer understand how the PS works? And how it would be basically impossible to slip Ryan Mallet onto ours? I feel a little bad here. That suggestion makes this writer seem kinda dumb.

Can't wait for next weeks RB preview, where we learn that Laurence Maroney is 'no sure thing' to make the roster.

I misunderstood the meaning of it. I take responsibility for that. I was under the impression those guys weren't free agents and property of the team. No reason to get hostile... honest mistake.
