I wish some team would put my ass on the NFI list.

We could just go to camp, launch a football that flutters about 25 yards, then turn to the coach and insist that we were throwing 60 yard rockets yesterday and slept on it wrong.
It was clearly a non-football injury that led to my staggering lack of talent. Now please, pay me 500K. I love this plan, I'm excited to be a part of it! Let's do it!

none of you are allowed back on the Bray train. Your passes were revoked a month ago when you all jumped off for Aaron Murray and completely wrote Bray off. False Bray supporters shall not be acknowledged.

there's only 1 reason NOT to do this, if they are too cheap to pay his $500k this year. otherwise, he's safe on the NFI list for a few weeks, nothing future guaranteed, either cash or cap, so why not? (edit: with him injured, we are on the hook for something as an injury settlement anyway)
i see this as one of two ways - 1) they still believe he has solid potential, combined with chase daniel contract expiring, we are looking at murray and bray to compete for 2/3 spots next year, not a bad thing there, or 2) they sense somebody is sniffing around on bray, and don't want to release him. this locks him up even just short term at a minimum, so if somebody truly wants him to develop on their own, they gotta throw us a bone. |

I like that we have Bray and Murray developing. What a horrendous situation to be in...

I just don't see any reason, at all, for this...

There is that very slight chance that the front office knows something you don't...

Bray's got talent, the question is, can Andy Reid develop him?

Do you need one?
Look at it this way - we're not extending Daniel next year, right? And Murray's almost certainly our #2 next year, yes? So some how, some way, we'll be looking for a #3 QB next season. Do you think the odds of us drafting one in the first 2 or 3 rounds are good? Okay, lets say they are and we do - done and done. Bray has no guaranteed money, we cut him and move along with Smith, Murray and our new QBOTF. Personally I think those odds are pretty long, so let's assume we're drafting one in the 4th or later. That guy will be the same lotto ticket that Bray is, he almost certainly has less raw talent and he's going to be a little more expensive because you don't get the cap discount that comes with the more veteran players. SOMEBODY is going to be the #3 quarterback next year so it can't be a cap/money issue. And if they get someone they like MORE than Bray, they'll cut Bray with no risk to anybody so it can't even be a roster space/talent issue. It's a really smart, forward thinking move with absolutely no downside. The upshot is that Bray develops like people insisted he would a mere 5 months before he was a UDFA and we get to keep him for that. I just don't see what the fuss here could possibly be.

Even if he only becomes a serviceable backup, this is a good move IMO. Hopefully he has showed this regime that he has some potential, even if it's not to be our qbotf. A serviceable backup is still a good thing, especially as an udfa.

He has all the physical tools. He just needs refinement. Worst case he doesn't work out and counts like 0.5% to the cap.
Best case we show him off and get a draft pick for him from some desparate team. That's not likely to happen though

Reid lauded him as the most improved player on the team last season.
Pretty sure they like him. Didn't think it was a secret. |
