I would guess the two sides couldn't agree on $$$ for a multi-year deal. There were several reports that Rivers per year asking price was higher than what they were expecting. Ballard might have told him - OK, I'll give you that money (maybe a little more) on a one year deal.

This just means that hopefully we will only have to cheer for the dude for one year, LOL

I was thinking the same. Do they try to trade him or release him?

Brisset probably has to go. I would be surprised if they pay two backups that much money. I also bet this Rivers thing is a year-to-year thing.


We likely draft a QB this year or next year. Later round guys could be Eason, Hurts, Fromm, Gordon. All have warts.
  • Eason probably has the most raw potential/highest ceiling, but could also bust bigtime.
  • Fromm should be a coach, smart QB, little talent.
  • Hurts I heard was improving a lot this off season and has gotten better. He also has the mental make up and leadership you want in a QB. I've heard him comped to Tyron Taylor.
  • Gordan is ehh. Fast release, thats about it.


Or maybe we just don't like any guys this year. Trade back into 1st for Love?

Do you think they actually have confidence in Kelly for the future? He's still on the team for some reason.

No need to release him. They will be able to trade him, if they want to.

Probably not, the guy was a 7th round pick wasn't he. I wouldn't get my hopes up. Future XFL starter.
