yeah, I was expecting a 2 year deal.

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

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

Rappaport said they plan to keep him

Christ Mortensen just said the same on ESPN. He said he talked to Ballard and he explicitly said he remains on the roster. Ballard said he never wanted to be caught again like he was with the Luck injury with no good quality in the backup position.

Wouldn't they still be there if they keep him?

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question......in my defense, I'm down with the flu and not thinking clearly.

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?
