I do like the fact that's a new Pats QB- the systems look very similar...

He is our backup, you don’t sign a guy like that if you want him for two games. It makes sense. He knows Jacoby, so they should work well together in the QB room.

You sign Hoyer to be the backup, and if that falls through, THEN you sign Walker to the PS.

I’m thinking Kelly is not in the future plans either way.

they put Walker on the PS before they knew that'd get Hoyer which made sense (to have 2 Qb's for the first 2 games). after week 2, it's extremely unlikely Walker will be on the PS.

Put a guy like Gerri Green on the practice squad instead wasting a spot on Walker, a guy who isn’t sniffing any other roster. Instead, Walkers on the practice squad and Green is scooped up by New England.

It’s just weird and I think a telltale sign of how they view Kelly and Walker.

2 Qbs on the roster, one on the PS is not unusual. They need an extra arm for practice. Its not that big of a deal. Kelly comes back they probably cut walker.

Green chose to sign with the Cheats. I guess Green or his agent thought there is a clearer pathway to playing time with them. The Colts had hoped to sign Green to their practice squad.

Might get a ring just sitting on the squad. If your going to sit on one, might as well take that extra chance you win.

Who was cut to sign Hoyer?

The Colts waived S Rolan Milligan as the corresponding roster move.

Why shocked at what makes sense?

He plays well, and they can't sign him to an extention, they would be forced to put the franchise tag on him. He gave the Colts a big break.

$15M for a SB winning QB is not bad at all...

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 07:40 PM.
