2014 Offseason: Quarterbacks
Posted: Tue Jan 14, 2014 4:24 am
Gonna try and do a feature on this forum, going position by position. Redskins are expected to have around $33 million in cap space and will have a pick in every round except the first round.
Jay Gruden already said RG 3 will be the starter, and Kirk Cousins is entrenched as the back up. My hope was that Kirk would have shown enough in his 3 games that they could flip him and get a second round pick but that doesn't seem likely now.
That leaves the the third spot. With a new coaching staff, and a new system, having Grossman around is a waste of a roster spot. I could see them going after a QB in the draft, maybe a Zach Mettenberger (LSU), Aaron Murray, who tore his ACL and would b e worth the flier in the later rounds as someone they can develop. I just don't think they are going to after a vet QB. There's no point, he won't start and he won't be a back up.
QB Depth Chart:
1. RG 3
2. Kirk Cousins
3. Rookie QB/Vet QB
