I am not against sitting on his rights until someone really needs a QB or until next offseason. There is no benefit to trading him now for a reduced return. He is a good backup, that can win games. If he became the long term backup to Trevor, that would be just fine as well.

If you trade him now, you also lose the opportunity that he shows improvement in the preseason. I don’t think his value will decrease, but I could see it spiking dramatically if he plays well in the preseason, early in the year, or in a spot start due to injury.

Essentially, he has value to the team now and may be very desirable to another team before next years trade deadline. He also doesn’t cost anything significant to keep.
