However, Minshew isn't very good.  I would find someone better for our top backup.  I wouldn't sign Fitz.  Last year, he had an $8 million salary and I'm guessing he'll get something similar this year.  That money could be better spent on a starting position.  It's also likely a moot point as someone like Fitz wouldn't want to come here with Trevor Lawrence.  He'll go somewhere where either he can start or at least start initially until a rookie takes over.  I would target a backup quarterback in the $3-$4 million range.  I would target a veteran, but I think this "mentoring" thing is way over blown.  If he does that, fine, but I don't over pay for it.  We have a quarterbacks coach ("passing game coordinator") whose job is to coach Trevor Lawrence.  If that really isn't enough coaching, they can always hire an assistant quarterbacks coach (assistant passing game coordinator?).  Coaches don't count against the salary cap.
