Because teams look beyond today?
Because they saw that the kid has potential to be good, and wanted to try and develop that, rather than calling Mike Glennon for another go-round?
Because you want your receiver evaluation not to be marked with asterisks because the street FA you brought in throws nothing but wounded ducks at their feet?
Because they knew we needed SOMETHING to argue over now that we have a true franchise QB in place?

So sign him to a two year contract because you need more than two QBs in camp rather than bringing in some scrub that would come in for next to nothing for one year.

this is the equivalent of complaining that Tre Herndon got guaranteed money on his contract.

Would you rather Doug and Nate Sudfeld did the reunion tour? I mean, he was available at the time.

Why not take a stab at a guy who either has potential to be the future backup, or might net you something in return if he does prove that he can cut it at this level? It's nice to have options.
