The issue is if he plays backup for us this year he may get a better offer and paycheck elsewhere to start next year. Which would mean we would get a comp pick in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th round in 2026. Also, sometime this year a team may trade us a 4th round pick or higher because they have an injured QB and need a replacement. 

Wow, for the second time in one day we are calling our management crafty right?

Lol, if a team wanted him they would have traded for him.  It's clear no team wants him as a starter.  He's not a secret lol.  I think he could position start in this league but other GMs don't or the would have traded a 5th or 6th for him.  Hes going to be a back up at this point and it's clear he lives it here un his home town.  A 2nd round comp pick?  Lol

Yea and there is no one on earth that would trade a #1 for someone else's backup QB that had only started one game.  Well except that happened here and Rob Johnson turned into a #9 pick. Also, no one would give Minshew a 2 year contract either. LOL !!!  Now, I don't see that happening here but, if you look I gave a range and if you do not focus on the extremes, either is plausible depending on the other team's needs. 

I feel it was just a very good use of a 6th round pick. Definitely seems to be an upgrade to the backup QB here. We will see in the next 2 games and better than the 3ed used for Ridley. Probably made possible by this being his hometown and the rep of our head coach. Depending upon Jone's future aspirations we probably agreed to not pick up the 5th year option.
