Quote:Other than who? It's not like he had a lot to chose from. The best? who - Ryan Fitzpatrick?

 

Fitz is definitely better, but if Caldwell had resigned himself to someone of Henne's level then let the chips fall where they may and sign whomever is left over once the smoke clears at league minimum instead of acting like re-signing Henne before he could reach free agency for millions of dollars was somehow critical to the team.

 

It's not concerning that Henne was on the team, what was concerning was the urgency with which Caldwell felt the need to keep him on the roster.  His price would have dropped by the hour had Henne been allowed to flounder in free agency.
