Quote:I don't know that there are any. Generally the only way to get one is to be the first team to get its hands on them, because teams aren't stupid, and won't let a legit starter walk in free agency. To be clear, I agree with you, ranking backups is pointless. If they were starter quality they'd either be displacing the guy ahead of them like Brady did to Bledsoe, or they'd be getting traded since teams won't just let a starting quality guy walk.


Besides all of that, when a starter does manage to make it to free agency due to some kind of circumstance they won't be interested in backing up anyone anyway. So, while it's possible the Jaguars could get their hands on a starter for their backup at some point, they won't find one willing to sign in free agency.


I don't like the signing of Henne because I see it as wasting money, but I don't believe there would be a "better" prospect to be had in free agency, just possibly a more reasonably priced one.
