Quote:The one thing that came to mind as I watched the game last night was why bother keeping Henne? Allen is good enough to lose a bunch of games miserably, as Henne would do if he were ever required to go into the game, and he'll be cheaper and have a possibility of improvement with time in the league.

 

Plus then we can get to see the feeding frenzy as everyone in the league jumps at the opportunity to sign Henne.

 

I am coming around on this issue.   Are we screwed if we lose Blake anyway?   So if we can make do with 2 QBs, Bortles and Allen, which player can we then keep and not have to cut?   A WR?   A DT?   If we cut or trade Henne, does that mean we can keep Michael Bennett, for example?  

 

It's hard to justify keeping 3 QBs if your 3rd QB looks about as good as your 2nd QB, and you have some very difficult decisions to make at the bottom of the roster.  

 

Plus, there's that $4 million that we would save if we discarded Henne.   I know we don't have any cap issues right now, but the money would get carried over and carried over to the point where it eventually would be very important.  Some day, we will come up against the cap, and this would mean we were $4 million better off.
