I seriously doubt they keep three quarterbacks on the roster and another on the practice squad.  But that's just my opinion.
You could be right.  I think we'll see some team trade for Minshew.  However, I don't see them just releasing Minshew for nothing as someone had suggested if a certain trade level is not obtained.

Dude in the center has a little of that Gary Oldman from The Fifth Element vibe.

Here's a little more information regarding CJ's contract. The Jags have guaranteed him 2.75 million, which indicates they want to keep him around longer than camp:

If this dude turns out to be a camp arm, so be it. If he's the guy that takes Shew's spot on the roster, so be it. I don't want either one seeing any playing time this season, outside of killing clock in a Jags blowout win.

They'll have to play the last game of the season while we rest Trevor for his historical rookie playoff run and SB win

I believe the protocol is puff, puff, pass. Still waiting on the pass part, CJB blkranger.

I think straight up releasing him is a horrible idea. Like you said, we have him very cheap for 2 more years. If we can't get compensation for him, you cut Bethard, not Minshew

I am ok with letting them duke it out in the preseason. If Minshew isn't picking up the offense as quickly as Beathard, cost ain't in my consideration of who stays and goes.

Right. It happens all the time. Players sign FA deals and then get cut before the season starts

I see that his first year was guaranteed, that disqualifies my statement. And yes, lots of free agents sign and then don't make the roster, it's pretty common, especially guys like Beathard who is just a glorified camp arm. We've had a Mike Kafka, Trent Edwards, or Jamie Martin on the roster to be the "veteran maybe the backup/maybe not" guy.

True. Honestly, even if they keep Beathard, I think they're stupid to cut Minshew for nothing. I'd expect they keep 3 QBs on the roster before they just cut him. But who knows. My gut right now says there's either something in the works already or they expect him to voice wanting a trade.

Imagine drafting a running back with no wiggle and ankle problems in the top five.

I read that awhile ago and was like Meh.  He was alright but don't want him starting.

As a minimum wage backup with experience, I would take him over Wingard (....which doesn't say much).  I figure these guys are likely on the wrong side of the bubble to make the 53 roster anyway.

Hopefully Justin Houston or Aldon Smith. Baalke is the one that drafted Smith
