I don't think this is a move that says we are worried about Weeden. I think it's just a move to have a backup for Weeden, since he'll be starting for nearly half a season and will need one.
It doesn't worry me as much, since it was a 2017 pick. I was afraid we had traded a 4th for Cassel in some kind of desperate move for an alternate QB if Weeden fails. I'm still not sure he's better than Moore, but it's just easy roster shuffling at this point.
He actually had a really good game against Philly, but he cannot stay healthy so we can start getting the young guys some run.
I want to believe it is just that, but it is rather bold to do to absorb his cap charge and trade a pick away for insurance if you really believe the rhetoric about how much you love Weeden and how thrilled you were to get Moore.
I thought buffalo cut him and resigned him to a lower number... no?
They did. But I think they signed him back for a two million a year savings.
It's absolutely indicative of what they think about Weeden. What team on this planet gives up a 5th for a 3rd string QB when other "bus drivers" are out there for free? It's silly.
If that's the case then Cassell should be starting in a couple of weeks regardless of how Weeden performs. Guess we will see how that plays out.
A QB who was basically available for free a couple weeks ago. It was a purely panic move on the Cowboys part. And come the end of this season I can promise we will all regret it.
Regret? Nah. Just chuckle and laugh at how desperate and futile it was.
We will regret losing that pick.
My God, the drama over a late rounder. Had we just taken a QB with that pick, the expectation would be nothing more than a developmental backup anyhow.
Yep...overly dramatic.
What will we regret?
