One random thought...the Raiders are carrying 4 QBs. Good lord that is stupid.
Yes but the difference is that Brady was a first year guy.Remember the Patriots' dynasty only exists because they decided to keep 4 QBs in 2000. Brady started the year as the 4th stringer, and had moved up to back-up by the end of the year.
Obviously, this is an apples-to-oranges situation, but QB is such an important position that it's worth holding on to them if there's even a remote chance they could become something.
The NFL'S fascination with Brian Hoyer bores me to tears

They have Mike Glennon, Nathan Peterman, and DeShone Kizer backing up Carr.
You know what Glennon and Peterman are at this point, garbage. Kizer is still intriguing, but there is no reason the Raiders should be keeping 3 QBs on that roster, let alone 4.
Peterman just went on IR, which explains the Kizer claim.One random thought...the Raiders are carrying 4 QBs. Good lord that is stupid.
Crazy how many players are holding out.
Compared to the other major sports, NFL players are definitely treated more like disposable parts than their contemporaries.
Patriots have been pretty fortunate over the course of their run. Has there been anyone who has held out aside from Mankins, Samuel, and Seymour?
Part of it is unloading these guys before they become a problem. Another key seems to be avoiding drafting skill guys early in the draft.
Why pay the likes of Leveon Bell, Melvin Gordon, or Zeke Elliot when you’ve already gotten the bulk of their value and production? By the time they hit their second contract, these guys are basically cooked.
