Bills sign Derek Anderson to extension

Hope this doesn't come to be but....

 

Not sure if Anderson actually wants to play at all, so could see if say halfway through the year or so if Barkley or Allen were to get hurt, that would make Anderson the #2 guy by default.  Could see them instead cutting him and signing someone else. 

 

This deal was made to help Allen's development.   During the off-season, training camp etc, can see that being a big help. By next Nov or so, not sure there'd be as much benefit so could see them moving on if they need another QB.

If that actually came to pass, thats the least of their issues imo

Why not hire him as a coach then?

 

Save the roster spot for someone that can play and actually wants to play.

read what /dev/null wrote

 

I doubt Anderson makes the 53 man roster.

 

Call it camp fodder more or less.  bodies fly in and out during camp.

I hope you and /dev/null are right.  But Coach McDermott and Brandon Beane work in mysterious ways.  Nothing they do surprises me, so Anderson on the 53 is definitely a possibility.  Based on their love for anything Carolina, and the way the QB situation played out in 2018, I suspect Derek does.

Didn't see anyone posting his 2019 contract numbers.

1.1 million with 90k guaranteed.

Has a aged vet cap discount, his cap hit is 735k for 2019.

 

With $'s this low anything can happen with him between now and next September.

90k for his mentor services thru the summer is cheap.
