Ian Rapoport on Twitter: "The #Lions are signing QB Teddy Bridgewater after a recent visit to Detroit, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. A new backup QB. https://t.co/pRA6EqMi5Q" / X

 

I guess the Dolphins are fine with Mike White as the backup. He probably will have to play this season. I doubt Tua stays healthy all year.

For some reason, I am inspired to go watch a 'Little Rascals' original. 🤔
 

That's Mike 'Ribs of Titanium' White to YOU, mister. 🤨

Isn't there anybody out there better than K. Allen and Barkley? Beane should consider drafting a mid round QB to groom as a above average backup to Josh.

At this point of the off-season, no. Those cupboards are pretty bare. There's a couple guys people have "heard of" such as Carson Wentz or Matt Ryan, but neither are a likely answer. 

 

Beane did draft a QB in the 5th a few years back. Jake Fromm. That...didn't work out so well. 

 

At this point of the off season the most likely choices for the Bills if they feel they need an upgrade would be either a trade or to watch the waiver wire and see if anyone comes available. In the case of a trade, finding a quality backup that has a contract they can work with becomes an issue.

Gabbert is in KC. Mariota is in Philly. Can't remember who Cincinnati signed off the top of my head but it was a decent backup as well.

Do you mean Chad Henne? The backup QB that seems to keep the Chiefs’ offense moving whenever he comes in?

They signed Trevor Siemian this off season, but last year it was Jake Browning. The Chiefs had Chad Henne for the last two years and he played well in injury mop-up duty. He won that playoff game against the Browns two years ago. I liked the Bills situation the last two years much more than this year.

No, I mean Blaine Gabbert who signed to back up Mahomes earlier in the off-season to replace Henne, who retired.

Siemian! That's right.

Oh I didn’t know Henne retired. Excellent news! I was tired of him bailing out the Chiefs 😂 One down, Kelce’s next.

Carson Wentz anyone? He is still out there. Give him a try out at least. League minimum if he looks decent.

 Wentz has tricked more teams off of one season of game tape than OJ Howard. 

There's also been reports that he's unpopular wherever he goes. Why bring that in here for a backup QB who isn't that much better?

He would have been a huge upgrade over what we have. Wonder how much he got

Let’s settle down the Henne played well. He had 23 yards on 7 attempts. 
 

But he didn’t completely crap himself I guess. But that easily could have cost them a SB. I just don’t get why these teams settle on backups.
