On Wednesday morning, the Packers traded Brett Hundley to the Seahawks. That deal is unlikely to be the last trade involving a backup quarterback, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). Mike Glennon of the Cardinals, Tom Savage of the Saints, and Joshua Dobbs are the Steelers are among the QBs being discussed by teams of need, Rapoport hears.
The Cardinals signed both Sam Bradford and Glennon in March, but the QB room changed dramatically in April when they drafted UCLA star Josh Rosen. Rosen may not be ready for primetime, but the Cardinals may feel that he is ready to be a capable No. 2 QB. Glennon flamed out in his one month as the Bears’ starter last year, but he would represent a QB2 upgrade for many teams around the league.
Savage has been long rumored to be on the bubble, but he is now firmly on the trade block following the Saints’ acquisition of Teddy Bridgewater. The Saints project to move ahead with Bridgewater and Taysom Hill as the backups to Drew Brees, leaving Savage without a spot in New Orleans. Savage, a former fourth-round pick out of Pittsburgh, entered the 2017 season as Houston’s starter, but he lost the job to rookie Deshaun Watson rather quickly. He finished the year with 1,412 yards and five touchdowns against six interceptions.
The writing has been on the wall for Dobbs ever since the Steelers used a third-round pick on Mason Rudolph in this year’s draft. Landry Jones is locked in as the backup quarterback and Rudolph is locked in as the No. 3, so Dobbs is clearly on the block.
Why do I have the feeling that this story is just a prelude to another Kaepernick or Manziel update?
Yeee
I really wish the Steelers would trade Jones instead of Dobbs, but Rudolph just isn’t ready to be the number 2 yet.
Landry is just… ugh
Same here. jones is mediocre at best.
Glennon drawing trade interest? If Phyllis Diller would play for less, sign her, not losing out in talent
Phyllis has been deceased for 6 years so it might be a bit difficult to get her signature on a contract.
They can do it in elections, why not NFL!
Yes trade glennon and save money!!!
I really don’t understand this fascination with Landry Jones being a lock. He’s won three games against the Browns but he’s had other games where he was horrible. He was so bad in the Cincinnati playoff game they had to cart Ben back out on crutches…
