Quarterbacks! (NFL)

There are some interesting snippets out of the NFL today, and I'd like to touch on them here. I've got four (that's right, FOUR) interesting pieces to dissect, so let's go!

Bye bye, Nick Foles. The Philadelphia Eagles are set to release QB Nick Foles, paving the way for his jump into free agency. I think this is beyond stupid, as Nick Foles has FOUR more playoff wins than QB Carson Wentz, and oh yeah, a SUPER BOWL VICTORY. The Eagles are getting rid of the guy that won them a Lombard trophy, and keeping the guy whose back keeps giving out. Got it?

Kaepernick wants to cash in. Former NFL player and occasional pain in the ass, Colin Kaepernick, apparently approached the AAF about playing in their league. Problem is, he wanted $20-million to play, which is ludicrous for a guy who is nothing more than a sideshow freak at this point in time. He is in no way worth 20 cents, let alone 20-million.

Cardinals are confused. Arizona doesn't seem to know what to do with QB Josh Rosen. They say he's their number one guy for now, but have made rumblings at the combine with some scouting. Also add to the fact that they are trying to put the short-lived Sam Bradford era behind them, and you have one very directionless franchise at the moment. Can't say I'm surprised.

The Raiders said what? Apparently, the Raiders are completely committed to Derek Car as their starting QB for the foreseeable future. Even though he is very inconsistent and injury prone, he is their man. Raiders personnel have been quoted as saying they "Aren't interested in drafting a QB." in the upcoming draft, preferring to stick with Carr. Aaaaand......the mediocrity continues in Oakland.
