Where does Chad End Up? Buffalo?

[patmoran2006]

WIth Chad about to get released, where do you think he ends up?

Obviously, it isn't going to be Buffalo unless we were to cut/trade Losman. I'd like some thoughts on that.


I got him pegged for three teams.. Minnesota or Chicago if he wants a chance to start.. if he ends up having to take a backup role, I think it's clearly New England.

[SquishDaFish]

Vikings

[njsue]

Probably Miami since Bill Parcells drafted him.

I am more concerned about the market for JP now. With Pennington now an FA, if a QB goes down in camp, would Pennington be the easy fix or is Losman that much better (potentially?) than Pennington to warrant trading for JP?

But to answer your question, I cant see NE rolling the dice on Chad, at least not at this time. They seem to be high on their 3rd stringer over Cassells so signing Chad would only serve as a detriment. They dont need inside info on the Jets as they probably still have the videotapes :)

I cant see him starting in Minny. They are too high on Jackson. Chicago is definately a possibility as is the Panthers if DelHomme does not return to form.

[OpIv37]

dear lord I hope he doesn't end up here.

[Crisis]

that would be HILARIOUS if he went to Miami...

oh man that would make my week

Why, if nothing else he's better than what they have now.

[raphael120]

Pennington or JP....hmmm....can we use that bag of hockey pucks analogy in football?

[Crisis]

i'd say hes what they have now in about 6 years.

I honestly dont think there was a market for Losman to begin with.. I'd bet Buffalo explored trading him when he said he wanted out this offseason.. and I definitely don't think they'd trade him this late into the summer.

The only scenario I could see if his thumb gets any worse; that may facilitate the need for the Bills to get a good backup.

Personally, I would love if NE brought in Pennington. I always felt the guy was underrated as a QB. Granted, his lack of arm strength limits the field somewhat, as he struggles with throws outside the numbers.

However, you can win with the guy. He is a great game manager, accurate on his throws and has great timing on his passes. If he had a stronger arm he would be a superstar, but as it is he is a reliable QB you can win with, and what more would you want in a backup?

If a starter went down, i think there could have been a market for Losman. despite his downfalls, I think he can still be a serviceable QB and maybe a 1 year transition QB to some teams that have a youngster in the wings. Like Dilfer with the Ravens

Parcells has already reached out to his agent, according to this article:

He'd probably be a starter in Miami.

[Bling]

I would love for him to come to Miami. Cut John Beck! The guy simply wins games. I don't give a crap about how he floats the ball, he's pinpoint accurate, and gives this team the best chance to win. He'll also provide a veteran to help Henne. I think Pennigton could also cut down on Henne's gunslinger mentality.

[trapezeus]

wonder if the bucs have interest in pennington. pennington could probably do better in a dome stadium and warm weather than say chicago.

But last year, his arm looked the weakest it's every been. He literally had no zip on the ball and t he DB's just salivated everytime he threw that out pattern.

Losman still has more upside to Pennington since pennington's two surgery's have left him completely weak armed. Losman's value is much lower than pennington's though. Why? Pennington is credited as a smart QB with little talent. if you were desperate and needed an Emergency QB, i'd take the guy who could learn the plays in a few days over the guy who has never been able to grasp a system. If it was April May, Losman has the higher value because you could argue that you can reach him.

[DrGraves]

Duh. we won't even resign our own best player. No way we go after Chad.

[patmoran2006]

Duh. we won't even resign our own best player. No way we go after Chad.dont say resign.. say "redo". The board will get nuts

[Bling]

The only problem is he wouldn't be able to help Ginn's numbers at all. He'd love a big target like Wilford and Hagan, his first WR's over 6 EVER. He could also have Fasano put up big numbers.

[DrGraves]

With that being said, I hope our focus is on signing our own guys.

[Mr. Pink]

Retired.

At least that's what Chad should do.

Cut your second round savior already??? Wow.

[Ebenezer]

I am more concerned about the market for JP now.

Market for JP?? Favre was just traded for a conditional 4th round pick. There is no market for JP. He is worthless.

I think there would be for a team who loses their starter in preseason and does not have a servicable backup

And the compensation would be what? Yeah, I'll take a 7th but that might be all you get. The Favre trade set the market.

[justasportsfan]

good. I'm sure Lee and the others would rather have JP as the back up in case Trent goes down.

Uhhh...cut it out Parcells...stop making the Dolphins a better team!!!


Source: Dolphins inquire about Pennington (http://www.palmbeachpost.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/palmbeach/miamidolphins/entries/2008/08/07/source_dolphins_inquire_about.html)

With Brett Favre now a New York Jet, Chad Pennington is now available to the man who drafted him in 2000.

Bill Parcells and the Dolphins haven’t wasted any time reaching out to Pennington’s agent (http://www.palmbeachpost.com/dolphins/content/sports/epaper/2008/08/07/0807pennington.html), Tom Condon, an NFL source said.

To make room for Favre and his $12-million contract, Pennington, 32, will officially be released at 4 p.m.

Given the Dolphins situation at quarterback during training camp, Pennington could land in South Florida.
