I would like to know how much is actually against the cap. 4.5 million seems like a lot for a backup not sure if the competition will happen between him and fitzpatrick sounds like he will have competition between him and the rookie.

Wow, did not see that coming. Not a fan of the move either unless a rather large portion of that money is incentives. Even then, Jackson obviously is not the answer at QB.

Maybe teams will be less likely to trade above us to snatch a QB in the draft after this move, but I certainly hope he's nothing more than the #3 QB on the depth chart when the season starts.

It's not a bad move at all it's not amazing either. It's a bridge to move on from fitz and have competition for the rookie. FA qbs aren't any better, Flynn and smith weren't an option both were expected 7-8 million plus a draft pick, with fitz on the books for 10 million its not smart to invest in one of them. TJax is good in Marrone system which is run first.

It's a meh signing, he's a good back-up/spot guy. I think it'll work out alright, he's LIGHTYEARS better as a back-up than freaking Thigpen.

I just hope this is a sign that we cut Fitz.

I like this signing, he will compete with whatever QB we draft plus Corp and maybe another camp body.

I have to think Fitz is done now.

Corp is a camp arm just like he was last year. If he makes it past May I'd consider that a pleasant surprise.

I like it, just hope they still draft one or two quarterbacks as well.

What Marrone says right now i wouldn't take it to close to heart. I think he hasn't decided to keep him or not. With a potential of 4.5 million in a 1 year deal and paying fitz 13 million as well as looking at a rookie is way to much invested in all mediocre qbs. I expect fitz to be cut before his roster bonus is due

Don't like the move. I was hoping all our QBs would be replaced.
