Now my theory gets tested.
This was the Steelers QB Depth Chart in 2017: Ben Roethlisberger, Landry Jones, Joshua Dobbs.
This is the Steelers current QB Depth Chart: Mason Rudolph, Devlin Hodges, Paxton Lynch.
I assume the steelers prefer paxton lynch over landry jones
Jones is under contract with the XFL. Would be interesting to see if they would have signed LJ if he was a FA. But I think they prefer having a QB on the practice squad instead of the 53 at the moment.Quote:

I wouldn’t be surprised if the XFL contracts have a clause in them that releases them from the contract if they get an NFL deal.Quote:

SUPERBOWL!
The guy couldn't land a back up job on any of the other 31 teams in a quarterback hungry league. If we had resigned Jones my head would have exploded in frustration.Quote:

I'm fine with the team picking up Lynch, because they were picking the tastiest item they could find from the dumpster out back.
Yeah, I think Lynch is basically a poor mans Brock Osweiller.Quote:

Nope, teams are scouting every grocery store in Iowa nowadays. Have to branch out and start scouring South Dakota to find the next one. Anyways, onto San Fran.Quote:

Mayock and Charles Davis gushed over him at his pro day. The Broncos started him a few games in ‘16&’17 which ended in injury both years. I don’t know which truth will play out with him but I am excited the Steelers are giving him a shot. I think he can do well here.Quote:

I think he got injured in preseason too which didn’t help him. In Denver who has worked there? Following Elway, Cutler, Manning there’s a bit of a high standard most rookies just won’t meet. They have gone through a handful of possibles.

I had no idea. What brand of foolishness is his particular jam?Quote:

There was the time he got arrested for punching a bouncer and threatening to shoot up the place. He ran onto the field at his brother’s high school game when a scuffle broke out between the teams. And this one where he left Vonn Miller’s halloween party and went into one of the neighbor’s house and sat on the couch next to a mom and her small child. That’s some ‘Johnny Cash eating cake in the bushes’ crazy or high or both. You know about Colorado.Quote:

An undrafted rookie QB, I think I’d want to add someone else. They did activate him to the 53 man roster.Quote:
