Not rostering Ben saves 8.5 million with a release or a trade. Unless you start Mason Rudolph in 2020, that "savings" goes right back out the door for a tank QB.

A year from now the savings is $19 million.

If anything this is a year too early to consider.

I guess if a team, say the Bears, was willing to give you a bunch of 2020 and 2021 picks you thought you could bundle and get to the 2021 first overall, maybe? But what team that has a shot at the 2021 #1 is moving off that spot?

Even without Ben, you'd have to guy the rest of the roster to not accidentally win 5 games.
