Another twist to that same thought pattern: I believe Rosie has 2 yrs. left (08 & 09) that being said he may still have value when teams see what they have in training camp. In that case, you need a starter and 2 backups who at least understand the system (via Mini-camp, OTAs and some portion of training camp). Better No. 3 is someone you saw potential in rather than just someone off the street (Boyd).
Besides, the Texans showed "class" with Carr via the release rather than a trade (for a late round pick) to a crappy team he wouldn't have had a chance with. So, maybe they do a similar thing with Rosie; potential starter + 2 years remaining on his contract = value. In that case the 7th (Brink) may turn into greater value (2-4 for Rosie) in someone you've had time to evaluate regarding starting potential. They pretty well know what they have in Gray and by the end of training camp Brink too. ......just a thought.
