Quinn Gray

I heard this.....right before I got on an airplane, and it confused me as well. I really think there was a draft day deal for Rosey that fell through. They gave Quinny a looksie in OTA'a and then decided to let him go. Kubiak seems real worried about the 80 man limit for training camp without any NFLE exemptions...I think that played a part as well. He's probably not quite broke of his 3 QB habit and decided it would be better to let Brink and boyd battle it out. I think the idea is that Brink will be the project when it is all said and done....although they could put brink to the PS and let Boyd be the #3.

I'm wondering how much Gray thought the Texans were close to dealing Sage, too. I doubted that Gray would sign here to be the #3, and maybe once the trade of Sage fell through, he wasn't quite as motivated as when he thought he might be the #2.

Just speculation on my part, but Gray's signing and release are too close for us to just accept that he didn't "fit".

I'm curious to see where Gray might go next. I'm sure he'd be looking for a place where he could seriously challenge to be the #2, something that wouldn't happen in Houston with Sage still on the roster. Places that jump to mind for me are Buffalo, Minnesota, and New Orleans. As I alluded to earlier, a couple AFC South destinations would be interesting, particularly Tennessee and Indy. Since the Jags signed Cleo Lemon, I'm not sure Gray would have interest in returning to Jacksonville, but stranger things have happened.

The 80 man limit may mean that there will be some players available from other teams that may be worth a look. The Texans may be positioning themselves.

They still have 3-4 more cuts to make just to get to the 80, although this is taking into consideration all unsigned rookies signing by TC.

KJ3 I dont think that Gray would slack off just because he was set at 3 and fighting for a 2. You dont make it in the NFL with that mentality. Especially not a QB.

I am with you about the "fit" comment though. That would be some piss poor scouting IMO. Especially since they had plenty of NFL tape on the guy.

I think a lot of teams are having trouble adjusting to that 80 man roster limit going into training camp.
