Tre Ford

It seems everyone assumes he is moving on from EDM.

That's a pretty reasonable assumption to make considering he was due a hefty bonus on Sunday.

It seems everyone assumes he is moving on from EDM.  Is there any reason he couldn't end up back in Edm? 

If I'm him, why would I re-sign with a team that I already had a contract with, and who then went out and released me rather than honor the contract they negotiated in good faith?  Sorry my man, my bags would be packed within 20 minutes of getting off the phone.

You know, I know, Hervey knows, and Tre Ford knows, the contract that he was released from was a non starter.  Was never going to be honoured after the year he had.

No doubt, there were talks to renegotiate it to a QB2 level deal.  But why would Tre sign that without seeing if anyone would take a flyer on his as a potential QB1?

So, the contract is ended, and he's free to negotiate anywhere, even teams where his brother isn't playing.

If soemone wants him a better than QB2, they will pay him a deal better than what Hervey may have been offering to renegotiate to.

Or maybe no one has any interest in him at all, and the deal Hervey offered urns out to be the best he could get.  Hervey has more invested in him, and has an affordable QB1, so ne reason he can't give the best QB2 deal to Tre.

I'd take Ford in a second at a backup QB salary.

Unless he's taking a paycut to be QB2, I can't see him going there. The Lions already have a ton invested in their QB1.

Of course he has to accept his role as a #2 and a commensurate pay cut, but 6 games in half the teams are starting their #2 QB's and with Rourke running like a wild man, decent chance BC will be one of those teams.  Also as a short yardage QB Ford offers so much more than Chase Brice or Masoli, he brings athletic talent and unpredictability.

Didn't Chase look like he could read the defence somewhat when he got in?

I don't think Ford is that good at it, and we're not that good at teaching it.

Hopefully the next qb is already here.

He didn't throw a pass in a regular season game. So I'm not sure what to base that on one way or the other. He only dressed for 5 games.

Yes it's possible that we have a QB behind Collaros that will be a good one but we know the past odd/difficulty.  I mentioned I have hopes for Perkins after seeing him play in the UFL.
