Wasn't really healthy. Will come down to if he is now or ever can be again. Talent was never the issue

Idk if it was one or two ACLs but injury has been his problem as you know...back in July/Aug when he was here, and several other teams, Quinn was the only one that seemed to express continued interest...felt that he was close physical wise, but the real reason they did the deal now is his '15 salary is not guaranteed...had they signed him last week it was explained that his entire '15 salary would be guaranteed. Smart in case he can't contribute....I like the move.

Schraeder is still likely the starter @ RT this week
