I love these headlines as if Alex is going to have his "choice of teams" willing to pay $8.5m for a back-up QB.

Well, I think that teams that don't have a QB would be willing to pay that much for the contract because it's basically a one year trial. Especially if the trade is after March 14th (7.5 only). Alex was 20th in pay, even with a worse team, I expect him to be at or above that. Depending on the coach, they might feel they can get something from Alex (though their teams are worse).

But then to have to give a draft pick, it adds to the cost. Add in that the Niners, if Rappaport is right, have said they will cut him early if there are no trade partners, why trade? I could see if they didn't want to wait until April 1st, but before March 14th? I'd say wait.

But we need these headlines and we need York saying that we could keep him, to get all the 1% we can in trying to get a draft pick for him. They should be talking a bit behind the scenes at some point to drive anything we could get, up.

IF Alex gets a choice, hypothetically, I'd want him to pick Kansas City. Out of conference, have some running and some pro bowl players, and Reid. Not saying he'd succeed or Reid would pick him, but that's where I'd want to be. Then, Philadelphia, where it's a bigger stage (not saying he'd want to be there). Let him sink or swim, but I'm not confident. I'd like to feel he actually took a chance, rather than not. Then, Cleveland because of Norv and they've not even given the coach-speak support of Weeden. Then, Arizona and Jacksonville - haven't really divided them up because while AZ has a defense, it's oline is bad. Never have paid much attention to the Jaguars.

Pay $8.5 for a back-up QB to start for a one-year stop-gap period? Perhaps

From, I'm guessing Pozz's link:

Anthony Allen, exclusively a special-teams player, had to gather himself in the middle of his tale about a family member who apparently doesn't pay close attention to football.

“It's crazy for me but, somebody told me, ‘If you get the MVP trophy, you got to let me touch that,’” Allen said, who has just 16 carries for 61 yards in 19 games this season. “What am I going to do, get three fumble recoveries on special teams and return them all for touchdowns?”
