This is shocking. A lot doesn't add up here. The most compelling scenario is that Quinn was told he'd be the backup as soon as they traded Sage. But then they didn't trade Sage. So either a) Gray made himself look bad so he could get cut b) went to the Texans and demanded to be let out of his contract or c) the Texans saw no need to pay him that sort of coin to be the third-stringer and the "fit" they are referring to is their salary structure, not his on-field abilities.
There is one way it makes sense. I've often wondered whether Jacksonville's offense just isn't very sophisticated and perhaps Gray was overwhelmed by the playbook when he got here and just couldn't adjust to it. J-Ville's playbook has often struck me as being rather basic and they just expect the talent to make it work. It might explain why they have so many players who don't live up to their potential (see their #1 receivers) while others come from nowhere and play great.
