Mallett is at the end of his rookie deal, so best case scenario is we get lucky and he plays great, and we have to pay $10+ million for a QB. At least if you get lucky on a rookie you get 3-4 years of cheap labor.
If he can be had for a 3rd (or better yet an extra 3rd we get in a trade down), and BOB likes him, then I guess I'm on board. But besides cashing checks signed by Robert Kraft, there is nothing to recommend him from a dozen other young NFL backups.
