I'd rather take $2MM or more of his salary and put it elsewhere and let Keenum/Savage/Rookie/Scrap Heap QB/Whoever fight it out for #2 and #3. I'm not saying I'd absolutely keep Keenum, but I am saying I'd absolutely cut Fitz or at least give him the pay-cut or walk ultimatum.

Believe it or not, I'm of the opinion that Fitz will likely have trade value by the end of the preseason. That's how poor the QB market is. Hell, the Bills just traded for Cassell......

Mallet will be the starter, and I still think we're going to have to over pay in order for that to happen.
