But if you’ve settled on Kelly as the backup and you’re not sure, but you think you might sign Hoyer, it still doesn’t make sense to waste a PS spot on Walker. As you said, he was off and on all year last year. He’s not going anywhere.
Put a guy like Gerri Green on the practice squad instead wasting a spot on Walker, a guy who isn’t sniffing any other roster. Instead, Walkers on the practice squad and Green is scooped up by New England.
It’s just weird and I think a telltale sign of how they view Kelly and Walker.
