ESPN just reported that Jeff Blake has been cut.

Anybody have a link, that's pretty stunning, I gotta believe there was a personality conflict, or Blake wanted some guarantee of playing time that Green wouldn't commit to?

Color me shocked I had him penned in as the starter.

What's the caphit?

This doesn't make sense. Not saying he would be on the roster come TC, but this is a head scratcher if true.

No cap hit, according to this:

...the $3.5 million for 2003, which represents Blake's signing bonus and base salary...

I'm more than a little surprised. This should be a wake-up call for the rest of the roster.

WOW!!!

Pretty bold move IMO. To cut a proven veteran (even though he had a bad year) to go with McCown or draft pick is significant.

I called my dad, and he was pretty excited about the move. He was saying at the end of the season, that if he were in charge, Blake would be gone. I thought that it wouldn't happen, but color me shocked (but please don't Color Me Bad)!

You can store it next to my Boston and T. Jones ones if youd like. :rolleyes:

Maybe he's busy escorting Jeff out of the building :D

If this is ture the means that another 2 million was just added to the FA pool.

I agree that cap-wise this wouldn't make a whole lot of sense.

This would be a real head scratcher for me too, if it indeed turns out to be true.

I'm not all that high on Blake, but I think he COULD be a very serviceable #2. (behind McCown :cool: )

This is surprising! Are they tipping their hand that they will draft a QB? Are they planning on signing a veteran QB?
