I mean, can't we use that Henne slot to develop a young guy who could potentially build some trade value or something? Or is just dirt cheap?
Patrick is 27 years old next season with 6 seasons in the league, 5 as a starter and nearly 100 games played when you include the playoffs. He doesn't need a babysitter and probably gets little/no benefit from one at this point.
If that's the case (and I hope it is), I'd hope Giirardi is a guy we could use to actually develop a young backup. Then again, who's gonna be better at that sort of thing than Nagy and/or Reid at this point?

I actually would have loved an outside guy to give bring in new ideas. A big part of Reid’s revival in kc was forcing his coaches to throw every idea at the wall. For example guys from college have seen things a lot of nfl guys may have missed.
However I recognize that EB getting stuck created a logjam and it’s good to see guys unstick. Would love to keep Lewis but feel like a move to Washington is really good career wise. And with this move would love to see Dan Williams fill in for girardi.
