The odds of a 'veteran backup' who's never operated in Andy's system being better than Litton are pretty remote.
As for Daniel....ugh - I really don't have much interest in paying him $4 million. And the Bears would give him to us for a 7th in all likelihood given that he appears to be a likely cut candidate.
Nah, I'd let him get cut and offer him something like $1-2 million to return. Then I'd probably cut Henne with an injury settlement as I think Daniel's probably a better option here anyway. But I wouldn't give $4 million for him.

Daniel was my first choice. I don't like paying that, but it is what it is. They can't go into the year with Litton or Shurmur as the backup.
If Mahomes goes down for something long term, fine, throw one of them out there. It wouldn't matter.
But if it's a game or a half, they need someone respectable.
