We all know Buechele is making the roster - the question really comes down to are we going to eat a roster spot for a 3rd QB.

Piggybacking onto this, Gabbert's entire cap hit is guaranteed. We'd be paying that amount of money regardless of if he's on the roster or not. For that reason and the new 3rd qb dress rule, I feel like he's very likely safe.
