Ok, it's a convoluted conspiracy theory, and not a good one, but here it goes:
The FO doesn't want to pay starting money for a backup (L J)
they bring in MW in hopes he will be effective as a backup (less money and some upside)
they let L J's agent know that there is a potential starting money available to keep him from signing somewhere else
Zorn at this point wants MW gone, but has to prove it to himself and the FO
He puts him in against the Ravens D assuming he will get a good look.
two things could happen:
a) MW succeeds, everyone happy
b) MW fails
Zorn says we need a diff OL and it needs to be L J
Cerrato and Snyder sign Levi Jones
many people happy, feel bad for MW
Really this whole thing is a contrived way to get LJ, or an equivalent player, here to back up Samuels. I am not really thinking RT, Heyer/Bridges will be covering that this year. Buges in one interview said pretty much the same thing, don't stress RT, but he needs a backup for Samuels.
