He's a mediocre-at-best QB that's been ditched by two teams now. Carr got $3 million a year. If Rattay is worth $2.5 million a year now (which we can't afford in 07 by the way), then why would a guy like him be worth anything more than $2.8 or so next year?

I think we know enough about Rattay as a player to pinpoint his career path. He's right in the prime of his career right now, and should he get a chance to start down the stretch, is good enough to put together a solid career. He's one of the 32 best QBs in this league.

Any player who fits all that criteria next year will certainly be a hot commodity. It's a complete fluke that with all those teams that have crappy QBs, Tim Rattay is not a hot commodity.

This is a rare, sizable market deficency and we would be wise to exploit it while the oppertunity is still available.
