Beck is on the roster, Rex is not. Beck only counts $600,000 against our shrunken cap.

I thought we should have given Beck a little more playing time last season. True, we had not scored for 3 weeks, but it was a lost season at that point and we knew what Rex could do already.

We do not want to be the Bears without a real backup, but we also do not want to invest much in one. If Rex is cheap enough and no one else wants him, sure, make the swap.

If anyone but RG3 is playing QB, it's going to be a huge drop-off no matter who it is.
