Short term deal would be optimal. Then you can draft a QB but don’t have to reach and even if you don’t get one this draft, you can get one next draft.
Part of the idea is to get a jump start on free agency and be a more attractive location for the FA's to sign. That makes a lot of sense to me.
It also means they won't be chasing QB's at the start of free agency like the other bad teams from last year. They can start talking to the best guys at other positions before other teams get to them.
