Do they think that they have the answer to why that player didn't get it done on his previous team, it's going to turn the franchise around and bring back the fans?
I'm serious, why do teams do this? It's like buying something from someone that you know is going to be putting it on the curb the next day.
Why? It makes no sense to me. Is it because I'm just a fan and not an expert football mind? Just show me the logic in it. All I've seen from it is wasting time while other players prime is used up.

High quality veterans don't hit the market every day. You find a QB you like and you go get him. In this case you have a qb multiple teams are bidding on. That has the most to do with it. It worked with garropolo and cassel. But the Chiefs don't have to cut him and they can stubbornly take his cap charge and wait for a qb to get injured to trade him away. So for a team that wants him at training camp immediately to learn the playbook, they'll be motivated to make that deal quickly.
