Teddy is getting cut too.

He was only on a 1 year contract that could have reached $10 million. Skylar made under $1 million.

No way in hell. Teddy’s contract is done and so is Tua’s. He’ll have a Chase Daniel’s type of career.
Tua is in year three of a four-year contract with a fifth-year option.

Skylar will certainly have a chance to keep his backup role next preseason. I personally doubt the team drafts over him this year, given that their first pick (out of just five) will likely be in the 50s, and the prospects at that level are unlikely to help you immediately. Anything could happen, though.

They may be forced to draft another quarterback, but it won't be because of, or at the expense of Skylar. His performance today wasn't one that you can assess that he isn't a NFL quarterback. That offense, the line and the skill positions, were decimated. The media and team seem to be happy with how he did, so I'll take that as good. He could have gotten pulled and he didn't, that tells me at least he's third QB material right now.

I concur. He didn't light the world on fire, but he didn't allow the Jets secondary to win the game at his expense. That was always going to be the biggest threat, given the state of the Jets offense.

There is always a chance that Tua retires for his health - this offseason, or after the next concussion, or the next. If it happens in the immediate future, though, the draft will not be the answer - the team has to chase after a Garoppolo-level FA.

Sky is their back up moving forward. Period.

I really hope so, would be awesome for him.

At the beginning of the game, one of the announcers said Maimi's coach Michael Lee McDaniel told them he expects Skylar to stay in the game unless he gets hurt. He also mentioned Bridgewater was in practice this week and could play if needed. I don't think Skylar did anything that would justify pulling during the game. OT, did anybody see how many of the rookie QBs from the lower draft rounds started today and won.

he should look much better this week facing a depleted Bills defense, after surviving the snowbrag #1 ranked Jets D last week

Unlikely the 'Fins can win, but if Sky can make it competitive it will go a long way in securing his spot as QB #2 next year. Never thought I'd say those words.

Rooting for Sky as any purple blooded cat would do, but I also love the idea of the haters watch as my guy wins an NFL playoff game.

I mean he's the #2 now. Teddy was active last week and will be this week. Skylar has clearly passed him.

Who is Mike Glennon? This might be satire but Google search says he is a dolphins QB.
