The question is how much money will they have to pay Pryor to re-sign him after this year?
If they had signed a rookie QB, they would automatically get him for four years on a rookie contract. Signing Pryor gives them just one year, and then the uncertainty of whether another team will offer more money in free agency or whether Pryor decides he wants to take less money elsewhere in order to compete for a starting spot.
And why add a QB at all when Tavaris Jackson likely has three or four good years left and has already shown the loyalty and willingness to take less money to be a Seahawks backup?
They must think very highly of Pryor. Unfortunately, I do not.
It's not your money, people that are paid a lot of money are making this decision, they have done ok doiung that so far since we have Super Bowl to show for it.
Second he was showing progress in a lousy situation, he has been humbled as only a player can be that has been benched as he was.
I also think given Petes ability to relate with players that we may let him work at QB and since TJack is on a one year deal tell Pryor that the door is open to compete at QB, but the door is a lot bigger at TE and WR to play now, that working on those skills along with QB will secure you a spot if you can devote yourself to playing one of them. This will give you playing time now and a chance to compete with Russell next year if TJack wants to move on as well.
I can see a formation where Michaels is spread or coming out of the Backfield, Pryor at TE, Harvin in the Slot and Rice or say Lockette if here on the other side and someone saying go and who do you cover.
