Both QBs are at a point in their careers where they can embrace the back up role if they make the conscience decision.. If they do, and Duke/Zac feels good with them, I'd support signing them.

That said, I think Burrow likes Allen and I believe he's the backup QB for a few more seasons.

There are rumblings that Mariotta "quit" on the Falcons after being benched and didn't mentor or help their rookie QB.  It's not BAD person stuff, but any sort of locker room issues aren't worth bringing here if we are going to run things the way we do.

I don't see Wentz embracing a backup role, as he's been bent out of shape since Foles won the SB and he's been reported to be a pain to coach.  I just don't see why we'd throw our locker room harmony into turmoil by bringing either of these guys in.

I don't think we're desperate as a franchise anymore, so brining in guys who quit or are hard to coach is a no-go if we're going to be the team-first franchise full of captains and leaders we claim to be, just my 2 cents.
