The good news in all of this is that it looks as though the coaching staff can develop a QB. I know they've considered drafting a backup the last couple drafts and they probably should even if they keep Browning 1 more year.
Having a capable backup for cheap for 4 years is better than losing a capable backup due to the unwillingness to pay more than vet minimum. Especially if the backup may see time here and there over the next couple years, and has good showings that catch other teams attention.
I know the league is a cut throat business, but if Browning has a chance to compete for a staring spot at 28 (next year), then why hold him back from that. Will he force the issue? Maybe not, but getting something for him to give him his shot elsewhere is a feel good story for him. FO doing right by him if opportunities arise after he led them to the playoffs would be a honorable move.
