What makes a backup QB trade happen

To me this is why NFL teams love to get guys still on their rookie contracts.  McCarron will make less then $700K this year.  So while trading for a guy with only about 100 career attempts is a gamble, money wise it is the safest thing to do, assuming you don't give up a first round pick.

Judging college QBs is very difficult.  Every year there are high draft picks that flop.  Some are drafted too high based on desperation, but even good teams have a hard time finding a good backup.
