I think the Raiders tried to put a 4th round QB on their practice squad a few years ago. I can't remember his name.
I think that was after Palmer went to AZ, they traded for Matt Flynn, Matt Schaub, and drafted Tyler Wilson in the 4th and he didn't make it on the team and that was about it for his NFL career.
Ok, I looked him up and apparently he was on their practice squad because he was made the backup midway through the season, but never saw any action and was off the team after that 1 year. Hell, he was even an off-season member for us...that slipped my mind. So according to his wiki page he went from 1st overall projected pick as predicted by SI in 2013 to never throwing an NFL pass. Wacky.
Lordy, I hope for Finley's sake he isn't the next Tyler Wilson!
