- Matt Hasselbeck- FA
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, free agent Matt Hasselbeck “is not expected to return” to the Seahawks in 2011. Fantasy Outlook: Hasselbeck falls into the Palmer and McNabb category, which is on the wrong end of 30 with the ego that thinks they can still lead a team to the Super Bowl. The veteran QB is a valuable weapon in the right settings (ie: Kerry Collins a couple years ago or even a Rich Gannon back in the day), but for now all three QB’s should accept the fact that a backup role wouldn’t be the end of the road, just a setback.

Apparently Miami Herald columnist Armando Salguero continues to insist that Carson Palmer is the Dolphins’ “favorite option” to supplant Chad Henne at quarterback, I disagree (see Hasselbeck)

A player of his caliber should help keep plays alive with his feet along with being able to hit the deep targets, namely Steve Smith. My guess is he remains in the baby blue for another season.
