Unlike Jay Cutler, Byron Leftwich is a guy who could play really, really well when we need him, without costing us an obscene amount of draft picks.

Plus, at age 29, he's not really a threat to Campbell as the future of the franchise, at least, not in the way that Snyder's ego is.

Right now, if Collins ever has to play for us, at his age, we're in deep trouble. Leftwich could hold down the fort if necessary. So I like a potential move from that perspective.

I don't like the timing of this, given that the last thing we need to do right now is anything to make Campbell feel like his job is being challenged. We could have done this last month.
