You're spot on with this. But I can see a team that needs a QB taking advantage of this. Just for 1 year. Just think of a team with a pretty good roster that is not in cap trouble that is missing a QB. Russ is not what he used to be, but he's not garbage. They could try to stack the deck for 1 season since hardly anything is going towards a QB.
