which makes you wonder why he tried out-did he really think he would be anything other than a back up in pitt?

i heard yesterday, he is acting as his own agent. he has himself way over valued, making his asking price to high. someone will be desperate in a few weeks and sign him.

I think part of the issue was the Steelers did not know at the time if they would IR Batch. He did not want to be the 3rd QB,and is hoping for a better opportunity to showcase himself for the future.
