i thought he and leftwich both tried out, with the team choosing byron?

No...DC didnt even try out from what I understand. Pitt was offereing him the league minimun to compete for the 3rd QB position. I think Green Bay offered him $1 mill to serve as Rodgers back-up, but he refused that as well.

Someone will go down and he'll get a call and make more money with the short vacation. He's an OK QB, nothing special but that's half of all the QB's out there.

I guess we will find out if Moss can make Matt Cassel look like an All-Star QB

They both tried out, passed their physicals, and discussed contracts. Culpepper was not really interested in being a back up for the minimum. This made the decision easy for the Steelers, who then signed Leftwich who was excited to get back in the league.

Lord Byron should help Ben out alot and be dependable as a backup. he'll give the steelers a totally different look from Ben.

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.
