Joe Starkey

I don't even know what this contract is, but if it's significant, I wouldn't want that.

Very high.

I don't know about the first round.

I do like the kid, but not the first round.

And if he comes in as a first-round draft pick, he's going to be the guy, you would think, if there's no Rodgers, right?

They're not going to.

So that's the other thing that you're shutting down any possibility that Will Howard.

I like open competitions if there are two guys involved.

We talked about this earlier.

If it comes down to Howard and Rudolph or Howard and anyone else you can bring in, as long as they're not some veteran guy who has to play because he's a veteran guy, I want to see that.

I want to see somebody take a step forward.

And the only way you're going to know that is to give him chances.

Jordan Schultz has said he is going to be hired.

Who knows?

He got his start with Bill Belichick for six years, though, so I know if you regard that as helpful, which I do, that could be something.

I like the idea, though.

And I like guys who are former quarterbacks getting involved in this, too.

You have a lot of different people who've gone through all of the things necessary to be the leader of the offense, and I think that can only be viewed as a good thing.

And he's young enough.

He needs to go through this.
