In light of the injury to Dixon, and in response to a comment I saw on another post, I thought I'd do some quick research to find out if there are any QBs on another team's PS that we should think about signing.  I asume that we don't want to sign a FA off the street because, presumabely, if they were any good, they would be employed.  I found a site that provides the PS roster for each NFL team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_NFL_team_rosters).   I'm only listing the teams that actually have a QB on their PS.  Here is the list after the jump:

Ratbirds:  Hunter Cantwell

Colts:  Tom Brandstater

Jaguars:  Brett Ratliff

Chiefs:  Tyler Palko

Giants:  Rhett Bomar

Packers:  Graham Harrell

Saints:  Sean Canfield

49ers:   Nate Davis

Seahawks:  Zac Robinson

I realize Dixon may be fine, Batch is still healthy, and early reports indicate Lefty may return this week.  So, option 1 for the FO may simply be to try to hang in there and do nothing (with our D, who could blame if them?)  Our second option could be to sign a player off another team's PS.  As a 3rd option, we could always trade for another's back-up, but I don't see us going that route and that is probably best addressed in another post.  Out of the QBs listed above, I like Bomar the best.  He has a strong enough arm, looked solid in the pre-season, and has little chance of playing with Eli and Rosenfelds in front of him, so he should be inclined to sign with us.  Cantwell from the Ratbitds could work for 2 reasons:  1) I think he may turn into a reliable back-up; and 2) it is always nice to steal a potentially good player from a rival.  Ratliff also had a big arm and I seem to remember him playing well in the pre-season with the Jets a couple of years ago.  What do you guys think?  In any event, at least we have our D to rely upon! 

Go Steelers!
