If they cut I would give him a tryout with Saints, would like to see Payton work with him, could be better backup option than McCown with potential to develop into starter one day when Brees retires.

McCown is near the end, why not get a backup that could potentially replace Brees one day.

Would not give up a draft pick for him though.

McCown knowing this system like the back of his hand is probably why Zach would have zero shot to be the #2 QB this year.

Brees is really fond of having an experienced backup who knows what they're seeing and can really help him on the sideline. I think that's why, even though we've seen a couple guys come through who would probably play better in a Brees-season-ended scenario, we still stick with McCown.

Plus, we have Grayson who is grooming behind both to become the future QB, and he has a much higher draft pedigree than Mett.

I like Mett but there isn't enough reason to choose him over either of our guys to roster him instead. Doubt this happens.
