[CBFF] - Part of this must be subterfuge

[Jason Cetina]

Agreed, but is it worth keeping him around if he can't hang on to the 
ball or get open? It also seems like he's come close to throwing his QBs 
under the bus when he doesn't get the ball.

More to the point, Moose's spot is one of those areas where we could 
definitely improve. Why continue overpaying an over-the-hill veteran on 
the backside of his career during a time when the offense is clearly 
going to be rebuilding?
