Vince Young, 4 others released
-
Tanney, Young and Fozzy among them as announced on twitter

Interestingly, we just cut our two tallest QBs.
No one left taller than Hoyer at 6'2.
So we've got four guys with similar build and good to great mobility.
I guess Shanny has a type.
Going to be a fun camp with Hoyer v Manziel for #1 and Thigpen v Shaw for #3

Why did they sign him (Young) in the first place? Anyone know?

Probably on the off-chance they couldn't land one of their QB's in the draft.

Wow Buckeye I sure hope you're wrong. He may have played for our past rival at UT, but I would certainly hope no one would use him this way. He's just coming out of bankruptcy proceedings.
PS-with his size and speed he should have considered retooling as a TE, not just be set on QB.

Sanford should get a look from other teams. He put in some solid work last year.
I am convinced that the QB depth chart has already been decided with 1 - Manziel, 2 - Hoyer and 3 - Shaw.
There is no way that Manziel being on the bench with season tickets and jersey sales going like they have been. I know it isn't necessarily the 'smart' thing to do, but that isn't always what seems to happen.

Yea, releasing VY is a head scratcher after just getting him. Hell, if they just wanted something to use for practice why didn't they just use one of those Jugs gun or whatever it is that throws footballs out from a couple of tires.
Or, maybe they really took a look at him and said: "This guy's got nothing left....at all".
Hello Arena League?

i like the way haslam came out and said manziel is not the starter. brian hoyer is the starter.....GOING INTO TRAINING CAMP.
going into training camp?? god knows things never change in training camp.
i hope hoyer has a thick skin cuz there's a big monster getting ready to gnaw through it.

it's a professional business, smokescreens happen. impossible to look at it like VY got used...practice squad players crack 6 figures, don't think having Young in for a few weeks didn't line his pocket enough to pay off his light bill. work is work, even if it's temporary. plus he got a chance to audition for a team and show his wares. any activity is a positive. it's just what you do.
but i don't think it was a smokescreen...i think Shanny just wanted a look. who wouldn't? it's Vince Young.
next to Vick, Young is a pretty damn accomplished running QB.
thinking anyone can just step in and be an NFL TE is wishful thinking. a CFL QB is more realistic.

I thought they signed him to have a body in the 3 day workout. How can they run a workout with only 1 healthy QB? Hoyer barely did anything so it was Tanny until Young and Thigpen were signed

I don't think you can just change a 31 year old QB to TE.
