As for AJ, if he just doesn't go Brock Osweiler Trainwreck, he bought himself a lifetime of veteran backup QB $ contracts. He can afford to keep Katherine Webb around
being a career backup is a pretty great gig. Make a couple million a year or more and never have to worry about getting injured. Josh McCown is a great example. Guy is entering his 16th year in the league and has only started 73 career games with 8 different teams. And if he isn't cut during the season this year, he will have earned $42 million over the course of his career. Sounds like a pretty awesome life

being a career backup is a pretty great gig.
Ty played 14 seasons on multiple teams and only got 25 starts. He only played in 54 games.
Koy spent a decade on the Eagles active roster and only got 5 starts. Although, he played in almost twice as many games as big brother (103), which I imagine is likely due to his placeholder duties.
Either way, not a bad gig, as you said. Especially for a couple of 6 foot tall, sub-200 lb, non-dual threat QBs. Both got paid for a long time and get full NFL retirement benefits with extra perks for playing beyond 10 years.
