Out of over 1,000 players released in the NFL this week, two who got the most attention were quarterbacks Matt Corral and Bailey Zappe from the Panthers and Patriots, respectively. You probably know of these players and you probably heard of their releases and you may have even held out hope that the Los Angeles Rams would be inquiring on either as a claim.
But why?
It shouldn’t possibly because you have any expectations that either of them will turn into NFL starters based on their position and draft pick value. There’s just no good evidence to support that.
