Just days after being announced the starting quarterback by Jacksonville, the Glasgow Warriors sent QB3 David Garrard to the Austin Predators for starting LB Adalius Thomas and a 2009 draft pick. Garrard is expected to be the primary backup to starting QB Marc Bulger, while Thomas should be an every-week starter for the Warriors.
Glasgow is left with two solid young QBs on their roster, with Eli Manning the expected starter and Matt Schaub likely to play the QB2 role. With Manning and Schaub having different bye weeks, the team felt comfortable with its QB situation and wisely brought in the playmaker Thomas.
In Austin, team officials decided that bringing in a reliable QB2 was worth sacrificing some LB depth the team had built up. Andra Davis and Matt Wilhelm, both recovering from injury, are the leading candidates to fill Thomas' starting spot in Week 1. The team is very high on Wilhelm, but Davis' familiarity with the Austin defense will likely land him the LB4 slot moving forward until Wilhelm proves himself.
