Assessing back-up QB free agents

Todd Archer of the Dallas Morning News took a look at the QB free agents available this off-season.

With the commitment to Tony Romo, the Cowboys certainly won't be seeking deals with the top free agent QBs, such as Kurt Warner of Arizona, Kerry Collins of Tennessee and the franchise-tagged Matt Cassel of New England.

Bryant Leftwich is played well when called to duty as back-up to Pittsburgh is looking for a starter job.

That leaves Chris Simms, Dan Orlovsky, Kyle Boller and J.P. Losman as possibilities.

Out of that group, Simms would make the most sense. But he has expressed an interest in returning to Tennessee.

I'm not a fan of the other three and not sure how much of an upgrade they would be over Brooks Bollinger, who is an unrestricted free agent and who replaced Brad Johnson as the team's back-up last season.
