Keith Wenning, a 2014 6th rounder was thought to be the heir apparent at backup quarterback for the Ravens, with Tyrod Taylor's contract expiring this offseason. But things did not go as planned with the former record setting Boise State quarterback. The Ravens decided to go another way rather than give him a shot at the gig, signing former Pro Bowl QB Matt Schaub. Schaub, formerly a very productive starter in Houston, developed a strange case of intercept-icitis and had been bouncing from team to team since.
After Houston kicked him to the curb, he was traded to Oakland, who started David Carr over the veteran.
