"I think that they would like to have one (QB battle) because of Matt Schaub and the money he's making," says Hugh. "But I don't think they're going to turn the reins of this team, in case something happens to Matt Ryan, to Kurt Benkert."

The Falcons would save some money if they did take Benkert over Schaub, but as noted by a few people, Schaub just inked a 2-year extension and his role is safe.

Schaub isn’t going anywhere. Signed a 2-year extension this year. But Benkert has been solid. https://t.co/WbyAozH1Ep
