Since Kordell is a FA and visited last spring, why not sign him?
1) He'd come cheap
2) He knows the Mularkey system
3) His pro-bowl days were under Mularkey
4) He and JP are similar players
5) He has starting experience
6) He's only 32/33 years old
7) If JP goes down he can come in and run the exact same offence, probably better than Sean Matthews
And my final reason, he was quite successful as Slash. Mularkey LOVES trick plays, Imagine what he could do with Stewart and Losman on the field at the same time? Add in McGahee, Evans, and Moulds...
Now THAT is a high powered offense!
