Just enjoy the good life!
Eli is worse than many back-ups. No one was signing him to be the starter - at best he might have been brought into a situation where he would have had a chance to compete for starter's job. He'd also be competing with guys like Flacco, Dalton, Mariota for those opportunities, so it was quite possible no one would sign him for anything other than pure backup role.
