Best thing for Josh is that I believe he has now qualified for his NFLPA pension, not to mention that under league salary scale he has been making some pretty good money.
I've always thought Josh is probably a game not practice player. His skill is in bringing the ball down and running. First off that's not Pitt. He would probably have done better someplace like Baltimore (who doesn't need him but I use them as a style of offense example) that works the QB run into the offense.
In practice they want you to run the play, not scramble. So he rarely gets to show how his skill set would work for them. And while he is accurate for a running QB, the NFL wants extreme accuracy and that's not Josh.
But he may hang around a couple of more years since a team can be sure he will be solid on the playbook and be ready to go. Probably spend most seasons on the practice squad which under the current labor agreement would pay a player who has been in league for more than 2 years a little over $252,000 versus the $900k+ cited above. So it makes the numbers less important but I will admit I don't know if practice squad players accrue service years to their pension plans.
Coaching, he would probably be great at it, but I think he will want to use that aviation expertise in field.
