take a flyer

The pick came in a year when Seattle had few obvious needs, and the Seahawks felt they could take a flyer on an unquestionably talented player.

They’ll take a flyer and put the burden of scrapping and scraping to the Pentagon’s budgeteers.

The easy answer is that these people all have too much money, so these millions are just pocket change to them anyway and can take a flyer.

They haven’t even take a flyer on a QB such as former Husky Jake Haener or UCLA’s Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Though there’s a chance Washington’s brass could fall for a prospect or take a flyer on a later-round developmental type, the team is likely out of the range to draft this year’s top signal-callers.
