There may be only 2-3 teams signing him, but I can see him getting Keenum money 2/$36 million.

This is one I'll be watching.  I live in Cardinal territory, so am blessed/cursed to see them on TV every week.  The only good thing I saw out of Rosens this year is that he played better than Bradford.  The Cardinals have the top pick in the draft and QB may well rise above 1% chance.

Agree on Eli and just have to say (again) that the Giants were stupid last year to not take his replacement.  RBs only last about 5 years and the Giants look to be at least that far away from competing for a title.

B-b-but you said I didn't have to do any research myself.

The Jags could end up with a bad QB situation if you're right about Coughlin wanting to reunite with Eli haha. On the other hand, Eli won 2 Super Bowls with the Giants D, so I could see him being servicable for the Jags in the right system and if the Jags D returns to glory. Although he's 38 now.

And now I'm curious how any of these QB situations change with all the coaching changes. Which coaches might want to bring in a guy that fits his system better? Or will the coach try to roll with a system the QB is used to?

Personally I think Stafford needs a scenery change. The Lions could use some new blood too, but his contract probably won't allow it. That relationship isn't working out for whatever reason. Same thing with Dalton in Cincinnati. A lot of these teams seemed locked in with who they got already, as you pointed out, but maybe they shouldn't be lol.

It's also going to be interesting to see where some of these backups end up. The obvious being Foles and Teddy, and now Flacco. How bout guys like Mullens or Beathard or Kyle Allen? I don't know what any of the contracts look like for these guys, but I thought Mullens looked pretty good, same with Allen, so I wonder if they'll draw any interest from someone. Mullens has no future in San Fran with Jimmy G there.

Washington is going to need a new QB, and maybe the Giants. Probably the only 2 NFC teams that do. Miami, Pittsburgh (if Roethlisberger retires), and Jacksonville. Everyone else seems set for 2019, unless Brees wins a Super Bowl and retires. Maybe Brady comes to his senses and retires if he wins the Super Bowl too. The writing was on the wall this year for him and the Patriots, and he did look pretty old at times, especially any time he had to run. He looks like he's 60 when he runs.

But yeah I'll be watching where Foles, Tannehill, Flacco, and Eli end up. And how many more teams young Theodore gets passed around to. And will Sloter finally move up the depth chart? I certainly hope we move on from Siemian, unless Kubiak can get him not looking like Ponder.

Curious to see if Bradford, Peterman, or Bortles make any roster this year too haha.

I don't know anything about potential draft prospects.

Beathard had his moments. Nearly beat the Packers and Chargers on the road. He's got some grit and he's a baller.

My only knock on Mullens so far is he just needed 1 more catch for 6 yards.

A couple updates:
