Plenty of teams need quarterbac­ks, and for once there doesn’t seem to be any shortage of them on the market. Here’s a look at a few quarterbac­ks who could have new homes next season:

Nick Foles, Philadelph­ia

Foles was the Super Bowl most valuable player but is still behind Carson Wentz on the depth chart. He’s under contract for one more year but could be a trade candidate.

Kirk Cousins, Washington

The Redskins appear to be moving on after trading for Chiefs quarterbac­k Alex Smith. Cousins led Washington to the NFC East title in 2015 and has played under one-year contracts ever since.

Case Keenum, Minnesota

The Vikings have three quarterbac­ks to choose from, including Teddy Bridgewate­r and Sam Bradford, and Keenum may not be the answer they’re looking for.

Sam Darnold, USC

Darnold has been in the discussion for the top overall draft pick, which belongs to Cleveland. The Browns haven’t used a top-five pick on a quarterbac­k since they drafted Tim Couch No. 1 overall in 1999.

Josh Rosen, UCLA

Rosen is part of a deep draft class at quarterbac­k and is also in the conversati­on for the top overall pick. Other potential landing spots include the Giants at No. 2 overall, the Broncos at No. 5, or the Jets at No. 6.

Josh Allen, Wyoming

Another potential high first-round pick provides a third option for teams looking to solve their quarterbac­k problems through the draft. Heisman Trophy winners Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson are also available.
