Signaling a change?
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.
