Now that everyone has been hired at the head coach level; it’s on to the QB carousel.

Since the draft really has one qb, Mendoza; the veteran market should be lively again. At least trying to a short term stopgap for this year and maybe next. Also, could see teams trying to get 1st or 2nd round picks in the 2027 draft; since next year is a more qb friendly draft.

Cousins should be released by the Falcons. Cardinals rumored to be moving on from Murray and the Dolphins to move on from Tua.

Could be a lot of teams tanking for the 27 draft class, since the 26 QB market is thin.

So look at the teams in the market:

Dolphins- They move on from Tua , what stopgap qb? Moving on from Tua takes a big bite of the cap.

Jets- Fields is done. No free agent will want to come here as Glenn is likely going to get fired at some point. They will have a high draft pick again in 2027.

Steelers- McCarthy might be able to convince Rodgers to come back for one more year but Steelers need that long term QB.

Browns- Probably run it back with Sanders and Dillon and since they are stuck with Watson’s contract; Watson might play also. I can see them to move to get more 27 picks ; so they can draft a QB.

Colts- Expect another year with Daniel Jones. They might wait a year before giving him a long term deal.

Raiders- Drafting Mendoza

Cards- If they trade Murray, maybe a short term deal with Cousins??? Who knows.

Vikings- They might get another long term qb, in case JJ doesn’t work out. JJ is closer to bustville than breaking out.

Falcons- They are releasing Cousins and give Pennix another go.

I can see teams trading for Murray and signing Cousins. Somebody might sign Wilson as a stopgap. I don’t see anyone wanting Tua.
