What an interesting offseason as we have atleast 4 big name free agent QBs unsigned going into the offseason.
Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Dak Prescott, Ryan Tannehill, Marcus Mariotta, Teddy Bridgewater, Jamis Winston, and Case Keenum are the big names this offseason.
I think it's probably safe to say that Tom and Dak aren't going anywhere. Just a matter of money to keep them where they are. The rest are likely end up in other teams.
You think Winston winds up back with Tampa? wow.. I lean more towards that bridge being burned.
Ira Kaufman, the only Tampa Bay source I know of, seems to think he isn't going anywhere. Does Tampa have other options? Not the best year to be on the market. Maybe they'll cut ties bring in a rental and position for a QB on draft day.
Brees only has a couple more years at best (most likely)
I think Bridgewater fits their system very good and I think they would want to keep him and I think he'd want to stay there. But I don't think he's interested in backing up Brees for another two years, if another one year.
So, he has to go.. but, where does he go to? I kinda thought of Tampa as a solid destination for him. It seems pretty certain that Miami is going to go after Tua and allow Fitzpatrick to start another season for them while Tua heals..
We've established the list of FA QBs.. but.. let's look at teams with needs, or possible needs.
Patriots - I can't imagine Brady doesn't return, but, I mention them because there's a chance.
Miami - See above
Pittsburgh - Ben will return. They need to address the QB position, but not immediately.
Cincinnati - We know what happens here. the bigger question is do they flip Dalton to someone?
Indianapolis - Maaaybe. Are they sold on Brissett?
Jacksonville - Doubtful they're in the market. Not pleased, I'm sure, with Foles, but. Stuck with him another year.
Denver - Are they all-in with Drew Lock?
Las Vegas - Chucky doesn't seem to really believe in Carr.
Chargers - they need to plan for the future, but I think they kiss and make up with Rivers for 2 years
Chicago - They make a move for someone.
Detroit - They also need to make plans.. but not yet.
Tampa - Yes. Just yes. they need something.
Carolina - Yes.
Those are the teams that I see possibly filling a need at QB. Either through draft or FA.
Any that I'm not thinking of? I suppose we could put Kirk Cousins and the Vikings up here.. He'll be on the last year of his contract. he has actually played well with them. Results haven't been what they hoped for, i'm sure.

My predictions;
Staying put via franchise tag or other resigning- Brady, Tannehill, Brees, Prescott, Winston
I would say there is no way Brady, Tannehill, Brees and Prescott will be on a new team next year.
I think Rivers will end up on a Florida team, either Miami to help groom Tua or try to put a better QB in Tampa to help Evans and the rest of the offense.
I would say Bridgewater goes to LA Chargers.

i think Rivers WANTS to leave the Chargers.. But I don't think it happens.
I rather hope that Bridgewater goes to either Carolina or Tampa. I think those are two decent situations.. They need a little more than just a QB, but they're not.. they're not the Redskins. Tampa finished 7-9 in spite of Winston and his 30 picks. I'd prefer to see them with a better running game, tho.
Carolina's a little bit more of a project. the loss of Kuechly is big. But, they still have McCaffrey. Problem is.. Receivers..
I so want to see Bridgewater come back and be a star like I thought he was going to be in Minnesota before his injury.
