Next year’s draft isn’t good for QBs. Only 2 or 3 QBs with first round potential. So, there will still be a market for the veteran QBs.


Steelers- Whom do they resign? Wilson or Fields? The person who doesn’t resign will look for a market elsewhere.

Sam Darnold is likely to be the big winner this offseason. Where does he go?

Aaron Rodgers likely done with Jets. If he still wants to play, would any team want him? He’s likely done.

Falcons remaining schedule besides playing us , is favorable. Will Cousins rebound? Or will Falcons start the Pennix era in 25 and cut Cousins?

Daniel Jones likely to stay with Vikings to rehab his career.

I think the Steelers will resign Wilson. Maybe
Jets overpay for Sam Donald. And don’t forget that typically the draft features drama who overdraft for need everywhere despite the well known wisdom on drafting for need, so while there are only a few good qbs in he draft it wouldn’t shock me if 4/5 were drafted in the first round.

Cousins will have 10 million roster bonus guaranteed for 26, if he’s on the roster after March 17.

Expect Kirk to be cut before then. He has a no trade clause and there’s no way he would waive that.

Aaron says he still wants to play in 2025, even after Jets and him part ways. That is, if anyone wants him.
He said he would even mentor a young qb.

He should retire, he’s done.

I would be completely dumbfounded if Sam Darnold goes to any NY team, especially back to the Jets. For his sake, I hope he stays with the Vikings one more year or goes to SF or LAR (if Stafford decides to retire)...maybe even the Steelers.

I find it hard to believe any team will want him. Especially coaches. Seems like a good way to secure your firing. Now that I think about it, maybe the cowboys should sign him.

It will be interesting what happens in the offseason with the vet qbs.

The draft isn’t a good one for qbs this year. The top 2 qbs this year would probably only be ranked 7th,8th in last years draft. You’ll probably see a couple of QBs drafted higher than they should

Still, in a qb needy league ; there might be demand for those vets.

Justin Fields, Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins and maybe even Aaron Rodgers will have a home somewhere in 25. The last 3, likely as a bridge qb. Sam Darnold will make big 2nd tier money as a qb.

I don't know if it's quantifiable, but think of how much money Sam Darnold may have lost in those last few games. Roughly the equivalent of a small nation's GDP.

He probably could have gotten 40-50
Million a year but now probably 30 million a year and probably 3 years at best. Think what Baker Mayfield got with Tampa. He definitely cost himself money.

I know everyone would like for our qb to be a success and everyone else not be as successful.

I prefer the opposite. It’s good for the nfl to have successful QBs. It will be great if the 24 class rivals or surpasses the famed 83 class.

Look at the afc, they currently have 4 great QBs in Mahomes, Allen, Jackson and Burrow. Nix and Maye could join that club over time.


In the NFC, we really didn’t have that. We have a couple of good teams, Eagles and 49ers before this year but Purdy and Hurts aren’t on that same level.

Golf & Love definitely aren’t on that level.

Unknown what McCarthy, Pennix, Williams will become. In one year, Daniels is already on that level.

I hope all those rookie QBs of 24 are successful. Daniels and the NFC needs a qb to battle. We need our own Young-Aikman, Brady-Manning.

Williams seems the most likely. Imagine Jayden and Caleb battling every year, for the right to go to the Superbowl.
