free agent QBs 2020

[GOTA]

Bucs talking about using the transition tag (not franchise) on Winston. Would let both sides test the interest (which I do not see as being very high) from other teams.

I see interest in Winston the free agent but very little in working out a complicated deal to make sure the Bucs don't match

[boller4president]

and he's still not cleared to play as far as I've seen. may still need surgery

And if he's still injured he can't be cut until medically cleared.

Broncos are screwed.

This is a year unlike we've seen in a while, and I wouldn't be surprised if it impacts the draft as well. Some team(s) may opt for a veteran than to take a risk on draft pick and/or not a guy they want available.

Where do you think these guys end up?

Tom Brady – Raidahs, hilariously
Drew Brees – Nawlins
Dak Prescott – Dalla$
Phillip Rivers – San Diego
Jameis Winston – Tampa
Mitch Trubisky – Chicago (they haven't made the first step, admitting there's a problem)
Matthew Stafford – Indy!
Marcus Mariota – New England
Andy Dalton – or this guy to New England
Teddy Bridgewater – a backup somewhere
Jacoby Brisket – a backup somewhere
Cam Newton – a backup somewhere
Joe Flacco – a backup somewhere, or home with Dana

Bucs are going to swing a trade with Matt Patricia for Stafford.

[QtR Nevermore]

Maybe Dalton will end up back with the Bengals if Burrow refuses to go there, as he's hinting he might. I'd love that, as much for the comedy value as for keeping him out of our division.

the cap hit to trade Stafford is more than paying him to stay

Yup. It would cost the Lions $10.7 million in cap space to trade Stafford. Next season they would save $14 million. If they do want to move on Stafford it will be after the 2020 season

Tom Brady - LA Chargers
Probably the best situation Brady could step into to make one last run. Like Manning going to the Broncos

Drew Brees - Saints
Saints fans living in the past, bring old man Drew back for nostalgia alone and let their other QBs leave the building. They’ll lose on wildcard weekend once again, then enter the NFL basement for the next 10 years until they find a QB

Phillip Rivers - Bucs
Probably should retire though. He looked terrible last year. Couldn’t get the ball down field, pick after pick. Like an older washed up Jameis Winston

Teddy Bridgewater - Titans or Cowboys
Tannehill wants big money, but everyone knows Derrick Henry is the engine. Tanehill is a game manager. Makes more sense to get Bridgewater at a lower price tag who can do everything Tannehill can. Dallas comes into the equation if they don’t re-sign Dak

Jameis Winston - Raiders
I don’t know, something about it seems like a natural fit. Winston won’t win games, but his air it out guns blazing style with 5000 yards, 30 TDs and 30 INTs is entertaining to watch. High risk high reward player, seems a perfect fit for Vegas casino culture

Marcus Mariota - Bears?
Don’t know. Don’t care. He’s trash

Dak Prescott - Cowboys? Panthers?
They’ll probably re-sign him at 35-40 mil which is a Dallas thing to do. He’s trash and his contract will be a millstone around their neck for years to come. I would let him walk and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

I'm picking up this from N'Awlins friends: Teddy will be the odd man out, fighting all the other FA's in the crowded field.

Teddy Bridgewater - This is the tricky one. I actually think the Redskins could be an interesting landing spot for Bridgewater.

This only just occurred to me: Bridgewater might be a great fit for New England.

Teddy's qualities as a QB are smarts, leadership, decision-making, accuracy. A huge arm has never been prominent among those traits. That's the exact same set of traits the New England offense has run on for 20 years. They haven't used a big arm since Randy Moss left town ten years ago.

Teddy turned 27 mid-season last year (November). He'll probably be affordable in free agency: I saw one estimate that his cost will likely fall between Jacoby Brisket's 2019 figure of $15M, and the Nick Foles $22M number. He might leap at the chance to be Bill Belichick's QB1 for around $17M.

I was originally thinking that Belichick might like to undertake the Mariota Reclamation Project, buying low on a overall-#2 pick talent. But Mariota might be broken. His sack% has gone up for four straight seasons: 4.9%, 5.6%, 11.3%, 13.5%. That's ugh-LEEE! Belichick isn't going to have time for a QB who has to eat the ball because he can't process decisively.

Bridgewater operated Sean Payton's offense in a professional manner; and he's only a year older than Mariota. Suppose Hoodie signs Austin Hooper and drafts one off this stack of great WR prospects: Justin Jefferson or Jalen Reagor or Henry Ruggs or Denzel Mims, someone like that. They could be right back to running the kind of quick-read, get the ball OUT offense we're used to seeing from them. And right back in their usual slot in the Final Four.

Yuck.

[HotInHere]

I love Joe but I'm LOLing that the Broncos fucked themselves that hard with him and I'm glad it's not us.

Yeah, that restructure was a bad idea. They could have had him for essentially a series of one-year contracts. I guess they needed the cap room, but I'm not sure why.

[bmore finest]

I hope Bridgewater doesn’t go to Bears. Think they will try to have him backup Mitch , which would be a mistake.

If Brady leaves NE , which i serious doubt , crybrady would leave the comfort of his home and system be been great at.
Would be interesting to me if went to Bucs with Bruce. He likes vet QB’s. And they got some weapons and a te.

Dalton i hope lands in Chicago. Take mitch job and give bears a good QB.

Winston not leaving Florida lol. Tampa , Miami or Jacksonville will grab him.

Rivers likely the colts. SD might be in play for Bridgewater.

Las Vegas stay with Carr , hopefully pick Hurts so sqeelers don’t add him behind Jen.

We have a different definition of what a "good qb" is
