QB Index, Week 16: Who will be hunting for a new QB? Published: Dec 20, 2017 at 03:43 AM Around The NFL Podcast Co-Host In , I examined the players who could be available in the 2018 quarterback market. But which teams will be looking to make a change? Below is a rundown of the teams that should be most aggre sive in seeking a new quarterback this offseason, with a few curveballs thrown in. (Just want to mainline the 2017 season rankings at quarterback? Head to Matt Olson Jersey the bottom of the page.) A CHANGE IS GONNA COME New York Jets: is probably the quarterback who is the most likely to return to the team next year, and he's not even a lock. New York figures to pull the plug on the experiment at some point before next season, with the 2016 second-round pick having shown little progre s. was better at 38 years old than anyone could have imagined (2,926 yards, 18:9 TD-to-INT ratio in 13 games), but the run the risk of re-living if they bring McCown back expecting a repeat performance from him. Quitting while ahead feels like the move if the can upgrade. Pairing McCown with a rookie-to-be-named-later is one potential route, but the should be considered at the top of the list of teams that will be aggre sive going after veteran names via trade or free agency. Cleveland Browns: has demonstrated enviable traits, flashes of a quality quarterback within. But there's no way he's shown enough to return as an unquestioned starter. The to own the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft, along with the No. 5 pick, acquired from Houston. ( ) New general manager John Dorsey seems almost certain to invest one of those picks in a quarterback, or the city of Cleveland could revolt. The larger question is whether the will seek out a veteran in March first. Buffalo Bills: For the second straight year, the are set to enter an awkward dance with starter , in which the team simultaneously gauges what's available on the market and what Taylor could fetch in a trade with a year left on his contract. Last year, the two sides because neither could do any better. Don't expect that to happen again. Denver Broncos: It's safe to say the trio of , and isn't going to cut it again. VP John Elway is expected to be aggre sive in coming up with an alternative, a tacit admi sion that selecting Lynch in the first round of the 2016 was a mistake. Arizona Cardinals: is under contract for 2018, but his playing status will likely be tied to the future of coach Bruce Arians, with retirement for both of them. Even if Palmer did want to return, it's an open question whether the team would want him back after another serious injury (a broken arm ). The are overdue to add some younger talent at the position. WORK AHEAD Jacksonville Jaguars: When the picked up the fifth-year option in ' contract in May, . Now it looks very po sible that Bortles stays in Jacksonville next season to collect his scheduled $19 million salary. That could change if Bortles' December hot streak turns cold in the playoffs, or if a better option comes along. With a great defense, no state income tax in Florida and warehouses full of salary-cap space, the are a sleeper team to watch if hits free agency. Washington Redskins: Cousins' play has tailed off down the stretch in a difficult season that has more than ever. Either the are going to make Cousins the highest-paid quarterback in football, or the team needs to start from scratch at the position, with backup next in line. Minnesota Vikings: , and are slated for free agency after the season. The will likely only be able to sign one of them, with Bridgewater the most likely pick, because of his pedigree and upside. A long playoff run from Keenum could perversely make him more likely to leave, encouraging suitors to make an offer Keenum can't refuse. After playing on four teams in four years, Keenum will have his chance to cash in. New Orleans Saints: is unsigned heading into 2018, but the team's succe s this year all but ensures the won't allow the best player in franchise history to finish his career elsewhere. It's hard to imagine a scenario in which he leaves, although a that includes some mi sed practice time is difficult to envision. (It's happened before with Brees.) X-FACTORS Miami Dolphins: The a sumption is that the will say goodbye to and welcome back , who mi sed the entire 2017 season after . It's not so crazy to imagine coach Adam Gase instead looking to draft (or acquire) a hand-picked quarterback rather than staying with Tannehill, who was selected two general managers ago. New York Giants: Co-owner John Mara , which should carry weight with to fill the team's open general manager position. There's no better time, however, to make a clean sweep of the organization. The could theoretically ask Manning to mentor a top draft pick at quarterback like Kurt Warner once mentored Manning, but these situations are always thornier when a franchise legend is involved. Cincinnati Bengals: With Marvin Lewis , a new coach will be inheriting 's relatively affordable contract. Said new coach will also note that Dalton is coming off his worst career season, as Dalton is ranked No. 28 in ESPN's QBR metric, ahead of only , , and . Dalton's contract could make him a trade a set if a new Blake Treinen Jersey regime wanted to get creative.
