Is your team in need of a new franchise quarterback but maybe you don’t have an ideal draft spot? Maybe your team doesn’t like any of the draft options. Free agency starts before the draft and begins March 12th.
Well here is a list of NFL quarterbacks who are free agents, courtesy of Rotoworld:
Quarterbacks
- Joe Flacco
- Matt Moore
- Jason Campbell
- David Garrard
- Josh Johnson
- Byron Leftwich
- Brady Quinn
- Vince Young
- Matt Leinart
- Rex Grossman
- David Carr
- Derek Anderson
- Drew Stanton
- Chase Daniel
- Brian Hoyer
- Charlie Batch
- Bruce Gradkowski
- Kellen Clemens
- Tyler Thigpen
- Josh McCown
- Sage Rosenfels
- Seneca Wallace
- Donovan McNabb
- A.J. Feeley
- Troy Smith
- Luke McCown
- Chris Redman
- John Beck
- Jordan Palmer
- J.P. Losman
- Kevin O’Connell
The marquee name on this list is clearly Joe Flacco, but he is likely to either re-sign with the Baltimore Ravens or get the franchise tag. I’d be surprised if he hit free agency.
The rest are really just depth chart fillers. There are a few former NFL starters who might be able to resurrect their career if someone wanted to get them a shot like Derek Anderson.
A team looking to embrace the mobile quarterback trend in the NFL might want to make something happen with Vince Young or Troy Smith.
