13 NFL quarterbacks who will be free agents in 2024
Heading to the free-agent market
NFL teams are desperate for quarterbacks, or it seems many of them are. Heading into Week 16, there have been 57 different players who have started at QB. That means teams will be looking for new names in the 2024 free-agent class. Who are some that will be available? Let’s take a look …
Kirk Cousins
The call: Strong consideration if he returns healthy from torn Achilles.
Ryan Tannehill
The call: Hard pass
Jacoby Brissett
The call: Worth signing. Dependable backup and can step in when needed.
Tyrod Taylor
The call: Pass
Marcus Mariota
The call: Pass
Sam Darnold
The call: Pass if you need a start, a shaky nod for a backup role.
Jameis Winston
The call: Pass
Baker Mayfield
The call: The market is iffy, so Mayfield will likely get looks from a lot of teams, including Tampa Bay, where he is now.
Gardner Minshew
The call: Worth a strong look. If he isn’t starter material, he would be one of the best backups to have.
Joshua Dobbs
The call: Pass
Easton Stick
The call: Pass
Mason Rudolph
The call: Pass — even as a backup
Jake Browning
The call: Has earned plenty of attention based on his play with Joe Burrow out in Cincinnati, but unsure if that warrants a move.
