Been thinking about this one for quite awhile. And with this year actually having some impact names at QB, it definitely seems to be all the buzz, so I thought I'd share my thoughts, see what kind of debate we can fire up.
Quick Side note- Nick Foles isn't going anywhere. Not until Wentz is %100, and that sure seems like it'll be into the season at this point, and no one is trading anything substantial for a 30 something journeyman system QB, not to mention Philly would be ridiculous to dela him for anything less than a fortune (that they won't get)
Might as well hit the big dog first-
Kirk Cousins- I've switched my prediction since early early on. I no longer feel ARZ will be in the hunt, let alone where he actually ends up. To me, there are only two teams seriously in the running, with a third who probably thinks they are, but are simply being used for leverage. It's either going to be NYJets, or the Vikes, sorry Denver, you don't have the money, the team around him (or won't once you gut it to get him), nor the coaches/stability (Vance is teetering towards unemployment) to beat out the competition. My money is now on the Vikes. They have the cap room to make the contract work, and with the news that they aren't pushing to toll Brdigewaters' contract, nor franchising Keenum, they're setting up to make a serious run. And they've always been the preferred destination if his desire is truly to win, not solely driven by money. Now should the Jets make good on that rumor of the fully guaranteed contract and the 60 large up front..than welcome to the big apple Kirk.
Drew Brees- lets not get silly, he'll be a Saint till he's done, or refuses to quit at 45, than maybe a Brown
Kase Keenum- Being 30, Keenum, who doesn't rely on a big arm to get the job done, likely has a good five years left at current level, meaning, he's a bit more than a bridge guy, yet not the long term solution. I personally don't feel he's all that great and, like Foles, was maximized by the coaches as to what he could do, and rarely was asked to do anything out of the ordinary. Hell, the first few games he started in place of Bradford, there were calls for Kyle Slotter to take over. But h'es got some nice intangibles, good experience, and can do enough for a good team to get by. Sounds like a perfect fit for ARZ, who isn't necessarily in position to draft a franchise QB this year, unless one falls.
AJ McCarron - I truly think this is a done deal to to the Browns, there's no way anyone would offer him more, and all he truly wants is a moment to prove he's good enough to start, and get paid like it, in this league.
Here's where it gets trickier-
Bradford, McCown, Bridgewater, I"ll even toss Cutler in there.
One of these guys will end up in Denver, my money is on Bridgewater atm, with McCown a close second, no way they touch Cutler. I honestly don't have a clue as to the rest. Buffalo and Jacksonville still seem like logical landing spots for veteran players that can either push Tyrod/Bortles, or maybe even push them out the door.
The others? if they end up mattering, it'll be some out of the blue shock due to injury.
