Quarterbacks

Drew Brees QB, New Orleans Saints

-The only blue chip in this group, Brees is scheduled to make $20 million next year on a team that really doesn’t have a great chance at going to the playoffs.

Brian Hoyer QB, Houston Texans

-A rotational guy who seems to be the odd man out in Houston.

Geno Smith QB, New York Jets

-Young and has had flashes, but seems toxic in New York right now.

Overview:

-This is definitely not a deep group and it almost never is. He can’t pry a great quarterback from a team without giving up a ton, and even then most teams won’t trade someone until they are completely satisfied with their starter.

Brees is the clear big name here and he could probably still help a team, but you would imagine that it would need to be a team like Rams or Buffalo Bills who have a strong defense in place and a talented running game. A situation like that would benefit all parties similar to a better version of Carson Palmer in Arizona.
