Colts 2019 Quarterback: Andrew Luck (retired preseason), Jacoby Brissett 2020 Quarterback: Phillip Rivers has agreed to a one year deal worth 25 million to make him the Colts’ QB. Jaguars 2019 Quarterback: Nick Foles and Gardner Minshew 2020 Quarterback: Gardner Minshew (or a free agent or drafted QB) AFC WEST Chiefs 2019 Quarterback: Patrick Mahomes 2020 Quarterback: No change Broncos 2019 Quarterback: Joe Flacco and Drew Lock 2020 Quarterback: Battle between Flacco and Lock or the draft Raiders 2019 Quarterback: Derek Carr 2020 Quarterback: The Raiders seem inclined to trade Carr and have backed him up with Marcus Mariota, who they recently signed. Chargers 2019 Quarterback: Phillip Rivers 2020 Quarterback: ? AFC EAST Patriots 2019 Quarterback: Tom Brady 2020 Quarterback: ? Bills 2019 Quarterback: Josh Allen 2020 Quarterback: No change Jets 2019 Quarterback: Sam Darnold (and others when Darnold had Mono) 2020 Quarterback: No change Dolphins 2019 Quarterback: Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen 2020 Quarterback: either of the two or an answer in the draft It seems the Raiders and the Panthers are looking to move Carr and Newton, respectively, while the Patriots and Chargers are the two teams with absolutely no answer at the quarterback position at the moment. Andy Dalton also appears to be a primed candidate to be traded, while Jameis Winston is the best free-agent left on the board, various back-ups like Blake Bortles or Josh McCown are likely to change teams as well. In terms of the draft, that likely is where the Bengals, Dolphins, and possibly even Redskins, Chargers, Broncos, Patriots or the Saints may look for an answer at quarterback.
