As is tradition, it’s time to spend the hottest days of the summer discussing something that won’t take place until the spring of next year. The quarterback carousel is relevant in July, though, because long-term planning never takes a rest. I’m not saying that a quarterback-needy team at this very moment is trying to figure out what’s happening with Kirk Cousins, but I am saying that what happens to Cousins this year—and the young, talented QB with upside whom the Atlanta Falcons selected at No. 8 in the draft even after signing Cousins—is going to factor heavily into the plans of a team whose original plan did not work out.
Anyway, here’s a one-liner on every single team I could see maybe, possibly needing a quarterback or a competitive, veteran upgrade going into the 2025 season. Some of these scenarios are far-fetched, but listing out all 19 illustrates what kind of flux the league is in.
