Time to get ready to play that favorite off season game; Where's That Quarterback?
I think the number one player on the roulette wheel of free agency has to be Joe Flacco. He meets both major criteria; there's no way in the world his present team is keeping him, and he will draw interest from at least a couple somewheres, if not a whole bunch of them.
Second bouncing ball would be Nick Foles. Or not. The guy was ready to retire until he got to go back to Philadelphia. Is it possible that he let's potential stardom that is more likely getting beaten up playing for a bad team pass and stays with the comforts of the Eagles bench? Maybe. If he doesn't there will be buyers.
Ryan Tannehill. A giant pile of money that has had his shot. If Miami opted to pay him his giant pile of money they would have to ask themselves "what do we do if he finally has that great year?" One great year might make it hard to let him go, but also might lead to them having to give him a new contract at even greater expense and being stuck with a one year flashing dud. I'd say good chance he goes, though not a sure thing like Flacco. I'd say he also gets plenty of "short term to prove yourself" offers at substantial though not eye-popping money.
I think Bridgewater would attract more attention than Tannehill, but is a lot less likely to be out there. Case Keenum is as likely to be out there but won't attract near as much attention. Blake Bortles is an ever looming enigma. A new coach wanting a new quarterback might put an end to Andy Dalton. Anyone else?
