The New England Patriots have made some interesting quarterback moves over the past few days - cutting Bailey Zappe and Malik Cunningham. Here's another - they claimed QB Matt Corral off waivers after he was cut by the Carolina Panthers.
The Panthers selected Corral in the 2022 draft before he was sidelined the entirety of the season with a Lisfranc injury. It'll be interesting to see how he fits in with the other QBs on the practice squad - and how much, if any, playing time he sees behind Mac Jones.

Miami Dolphins backup quarterback Mike White is in concussion protocol after this weekend's preseason game.
Despite their fan base spending their custody weekend with their kids shit-talking me on the Internet, the Miami Dolphins have yet another concussion problem on their hands. In what seems like deja-vu from starter Tua Tagovailoa's concussion debacle last season, this is yet another instance that makes you scratch your head (no pun intended).
The Dolphins gave $4.5 million guaranteed to White this offseason to be their backup, but third-stringer Skylar Thompson has shown promise this preseason as well. Miami could have a decision to make as to whom the QB2 will be. The team will likely keep all three QBs on the 53-man roster as an insurance policy. And yes, this concussion is Concussion No. 4 for Dolphins QBs in the past year. more qb news:
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray continues to work his way back from a torn ACL. While it appears he will miss time at the beginning of the season, head coach Jonathan Gannon isn't giving a more specific timeline on when he'll be back.
Murray had ACL reconstruction surgery in January.
As the Cardinals face an "Are We Rebuilding?" year, Murray is under a lot of pressure to perform up to the contract he signed. It's just a matter of when he'll be returning. His replacement will likely be backup QB Colt McCoy, but rookie Clayton Tune has been turning heads in training camp this summer. more qb news:
The Detroit Lions signed free agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on Monday.
Bridgewater will be the backup for starter Jared Goff. The team also has QB Nate Sudfeld and rookie QB Hendon Hooker on the roster, though he's not expected to play in 2023 due to recovering from a torn ACL. The Lions were interested in Bridgewater for a backup role since the spring, even offering him a contract in April. Bridgewater decided to hold out for a starting role, and when that did not surface, Bridgewater went back to Detroit. Bridgewater is heading into his tenth season as an NFL player. His latest stint was with the Miami Dolphins, where he backed up Tua Tagovailoa. more qb news:
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is under a lot of pressure to deliver in 2023. And he's bringing most of it on himself. Fields declared that he will be the first Bears QB to reach 4,000 yards.
I love the confidence.
The franchise record was set by Erik Kramer (who even is that?) in 1995 with 3,838 yards. Fields led all QBs in rushing yards last season, but we'll see in 2023 if he can level up to this high expectation. more qb news:
QB Derek Carr has only been with the New Orleans Saints for a few short months, but he's already having an impact on the guys in the locker room. Second-year receiver Chris Olave says he's building chemistry with Carr and on off the field.
We'll see if this chemistry translates to the regular season, where Olave is looking to build upon his rookie season, and Carr is looking to start a new chapter on a new squad.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is this year's Madden 24 cover athlete. Allen, himself, called this honor, "a childhood dream come true."
Allen is the first Bills player to be featured on the cover and the first cover to feature fans. A good shoutout to #BillsMafia.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be under the microscope this offseason as they determine who will start at quarterback come September. Kyle Trask and Baker Mayfield will be splitting reps for most of the summer. Head coach Todd Bowles discusses the process.

Aaron Rodgers is in attendance for OTAs with the New York Jets, but he wasn't doing much work on Tuesday due to a potential ankle injury. Rodgers was seen limping on the field where he then went to speak with the strength and conditioning staff. The good news? It's May. The best time to get injured.
The injury appeared to be only a "tweak," although it's something worth keeping an eye on as the offseason progresses.
It was later determined that the injury for Rodgers was a calf strain.
While the initial issue seems to minor, it's worth monitoring as calf injuries can tend to linger. But the fact that this happened now is better than it happening later.

I swear if Tom Brady plays in 2023... When asked if he would come out of retirement and play for the Miami Dolphins, Brady didn't say no. In fact, he didn't answer the question at all.
Rumors of Brady to the Dolphins have circulated for years - from the Sean Payton fiasco before he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to him, here, saying he has friends on the Dolphins. Brady has insisted he is retired for real this time, but there's always going to be some doubt, considering he un-retired before. There's no way to tell how Brady will feel once training camp rolls around. And then once the season begins. And then when he's not playing in the postseason and competing for a Super Bowl. Please, Tom, let's not. more Qb news:
