The Carolina Panthers are wrapping up their private visits with the top 2023 quarterback prospects. Ohio State's CJ Stroud and Kentucky's Will Levis will visit with the team next week.
The Panthers have also met with Florida's Anthony Richardson and Bryce Young from Alabama and have attended all of the top prospects' Pro Days. Carolina will have their choie of quarterbacks with the first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft in two weeks. Young is currently the favorite, but we all know it's #lyingseason. more qb news:

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has refused to say who the starting quarterback will be come September and rumors have been swirling all offseason that Mac Jones is on the outs with the team. The potential savior? Bailey Zappe. Zappe says he's ready for the challenge come training camp.
Zappe played four games last season and you could argue that he looked better amidst the Matt Patricia Experiment than Jones did. Zappe threw five touchdowns and three interceptions, with a 100.9 passer rating. It's a small sample size, but if the Patriots are serious about opening up a competition this summer, Zappe is ready for it. More qb news:
Bill Belichick hasn't yet committed to QB Mac Jones starting for the New England Patriots in 2023. I think he's just being Belichick, but others seem to think the tension between the two is real.
We all saw Jones scream on the sideline many times, frustrated. As he had a right to when you make your defensive coordinator your offensive coordinator (?). Jones wasn't bad his rookie season and then went through a dramatic second year as a pawn in the Matt Patricia experiment.
I know Belichick is controlling, but he's not dumb. Let Jones have another year with an actual OC before you ship him off elsewhere. Speaking of, a report also surfaced on Tuesday that Belichick shopped Jones to teams including Washington, Tennessee and Vegas. I'm not so sure about that. more QB news:
The Los Angeles Chargers are looking to sign QB Justin Herbert to a long-term contract extension ASAP. And, according to General Manager Tom Telesco, he's earned it. (He has.)
"I don't have an update on it. There's a lot that will go into it, obviously, with these types of contracts and the amount of numbers that it's going to be. It's just a good problem to have to know you have a franchise quarterback that's now moving into a veteran franchise quarterback. There are a lot of good things that come with that... I know the numbers are going to be big."

QB Ryan Tannehill has a $36.6 million cap hit in 2022, sparking rumors that the Tennessee Titans could move on from him. Personally, I still think it happens, but as of right now, head coach Mike Vrabel is adamant that Tannehill will remain the team's quarterback in 2023. "Of course we do [expect Tannehill to be the QB]. We are in March and we are continuing to build a football team, the best football team we can. And Ryan is getting healthy. He has been putting the work in." If you say so, Mike.
The Titans currently hold the No.11 pick in the NFL Draft - the top guys are all likely to be gone by then. Tennessee could be hoping a guy like Will Levis falls that far, but if not? Can I interest you in a slightly used Lamar Jackson? more qb News:
The New England Patriots are the latest team to say they're uninterested in trading for Lamar Jackson. Head coach Bill Belichick refused to talk about Jackson at all during interviews at the owners' meetings earlier this week; owner Robert Kraft said Meek Mill (yes, Meek Mill) texted him to say Jackson was interested in joining the team. It appears that won't be happening. On top of the financial aspect that Jackson is looking for, the Patriots will also have to give up strong draft capital in order to sign Jackson, something Kraft spoke about earlier this week. And New England is one of the teams in the league who is currently in the 'we'll take all the draft picks we can get' category as they're in the middle of a semi-rebuild. The Patriots haven't seemed like they've been 100% sold on current starting quarterback Mac Jones, as he experienced a sophomore slump in 2022. But he deserves another chance at the helm without last year's disaster of an offensive coordinator (Matt Patricia). The options are dwindling for Sir Lamar Jackson. more qb news:
Former MVP (see how we can use that whenever we want? and Carolina Panthers/New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton threw more than 30 passes on Tuesday at Auburn's Pro Day. Newton obviously is looking for a return to the NFL, as he hasn't played since 2021. Newton was also showcasing his brother, Caylin Newton, a wide receiver.

The New York Giants and Daniel Jones' agent have been working hard at hammering out a new deal for the QB, including meeting in Indianapolis. With Tuesday's franchise tag deadline looming, both sides hope they will get something done before then but are willing to tag him if they can't reach an agreement.
A new report came out on Friday that Jones is asking for more then $45 million per year. This report makes it seem more likely that the Giants will stick the tag on Jones before the deadline. An update suggested on Friday that the team and Jones are progressing in contract talks, and still hope to get a deal done by the deadline. An update late Saturday night stated that Jones' agents left Indianapolis with no deal in sight. As the clock ticks, Monday and Tuesday will be key for the Giants and Jones' team to work something out.

The 2023 NFL Scouting Combine begins this week, and many eyes will be on the quarterbacks. With several teams desperate for a competent QB, some may have to wait for Pro Days before seeing what the young guys can do. Alabama QB Bryce Young will save it for his Pro Day, while other top draft candidates, Ohio State's CJ Stroud and Florida's Anthony Richardson, are expected to workout and throw at the Combine. Kentucky QB Will Levis will also throw at the Combine.
