Welp. They finally did it. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have named Baker Mayfield their starting quarterback for the 2023 season. He has beaten out the almighty Kyle Trask.

The #Bucs are going with Baker Mayfield as their starting QB, coach Todd Bowles announced.

Head coach Todd Bowles named Mayfield the starter in Tuesday's press conference, stating experience and understanding of the playbook as reasons for getting the starting nod.

Bowles also said Mayfield and most starters will play until about the half in their final preseason game.

more qb news:

  • The Pittsburgh Steelers, and particularly QB Kenny Pickett, has been getting preseason hype as the offense appears to have taken another step forward. But, Pickett says it's time to pump the brakes. "It is preseason, man. Nothing counts, so it is kind of easy to remain motivated because we haven't done anything yet. Everybody understands that." Respect.
  • Rookie quarterback Bryce Young will be starting for the Carolina Panthers come September, but the team still wants him to get a few reps in during preseason. Fine by him. "I trust the coaches wholeheartedly in their approach, what they're doing, the play-calling, everything... They have a plan. Whatever that is, I don't question it. I just go in and try to execute."
  • QB John Wolford returned to practice on Tuesday for the Buccaneers.
  • Anthony Richardson will start for the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night.
  • Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon isn't ready to name a starting quarterback for Week 1. But we know it won't be Kyler Murray. "When we need to name the starters we'll name the starters." The choices are vast - veteran Colt McCoy or rookie Clayton Tune. I'm shaking with anticipation.
  • We'll get our first look at QB Aaron Rodgers in a New York Jets uniform during their last preseason game. While there may be concerns about injuries, head coach Robert Saleh says anything can happen at any time. "You can't coach scared, you can't play scared. You can slip out of your car and have something happen to you. Knock on wood, everyone will be fine."
    • As far as Rodgers goes (he hasn't played in a preseason game since 2018), he says, " I used to enjoy playing in the preseason back in my younger years, just to kind of maybe take that first hit or feel the nerves on the first drive. So, I look forward to being out there."

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis left practice on Thursday and did not return. Levis is dealing with a lower body injury, and his status for this weekend's preseason game is up in the air.

Only managed hockey report on Will Levis so far:

Injury is lower body. #Titans.

— Paul Kuharsky (@PaulKuharskyNFL) August 17, 2023
Malik Willis is already expected to start preseason Week Two. Head coach Mike Vrabel said they will see where he's at come Saturday.

more qb news:

  • Russell Wilson is hoping for a turnaround after last season for the Denver Broncos (because it can't really get much worse). Wilson is seeing things come together on offense throughout training camp. "The biggest thing is trying to get the ball to our playmakers' hands, in whatever way that is. We've got a lot of ways to do that. Coach [Sean]Payton] really knows how to do that and dial it up. I think that it's all coming together and we're working our butts off." Russell Wilson said 'butt'?
  • Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said the team will play QB Josh Allen, other starters into the second quarter during this week's preseason game.

McDermott says Cam Lewis and Damien Harris will still be limited at practice today.

Starters, including Josh Allen, will play about a quarter and a half on Saturday.

“Simply put, it’s to get them ready for the season.”#Bills @WGRZ

— Jonathan Acosta (@_jacosta) August 17, 2023
  • Kenny Pickett, other Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to get more playing time this weekend vs. Bills.
  • Sam Darnold will likely get the start for Week 2 of the preseason. "It's not set in stone," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. "What I said last week, we wanted Trey [Lance] to get the majority of the first half so Sam could get the next week."
    • Shanahan also said presumed starter Brock Purdy may play a series or two on Saturday. "We plan on Sam going the first half still... I might get Brock in there for a little bit. I haven't finalized that yet, but thinking about playing the ones, for possibly a series, a little in the first quarter."
  • Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans says rookie QB CJ Stroud will start in preseason Week 2.

Texans HC DeMeco Ryans said QB CJ Stroud will start vs. Dolphins on Saturday (4 p.m., NFL Network).

2nd straight preseason start for Stroud. All healthy starters expected to play.

  • The New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers practiced against each other this week, and linebacker Matt Judon likes what he sees so far from first-year starter Jordan Love.

Asked Pats LB Matthew Judon what were his impressions of Jordan Love through 2 joint practices: “He’s a good kid, very calm, composed. I think he’s going to be a great leader for this organization, a good player. We all can see the arm talent. He’s got some nice arm talent.”

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 17, 2023
  • What does Patrick Mahomes want to see himself do more of? The good ol' QB Sneak. "I'll always want to because I always say that I haven't got stopped yet. Because even the one that my knee got hurt on, I still got the first down." Damn, okay.
  • Justin Fields will not play for the Chicago Bears on Saturday.
  • Deshaun Watson did not play for the Cleveland Browns in Thursday's preseason game, but he wants to play a quarter in the next one. "I would love to be out there. I'm not sure how much exactly because I know Kevin [Stefanski] doesn't want us to play the whole game, but get a little rhythm going for maybe a quarter against the Super Bowl champs and just to have that test I think would be fun."

Chris Olave building connection with Derek Carr

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.

"I love him. I love him as a person. And he's a great leader on and off the field."

.@ChrisOlave_ is already fired up to play with Derek Carr. pic.twitter.com/NfP0GVNtxD

— Jim Rome (@jimrome) June 26, 2023
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.

more qb news:

  • Joe Lombardi is the new offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos under head coach Sean Payton, and both are tasked with turning QB Russell Wilson into the old Wilson. Along with getting healthy, Lombardi says he's pleased with Wilson's progress through the offseason program. "I don't know what's going to happen, but we're really happy with where he's at."
  • While wide receiver Stefon Diggs was skipping Buffalo Bills offseason workouts, quarterback Josh Allen was working with new receiver Trent Sherfield. And so far, he likes what he sees. "I've loved what I've seen from Trent so far; the dude works extremely hard. He's one of the hardest-working guys on the team. Doesn't complain about anything. He's rolling right now." Hmm.. Unlike someone else?
  • Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett had two concussions in 2022 - which is wild to think about considering Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa was the one everyone thought about when it came to concussions last season - and obviously, he's looking for that not to happen again. Pickett is open to trying the new Vicis helmet which is aimed at better protecting the head of the QB when they fall onto the turf. Pickett says he has no qualms about trying the new headgear. "I showed up and it was in my locker. I told them, 'Yes, I will try it. Throw it in there.'"
  • Former NFL QB Ryan Mallett passed away Tuesday in a swimming accident. He was 35. Ryan was full of life whenever I was around him and I wish my sincerest condolences to his family and friends. RIP ?

Jimmy Garoppolo had foot surgery in March

During Las Vegas Raiders OTAs, new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo did not participate in practice, as he has not been cleared.

.@Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo has not been cleared to practice due to foot injury. Could be out until training camp

— Vincent Bonsignore (@VinnyBonsignore) May 25, 2023
Garoppolo had surgery on his foot in March and is expected to miss Raiders OTAs. Garoppolo's rehabilitation timeline is uncertain, but the feeling in the building is that he should be ready by the beginning of the season at the latest. Head coach Josh McDaniels refused to comment on Garoppolo's surgery on Thursday, the severity, and the timeline of recovery.

By focusing on his recovery, Garoppolo aims to strengthen his foot and regain full mobility - however less time with new teammates and being on a new team in general is likely not going to be beneficial for him.

More qb news:

  • Trey Lance and Patrick Mahomes were spotted working out together earlier this offseason. The young San Francisco 49ers QB and the reigning Super Bowl MVP are both known for their athleticism. Lance says he took away a lot about what Mahomes taught him. "I learned a ton. I was able to focus on the right things. Just having a better idea, even better this year coming into year three of what is expected of me, how to run the offense, being able to watch Jimmy [Garoppolo] and Brock [Purdy] play at such a high level."
  • Indianapolis Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson is splitting first-team reps with Gardner Minshew so far in OTAs. While it's expected that Richardson will be the starter in September, it looks like he'll have to earn it.

Colts have wrapped up today's OTA practice. Coach Shane Steichen says he had Gardner Minshew and Anthony Richardson split first-team QB reps because it is major step in their evaluation of Richardson.

"Everything is an evaluation," he said.

— Stephen Holder (@HolderStephen) May 25, 2023
  • Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson showed up to OTAs looking noticeably thinner and leaner. While he didn't go into details about how much weight he lost, Wilson is likely aiming to enhance his agility, speed, and overall performance on the field for the upcoming season.

Russell Wilson looks slimmer: "I feel great. I feel lean and mean ready to go. And focused. ''
How many pounds has he dropped?
"I'm not worried about that, I'm not counting. All I know is I'm excited to play again."#9sports

— Mike Klis (@mikeklis) May 25, 2023
  • The Pittsburgh Steelers signed WR Allen Robinson this offseason, and so far, he's impressed with second-year QB Kenny Pickett. "I was impressed when I got here. Watching somebody from the outside looking in, you definitely see the talent. Once you actually get in the facility and are able to be around Kenny, you see why he is successful."

Aaron Rodgers has minor calf injury during otas

5/24/2023

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.

Aaron Rodgers may have hurt his ankle during a drill; he was limping a little bit. He’s off to the side and not working out with the other QBs. #TakeFlight pic.twitter.com/tJ1T8tsHfT

— Justin Walters (@JustinWaltersTV) May 23, 2023
It was later determined that the injury for Rodgers was a calf strain.

I’m told Aaron Rodgers has a strained calf, per sources. It’s considered minor as of now. The anticipation is he should be back fairly quick. #Jets

— JosinaAnderson (@JosinaAnderson) May 23, 2023
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.

more qb news:

  • Geno Smith had a career year in 2022 with the Seattle Seahawks and is looking to continue the trend. Smith secured a three-year, $105 million contract this offseason, but Smith says he's still taking his career one year at a time. "It's still year-by-year. I've got to look at it like that. It's one year at a time for me."
  • The Carolina Panthers picked QB Bryce Young with the first pick in the 2023 draft, but they also made sure to have strong veteran support for Young as he heads into his first season as a professional. One strong supporter is veteran QB Andy Dalton, who will take over as the mentor role as Young transitions to the NFL. And so far, Dalton likes what he sees from the rookie. "Bryce's been great from the day he got here. I think that's the reason why we picked him, because of his makeup. Smart kid - nothing seems too big for him."
  • The Houston Texans drafted rookie CJ Stroud with the second pick in this year's draft, but QB Davis Mills says he's still working on competing for the starting spot.

  • Lamar Jackson reported to Baltimore Ravens OTAs on Day 2 of workouts.
  • Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa said earlier this offseason he was going to incorporate martial arts training, specifically jiu-jitsu into his workout routine. Now, head coach Mike McDaniel says the team has involved martial arts-style training into all the Dolphins' QBs' workouts. "We've incorporated it into some of the drill work we do with the quarterbacks."
  • Jordan Love has entered his first offseason as a starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur sees some things he can work on - but there are things he's doing well, too.

Matt LaFleur on Jordan Love’s first two days of OTAs: “A lot of good things and a lot to clean up.”

Also added “We’ve got to see what everybody else around him can do, too.”

  • Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger went on a podcast saying he wasn't initially rooting for second-year QB Kenny Pickett because he didn't want the fans to forget about him. Eyeroll city. Pickett took the high road. "We'll continue to build that relationship, and I'll reach out if I have any questions. I'm excited to go into Year Two with another guy in my corner pulling for me."
  • The San Francisco 49ers' QB battle has begun. Enter Brock Purdy and his elbow. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy's plan is to begin throwing sometime next week, putting him in the clear to return for training camp.
    • While the plan is for Purdy to be ready to go for the season opener, Purdy says he's "feeling good and taking it one day at a time. I feel good. Arm is feeling good. So, to say I'm going to be ready by this time or this time, we're not trying to label any kind of timeline like that."

#49ers HC Kyle Shanahan says Brock Purdy will be allowed to start throwing sometime next week.

Steelers extend backup Mitch Trubisky

5/18/2023

Picture

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed backup QB Mitch Trubisky to a two-year contract extension. General Manager Omar Khan announced a deal was close on the Pat McAfee Show, and a confirmed deal was announced shortly thereafter.

Details: It’s a 2-year extension for Mitch Trubisky that also lowers the QB’s cap number for the 2023 season (previously $10M). The two sides have agreed, as Omar Khan said on @PatMcAfeeShow. https://t.co/LdE6gNvY3J

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) May 18, 2023
Trubisky started for the Steelers for a short time before the team handed the keys to Kenny Pickett, who will be the expected starter in 2023. Trubisky is a solid backup who can win you a game or two if needed, but probably isn't consistent enough to be a starter in the NFL.

Pittsburgh also re-signed third-stringer Mason Rudolph earlier this week, giving Pickett a strong sense of continuity in the quarterback room for September.

more qb news:

  • The Indianapolis Colts picked QB Anthony Richardson with the No. 4 pick in this year's draft, and he's impressed the organization thus far. Including QB Gardner Minshew. "He's making the right checks, doing that kind of stuff. And that's how you kind of gradually earn respect, and, eventually, earn that kind of leadership spot. I think he's coming out with a great attitude, very humble, willing to learn, willing to admit he's wrong. Those are all very important things in the process of getting better."
  • Matt Ryan recently inked a new broadcasting deal with CBS, but he isn't officially retiring. Ryan says he has learned not to "shut any doors" when it comes to the NFL and has no plans to retire as of right now. Translation: He gets $12 million from the Colts for not playing.

Former #Falcons and #Colts QB Matt Ryan to ⁦@SiriusXMNFL⁩ on possible return: “All the stars would have to (align). I've just learned, at least during my experience in the 15 years I've played, to just not shut any doors.”

  • Orlando Brown will be protecting a new quarterback in 2023, and so far, he's a fan of Joe Burrow. "He's just cool. Very easy to talk to. Very personable. Very much himself around every single setting that I've been around. Friends, people on the team, whatever it is. As a man, it's easy to respect another man like that. When you've got a quarterback like that, the sky's the limit."
  • Josh McCown has been a strong presence in the Carolina Panthers' coaching rooms as of late, attending prospects' Pro Days and working directly with the QB room. McCown said his main job right now is to translate rookie QB Bryce Young's skillset to the NFL.
    • The Panthers released QB Jacob Eason.

Panthers QB coach Josh McCown on Bryce Young's footwork: "He has a playmaking capacity to him that's special to his game, and we want to honor that. But at the NFL, we have to help him mold what he does best to the NFL. That's a fun process."

Current free agent QB Matt Ryan hasn't announced his retirement yet, but based on his latest career venture (and to be honest, last year's performance), it seems like it may be a reality soon. Ryan announced he will be joining CBS Sports as an analyst, both in studio and in-game. Ryan says in a Twitter post that he is not retiring - because he's still owed money from the Indianapolis Colts.

Excited to join the @NFLonCBS family! Looking forward to breaking down the game this season.

P.S. - this is not a retirement post □ pic.twitter.com/4fCTVpFxK0

If Ryan does decide to retire, he will do so with zero Super Bowls.

more qb news:

  • The Carolina Panthers are determined to make rookie QB Bryce Young earn his starting job. Head coach Frank Reich says veteran Andy Dalton will be taking first-team reps in OTAs, but plans for Young to get more reps. "When he's ready, when it's best for the team, that's when we'll look to make the transition. But when we come back out Monday, Andy will be taking reps with the ones, Bryce will be with the twos. But Bryce is gonna get a lot of reps. He'll likely even get a few more than Andy just as the new guy." If you're confused, so am I.
  • QB Mason Rudolph agreed to re-sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers after two months as a free agent. Rudolph did not like being inactive for the majority of the season in 2023, but it appears that may be the best it's gonna get for Rudolph.

The Indianapolis Colts worked out top QB prospects CJ Stroud and Bryce Young on Monday. The Colts pick at No. 4 in this year's NFL Draft and are in desperate need of a quarterback after starting the corpse of Matt Ryan in 2022.

Indianapolis will also work out prospect Will Levis on Thursday in Lexington, Kentucky.

The Colts have been linked to QB Lamar Jackson as well, which could be an interesting option should the QB they prefer go before they are on the clock. The team also signed QB Gardner Minshew this offseason.

Both Stroud and Young will have various visits in the next coming days as they meet with teams. Stroud will visit the Houston Texans on Wednesday.

more Qb news:

  • Will Levis visited the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday. The Raiders hold the overall No. 7 pick in this year's draft.
    • Anthony Richardson will also visit with the Raiders this week - on Friday.
  • Hendon Hooker will visit with the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday.
  • Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett is heading into his second season in 2023, and a lot of folks are counting on him to make a big jump. Pickett improved a little bit each week, and he says he attributes most of that to him getting out there and playing. "The biggest growth for me was mentally. Just understanding of the system. It comes with reps. You want that fast. You can study on paper, you can study in the film room, but sometimes you really just need to go through some things and see it with your own eyes and then watch yourself go through it on tape."
  • Georgia quarterback and draft prospect Stetson Bennett was arrested earlier this year for public intoxication (college... ever heard of it?). His arrest video has been released, if you're into that sort of thing.
  • Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford missed half of 2022 with a scary spinal cord injury, but head coach Sean McVay says he'll have no limitations heading into the offseason program. McVay hopes Stafford not only stays healthy, but comes back with a vengeance. "I think this is the first offseason in a long time that he's actually feeling good. He's been able to throw. He's been able to kind of start his rhythm and routine a little bit earlier than previous years."

More qB news:

  • Plenty of New England Patriots fans were divided on the decision to start either Bailey Zappe or Mac Jones last season. Apparently, that was not limited to just the fans. Recently retired teammate Devin McCourty said some players wanted Zappe under center, while others favored Jones. "I think there were some guys in the locker room that were like, 'Let's go with Zappe.' Or, 'No, Mac looked good today.' It was just a back and forth, which to me, spoke more about what we had on offense than the quarterback." -stares at Matt Patricia
  • Nothing has happened yet between Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets, after almost a week of Rodgers saying his intentions were to play with the team in 2023. Green Bay Packers CEO Mark Murphy isn't letting the details slip, either. "I would love to tell you everything you want to know about Aaron Rodgers and the Jets but I'm sworn to secrecy not to say anything," he said.
  • The San Francisco 49ers desperately needed a quarterback in the NFC Championship Game, but it wasn't for not trying. Recently retired QB Ben Roethlisberger claims the team contacted him to see just how interested he was in returning to the field. "They were, I think, reaching out maybe just to gauge my interest. I had discussions... I'd be lying if I didn't say there was a small part of me that was intrigued."

The Giants have a big Daniel jones decision looming

3/6/2023

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.

Giants GM Joe Schoen on contract talks with QB Daniel Jones, from @gmfb this morning:

"You're starting to feel the time crunch a little bit. I wish we were a little bit closer on a deal than what we are right now. But again, there's still time."

— Ralph Vacchiano (@RalphVacchiano) March 2, 2023

Have heard in recent days there has been progress between Daniel Jones and the #Giants. Getting something done by Tuesday doesn’t seem unreasonable. It sounds as if there will be a four at the front of the annual salary.

more QB news:

  • The New Orleans Saints are in the veteran (and possibly rookie) quarterback market and have met with free agent QB Derek Carr twice. Head coach Dennis Allen spoke highly of Carr, stating that he's the type of quarterback the Saints are looking for. "I think he's highly competitive; he's highly intelligent; he's got a great work ethic; he's an outstanding leader. Those are all qualities I like about him, and those are qualities that we like in the quarterback position."
    • Carr has met with the New York Jets twice, and head coach Robert Saleh also had good things to say about the free agent. Saleh compared his situation to Matthew Stafford's a few seasons ago before getting traded to the Los Angeles Rams. "I think he's more in line with what Stafford's career has been. If you can just get him to a place that can surround him with all the pieces to just allow him to play quarterback 10-15 times a game, it would be pretty cool."
    • A report surfaced on Sunday that Carr has a "slight lean" towards the Jets.

While the #Panthers and #Saints remain in the conversation for Derek Carr, the former Pro Bowl quarterback has a slight lean toward the #Jets as his next home as of now, per source. Nothing is final, but Jets -- who are linked to Aaron Rodgers -- have made an impression.

  • Quarterback Sam Howell only played one game in 2022 for the Washington Commanders, and it was in Week 18, but he has the support of his teammates who worked with him throughout the season. Wide receiver Jahan Dotson said Howell is ready to compete for the starting job in 2023. "I know he's ready for the opportunity. He has all the talent in the world. Literally, he can make every single throw on the football field, and he makes it look effortless."
  • The Las Vegas Raiders are the current betting favorites to land QB Aaron Rodgers, should he decide not to retire from the NFL.
  • QB Bryce Young has been ranked in the top ten by most experts, yet one of the knocks against him has been his size. But, according to most evaluators, size doesn't matter when having Young on the top of their draft boards. It'll be interesting to see which team wins the war of trading up with the Chicago Bears for the No. 1 pick.

From NFL Now: Bryce Young will be measured tomorrow, but whatever the answers end up being are unlikely to affect his status as the probable top pick. pic.twitter.com/9vLzrD53aS

  • Wide receiver prospect Jordan Addison played with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett in college before transferring and says he wouldn't mind playing with him again in the NFL. "That'll help the transitions a lot. Just having your former quarterback, you already got a relationship, No. 1, and then that trust factor."
  • The New England Patriots plan to release veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer at the start of the new league year.
  • The Miami Dolphins have until May to decide on Tua Tagovailoa's fifth-year option and have an even bigger decision to make beyond that. With Tagovailoa's health concerns, the Dolphins are exploring all options at the position moving forward.
