The Arizona Cardinals will stick quarterback Kyler Murray on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list to begin the season. Murray has been rehabbing an ACL tear from Week 14 in 2022, so this was bound to happen. This move means that Murray will miss the first four games of the season, at a minimum. Onto the good stuff.
The Cardinals released veteran QB Colt McCoy, meaning that he clearly won't be the backup when Murray is out. The team traded for QB Joshua Dobbs last week and have rookie Clayton Tune also on the roster, making the two of them prime candidates for the job. There's still more. Head coach Jonathan Gannon says he won't name a starter ahead of Week 1. We're all on the edges of our seats.
Citing "competitive advantage" here is insane. It might be the only advantage they have.

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.
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 New York Jets offensive line has been up-and-down throughout training camp, and new quarterback Aaron Rodgers is ready to see some consistency. At 39, the less hits Rodgers takes week-to-week, the better.
The Jets have been practicing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, and had some trouble all day Wednesday, per reports.
It's still August, so it's not time to panic yet, but if this issue isn't fixed come September, we could see an even more angrier Rodgers if he finds himself in the turf frequently. more qb news:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QBs Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask are both listed as QB1 on the team's first depth chart.
Head coach Todd Bowles said each QB will start a preseason game. "Whoever starts this game, the other one will start the next game and get the same amount of reps."

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.

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.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to be in the midst of a quarterback competition come training camp, but the team isn't going to force anything from the jump. Baker Mayfield has been impressing the Bucs' staff so far, but Kyle Trask will get his time to prove himself as well, offensive coordinator Dave Canales says.
Mayfield has the experience (including playoff experience) of being a starter, while Trask has the advantage of sitting behind the goat (Tom Brady) for two seasons. On the flip side, Trask's only regular-season NFL playing time was during a meaningless Week 18 game in 2022, while Mayfield has been with four teams now. Both will get a good shot, and as Canales said, "Competition makes everybody great."

The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2018. Now, two out of three of the quarterbacks on that roster are free agents. Carson Wentz has been looking for a new home since his release from the Washington Commanders, and Nick Foles was released by the Indianapolis Colts on Friday.
Both Wentz and Foles could find new teams as backups closer to camp, as teams like to have a good veteran presence heading into the summer.
Or, do they walk away? Foles said recently he is unsure about his future in the NFL after his release from Indy. "Shoot, almost every year of my career I've almost retired. Every offseason, I think, 'Do I still want to play? Do I still want to keep going?' Specifically this last year with everything." more qb news:
One of the biggest things the Green Bay Packers had to do this offseason after trading Aaron Rodgers is figure out what to do with now current starter Jordan Love. The Packers had until 4 pm ET to pick up or decline Love's fifth-year option; instead, they opted to sign him to a two-year deal to replace it. The deal is worth up to $22.5 million, with $13.5 million guaranteed.
This deal is a good bet for both sides - Green Bay gets a starting QB for cheap, while being able to show some confidence in him, Love gets a little more security and a chance to prove it.
If it works - great. The Packers are willing to push some chips into the center of the table in saying that Love is a valuable starter and he could play out the current deal. If it doesn't work, it's manageable for the team and not that expensive. I, personally, have not seen enough of Love to make a determination on how he'll be as a starting QB. I know this deal says that the Packers have seen enough to take the chance - but they also didn't really have much of a choice once the Rodgers trade went through. We'll have to wait and see on this one. more Qb news:
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:
