Tom Brady is once again reiterating that he does not intend to return to playing football. Rumors about his return will swirl forever, but recently resurfaced because of his involvement with the Las Vegas Raiders. I won't believe it until I see it, personally.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers tweaked his calf during last week's OTA workouts, and he'll remain limited for a little bit longer, head coach Robert Saleh said. The hope is that he's back to full strength next week.

The Houston Texans picked Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud with the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft; we know this. What is puzzling is that the team fleeced everyone into thinking they weren't taking a quarterback - so much so that several mock drafts as early as two weeks before had the team going defense at No. 2. Texans owner Cal McNair insisted that he had no influence on the pick of Stroud. "Hannah and I don't make the picks," McNair said at the team's charity golf event.
"We have a great group of scouts led by Nick [Caserio] and James Lippert," McNair continued, "and they did a lot of work on the draft board, and then they followed that on draft day, and they moved up when they saw the value was there and moved back."
Houston, famously, picked Stroud at No. 2 and then traded up to take Alabama defensive end Will Anderson Jr. The Texans are certainly doing everything they can to improve their roster, which has been one of the weakest in the NFL for the past few seasons. I, personally, love the presence of new head coach DeMeco Ryans and think he can make a huge impact on trying to change the course of the franchise. It probably won't be this year, or even next, but they definitely have the ability to slowly get better with time. more Qb news:
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:
The New York Jets' offseason program is underway, and new quarterback Aaron Rodgers is in attendance throwing to his new (and old) receivers.
These workouts are voluntary, but the Jets appear to have a good turnout so far. Rodgers, who normally didn't show up to offseason work with the Green Bay Packers, is doing the little things to get in sync with his new team. more QB news
The San Francisco 49ers have been taking calls from teams asking about QB Trey Lance. While that's as far as the process goes, teams calling about his availability before the draft is significant. Brock Purdy is likely to be the starter whenever he is fully recovered from his elbow injury that he sustained in the NFC Championship Game. The Niners also have QB Sam Darnold on the roster. Two intriguing landing spots for Lance could be the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans, as he's familiar with Titans GM Ran Carthon and Titans head coach DeMeco Ryans.
A report states the Minnesota Vikings were one of the teams to speak to Lance at this year's scouting combine. There were also rumors swirling around that time about a potential Kirk Cousins trade, so this may be something to keep an eye on.

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:
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 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.
