Combine week begins - Who is throwing?

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.

Meanwhile, Florida QB Anthony Richardson plans to throw and do all testing and drills, per source. A showcase for the physically gifted Richardson, who has a chance to rise through the pre-draft process. https://t.co/mTgq6sANxa

• While we're still determining the starting quarterback in Tampa Bay, Kyle Trask will get the opportunity to at least compete for the job. Head coach Todd Bowles said that was clear to candidates interviewing for their open offensive coordinator position. The Bucs are a perfect team to sign a veteran to compete with Trask for the starting job.
  

• While there have been rumors of the Dallas Cowboys drafting a quarterback, the team remains committed to Dak Prescott in the long term. However, vice president Stephen Jones says they need to have a plan to extend Prescott beyond 2023. "We've got to have a plan to ultimately extend Dak."
  

• The Washington Commanders are releasing Carson Wentz, saving over $26 million in cap space, a move seen coming from a mile away. Wentz is likely to be a career backup from this day forward.

• Although the Chicago Bears plan to use the No.1 pick in the draft, the team is still meeting with the top QBs in this year's draft. While they seem to be sticking with Justin Fields, it still can't hurt for them to do their homework on the top draft choices.
  

• Desmond Ridder closed out the 2022 season as the Atlanta Falcons starter, but there are no guarantees that'll be how things will begin in 2023. "We're not naming any starters right now. There are a lot of things that can happen... As always, all options are on the table. Anything that we can do to improve this team and help us win - and to ultimately win championships - that's what we're looking for."
  

• Derek Carr will continue his free agency tour, heading to the Scouting Combine to meet with teams. Carr has already met with the New Orleans Saints and New York Jets. Carr has been stressing finding the right fit as he meets with teams.
