What NFL Teams Need a QB?
With the NFL season winding down, it’s time to start thinking about which teams will be in the market for a new quarterback next year. Here are the teams that could be in the market for a new signal caller, and what they’ll be looking for.
The Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns are in dire need of a QB. They have not had a winning season since 2007 and their current QB, Baker Mayfield, is not getting the job done. The Browns have a lot of talent on their team, but they need a QB that can lead them to victory.
The Browns have the No. 1 and No. 4 overall picks in the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Browns could use those picks on a quarterback, and they have been linked to USC’s Sam Darnold, Wyoming’s Josh Allen and Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield in mock drafts.
Cleveland also has the No. 33 and No. 35 picks in the draft, which will be held April 26-28 in Arlington, Texas.
They are also reportedly interested in signing free-agent QB Kirk Cousins.

The Browns have the No. 1 and No. 4 overall picks in the 2018 NFL Draft, and they are expected to use one of those picks on a quarterback.
The Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills have not had a winning season since 2004. They have not made the playoffs since 1999. In order to get back to being a winning team and making the playoffs, they need a Quarterback.
The Bills traded away QB Tyrod Taylor to the Browns.
The Buffalo Bills enter the 2018 offseason with a new head coach and a new general manager, both of whom inherited a team that went 9-7 and missed the playoffs for the 17th time in 18 years.
In order for the Bills to end their playoff drought, they need to find a quarterback. They have the No. 12 and No. 22 overall picks in the 2018 NFL Draft, but they also have the option of signing a free agent like Kirk Cousins or trading for a veteran like AJ McCarron.
The Bills have been searching for a franchise quarterback since Jim Kelly retired after the 1996 season. They’ve used 23 different quarterbacks since then, including three first-round picks (J.P. Losman, EJ Manuel and Josh Allen), but none of them has been able to lead the team to a playoff victory.
The Bills need to find their franchise quarterback this offseason if they want to end their playoff drought.
They are reportedly interested in signing free-agent QB AJ McCarron.
The Buffalo Bills are reportedly interested in signing free-agent quarterback AJ McCarron, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
McCarron, 27, spent the past four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, serving as a backup to Andy Dalton. He has appeared in 11 career NFL games, completing 66.4 percent of his passes for 1,179 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions.
The Bills have been rumored to be interested in a number of veteran quarterbacks this offseason, including Kirk Cousins, Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Bradford. However, they have yet to sign any of them.
Buffalo also reportedly met with former Browns quarterback Josh McCown on Monday.
The New York Jets
The New York Jets are in need of a quarterback. They haven’t had a good quarterback in years and it is showing. They need someone who can come in and be a leader for this team. They need someone who can make the plays when it counts.
The Jets have the No. 6 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
The New York Jets are in dire need of a quarterback. They have the No. 6 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and they should use it on a signal caller.
The Jets have been linked to many quarterbacks in this year’s draft, including USC’s Sam Darnold, Wyoming’s Josh Allen, Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield, and UCLA’s Josh Rosen. It is still unknown who they will end up taking, but it is clear that they need to find their franchise quarterback.
The Jets have not had a consistent quarterback since the days of Joe Namath. They have had plenty of talented players at the position, but none of them have been able to stay healthy or play up to their potential. The Jets need to find a quarterback who can be the face of the franchise and lead them back to the playoffs.
They are also reportedly interested in signing free-agent QB Teddy Bridgewater.
The New York Jets are reportedly interested in signing free-agent QB Teddy Bridgewater, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Bridgewater, who spent the past two seasons with the New Orleans Saints, is one of the top quarterbacks available in free agency. He is coming off a season in which he threw for 1,384 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions while appearing in all 16 games for the Saints.
The Jets are in need of a quarterback after trading away Sam Darnold to the Carolina Panthers earlier this offseason. They are also expected to release veteran QB Josh McCown.
