NFL QB Carousel: The Teams Most in Need of a New Signal Caller

Cleveland Browns
Deshaun Watson has been a disaster since signing his record-breaking contract and is likely to miss the entire 2025 season after suffering two Achilles tears. To make matters worse, star defensive end Myles Garrett has requested a trade, adding another layer of uncertainty for the organization.

Cleveland, holding the No. 2 overall pick, is one of the most intriguing teams to watch come April. I expect management to trade Garrett for a significant haul and select Penn State DE Abdul Carter, treating 2025 as a bridge year at quarterback while setting their sights on the more highly touted 2026 class.

New York Jets
Reports have emerged that Aaron Rodgers and the Jets will likely part ways, leaving Gang Green again in search of a new starting quarterback. With the seventh overall pick in the 2025 draft, New York will likely miss out on this year’s top QB prospects, making free agency or trade the most probable path to finding their next man under center.

Tennessee Titans
Go back to Weeks 1 and 2 and listen to Titans head coach Brian Callahan — that will tell you all you need to know about what he thinks of Will Levis. While Levis possesses impressive physical tools, the 25-year-old's reckless play and turnover issues (17 in 2024) remain significant concerns. Fortunately for Titans fans, Tennessee picks first overall come April, giving the team a choice of Miami's Cam Ward or Colorado's Shedeur Sanders.

New York Giants
The Giants officially pulled the plug on the Daniel Jones era, releasing the 160-million-dollar man in November. With Tommy DeVito currently atop the team's depth chart, the G-Men are desperate for a franchise signal-caller. Expect management to address the position through the draft, where New York holds the third overall selection.
Las Vegas Raiders
Neither Gardner Minshew nor Aidan O’Connell has proven to be a viable long-term option at quarterback. Las Vegas closed the season with back-to-back wins, leaving the Silver and Black with the sixth overall selection in the 2025 draft. If Ward or Sanders are off the board, expect the Raiders to explore the veteran QB market in free agency for the short term — perhaps a Russell Wilson-Pete Carroll reunion?
