Kirk Cousins to the 49ers is the worst-kept QB crush in football, so for as much as Hundley could make long-term sense for San Francisco, Brian Hoyer presents a fine stopgap and John Lynch won’t be in a hurry to bring in a young player unless Kyle Shanahan is in love with him.įor what it’s worth, Hundley would be a beautiful fit in a Kyle Shanahan offense, but I digress. I’d put money on Hundley being able to win more games than Osweiler, Kizer, or Kessler this season even with a compressed window to prepare, but with Kizer there, it’s not worth cluttering the evaluation of Kizer. If Kizer looked totally lost, maybe it would be a different story. The presence of DeShone Kizer in Cleveland gives me pause here. Given what the Rams gave up to get Jared Goff, they’re standing pat for now, emphasis on “for now.” Let’s add Chicago, Kansas City, and Houston because each gave up serious draft capital to trade up for rookies in the draft.Īrizona, Buffalo and Washington have unsettled quarterback situations beyond this season, which could make a trade next offseason plausible, but they’re going to ride out this year with Carson Palmer, Tyrod Taylor and Kirk Cousins, so they’re off the board as well. Either way, they’re unlikely to trade for a young QB, even if Luck could miss the whole year. Indianapolis would be on this list, but we don’t know the health situation of Andrew Luck. With that in mind, it’s worth figuring out who might be interested.īarring injuries these team have an absolute, no-doubt settled QB position: Plus, he has only marginally less regular season playing time. Hundley would be under contract through the end of the 2018 season, making him potentially more enticing to teams like McCarron or Jimmy Garoppolo because they would get an extra season before having to pay him a huge deal no team can be sure he is worth. The numbers won’t overwhelm you in the regular season (Ok, they’re pretty bad, albeit limited), but Hundley’s signature game - a virtuoso performance against the Eagles starters in the 2015 preseason - flashed the physical gifts that made him a possible blue chip prospect in the first place. 7 and plays in Green Bay.īrett Hundley went into his final season at UCLA as a potential first-round pick and despite a lackluster year for the Bruins, it was still shocking to see him fall as far as he did, though less surprising as the fact that it was the Packers who stopped that fall. One player teams may look to when filling a potential void wears No. McCarron, but with Paxton Lynch failing to grab hold of the starting job, it’s fair to wonder whether Denver should be looking for a quarterback upgrade. John Elway quickly shot down reports the Broncos were “aggressively” pursuing a trade for Bengals backup A.J. No matter what coaches and general managers say publicly right now, there are teams worried sick about it. As training camp wears on and preseason games yield disconcerting results, the powers that be in front offices start to feel the pressure and no where is that pressure greater than locking down the player under center.
