The Green Bay Packers might have been smart to address their quarterback need early in the offseason. By trading with the Browns on March 9 to get backup QB DeShone Kizer, the Packers beat the free agency rush on QBs.
On March 14, there were 33 quarterbacks thrust onto the marketplace – mostly backups, but also a few blue-chippers. With the signing of Matt Cassel by the Detroit Lions, the list has now been pared down to nine (in order of desirability): Jay Cutler, Matt Moore, Austin Davis, Derek Anderson, T.J. Yates, Mark Sanchez, Kellen Clemons, Ryan Mallet and Scott Tolzien.
