In 2018, the New Orleans Saints had more intrigue and activity at the quarterback position than they have had at any point since 2006. Of course, it’s just that’s when Drew Brees came to town, not that there was any controversy. There were four quarterbacks on the roster in 2018: Brees, Teddy Bridgewater, Taysom Hill and the rookie that got talked about more for his time on the team’s transaction wire than for playing, J.T. Barrett.
The very casual fan probably doesn’t need to worry about the players on a team’s practice squad. But sometimes they’re local heroes or a favorite from your college team.
