Here are some of the notable quarterbacks currently available as free agents in the 2025 NFL offseason:
- Aaron Rodgers (New York Jets) - 41 years old, former MVP and Hall of Fame candidate, considered the top free agent QB available. He has offers from teams like the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers but has not decided whether to continue playing or retire
- Russell Wilson (Pittsburgh Steelers) - 36 years old, a former Super Bowl champion, seen as a potential stop-gap starter for teams needing experience at QB
- Jameis Winston (Cleveland Browns) - 31 years old, a journeyman QB with starting experience, considered a low-end starter or high-end backup option
- Joe Flacco (Indianapolis Colts) - 40 years old, veteran QB capable of serving as a high-end backup or spot starter
- Teddy Bridgewater (Detroit Lions) - Experienced backup QB, has not played in a game since 2022, suitable as a quality backup
- Carson Wentz (Kansas City Chiefs) - Former Pro Bowler, now more of a QB2 or backup option
- Drew Lock (New York Giants) - 28 years old, has starting experience but inconsistent, seen as a backup option
- Trey Lance (Dallas Cowboys) - 24 years old, young QB with upside but considered a reclamation project
- Desmond Ridder (Las Vegas Raiders) - Young QB with limited success, mainly a backup candidate
- Jeff Driskel (Washington Commanders) - Veteran QB with backup traits, not a strong starter candidate
- Sam Darnold - Recently signed a 3-year deal with Seattle Seahawks but was a top free agent QB option earlier in the offseason
Several of these QBs have signed recently, but others remain available for teams looking for starting or backup quarterbacks in 2025. The market includes a mix of veteran former starters, young QBs with potential, and experienced backups
. This list reflects the situation as of early May 2025 and may change as teams continue to sign players and the NFL Draft occurs. For a full and updated list, consulting NFL free agent trackers or official team announcements is recommended
