NFL free agency: Eight QBs who must be re-signed during the 2026 offseason
Our Summary
As the NFL postseason approaches, several teams are already strategizing for the offseason with a focus on quarterbacks, the most crucial position. With over 60 quarterbacks having started this season, the importance of depth at this position is evident. Key pending free agents include:
-
Malik Willis (Green Bay Packers, Age 26): After a standout performance against the Baltimore Ravens, Willis has shown he can be a reliable starter or a valuable backup, especially with Jordan Love's injury history.
-
Aaron Rodgers (Pittsburgh Steelers, Age 42): Following Mike Tomlin’s departure, uncertainty surrounds Rodgers’ future with the team, although his 2025 performance demonstrated he still has potential to contribute meaningfully.
-
Daniel Jones (Indianapolis Colts, Age 28): Despite a season-ending Achilles injury, the Colts express confidence in Jones as a long-term option, although they are likely to need an interim solution for the upcoming season.
