NFL free agency starts next week and four free-agent quarterbacks—two future Hall-of-Famers, the 2019 passing yardage leader and the reigning Comeback Player of the Year—could all wear different uniforms in 2020. While Drew Brees has announced his intention to play (at least) one more season (only with the Saints) and the Cowboys will undoubtedly use their franchise tag on Dak Prescott absent a new deal, this year’s crop of free-agent quarterbacks offers more intrigue than any in recent memory. At this point, it seems as likely that Tom Brady will end his career outside of Foxboro as it is that he will retire a Patriot. Then again, “nobody knows anything.” When it comes to Philip Rivers, we know that he will play elsewhere in 2020 and Indianapolis seems like an ideal fit given his connections to head coach Frank Reich and offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni.
