2025 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks
2025 NFL Free Agent Movement: Quarterbacks In fantasy football, there is no offseason. Before the NFL finalizes its year, fantasy football fans are preparing for the next draft season. That is especially true in dynasty football. Part of good preparation is knowing about the upcoming crop of NFL free agents. The draft can dramatically shake rosters. However, free agency begins in March and is the first major event of the “new” season. Therefore, it is important to note which veterans are signing and how that could impact the upcoming NFL draft. Let’s start with the most important position, which kicks off FullTime Fantasy‘s free agent analysis. This is our 2025 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks. Player Pos. 2024 Team 2025 Team Type Age 2024 Salary Sam Darnold QB Vikings Seahawks UFA 28 $10,000,000 Zach Wilson QB Broncos Dolphins UFA 26 $8,787,695 Trey Lance QB Cowboys Chargers UFA 25 $8,526,315 Jacoby Brissett QB Patriots Cardinals UFA 33 $8,000,000 Marcus Mariota QB Commanders Commanders UFA 32 $6,000,000 Gardner Minshew QB Raiders Chiefs UFA 29 $5,840,000 Drew Lock QB Giants Seahawks UFA 29 $5,000,000 Jarrett Stidham QB Broncos Broncos UFA 29 $5,000,000 Andy Dalton QB Panthers Panthers UFA 38 $5,000,000 Justin Fields QB Steelers Jets UFA 26 $4,717,988 Joe Flacco QB Colts Browns UFA 40 $4,500,000 Jameis Winston QB Browns Giants UFA 31 $4,000,000 Mac Jones QB Jaguars 49ers UFA 27 $3,896,585 Jimmy Garoppolo QB Rams Rams UFA 34 $3,178,750 Daniel Jones QB Vikings Colts UFA 28 $3,125,000 Mason Rudolph QB Titans Steelers UFA 30 $2,870,000 Easton Stick QB Chargers UFA 30 $2,667,500 Taylor Heinicke QB Chargers Chargers UFA 32 $2,530,000 Cooper Rush QB Cowboys Ravens UFA 32 $2,500,000 Carson Wentz QB Chiefs UFA 33 $2,500,000 Joshua Dobbs QB 49ers Patriots UFA 30 $2,250,000 Brandon Allen QB 49ers Titans UFA 33 $2,020,000 Nick Mullens QB Vikings Jaguars UFA 30 $1,900,000 Kyle Trask QB Buccaneers Buccaneers UFA 27 $1,383,834 Josh Johnson QB Ravens Commanders UFA 39 $1,377,500 C.J. Beathard QB Jaguars UFA 32 $1,310,000 Kyle Allen QB Steelers UFA 29 $1,292,500 Russell Wilson QB Steelers Giants UFA 37 $1,210,000 Teddy Bridgewater QB Lions RETIRED UFA 33 $1,210,000 Jeff Driskel QB Commanders UFA 32 $1,150,000 Tyler Huntley QB Dolphins UFA 27 $1,125,000 Tim Boyle QB Giants Titans UFA 31 $1,125,000 Shane Buechele QB Bills UFA 27 $1,025,000 Feleipe Franks QB Panthers RFA 28 $985,000 Bailey Zappe QB Browns Chiefs SFA 26 $985,000 Desmond Ridder QB Raiders Raiders RFA 26 $985,000 Sam Ehlinger QB Colts RFA 27 $902,676 Tommy DeVito QB Giants Giants UFA 27 $832,500 Jason Bean QB Colts UFA 26 $840,000 Undeniably, Sam Darnold made himself a lot of money in 2024. However, the biggest concern is what teams are willing to make him a long-term offer as a franchise signal-caller. Darnold was on the path to a career journeyman before an injury and Kevin O’Connell put him in a position to succeed. Therefore, the best-case scenario for Darnold would be to re-sign in Minnesota. However, with J.J. McCarthy already in the fold, O’Connell and company may not be willing to spend $150 million to land Darnold for multiple years. Another thing helping Darold’s value is the complete lack of talent available in the remaining crop of 2025 free-agent quarterbacks. Russell Wilson is a declining asset but he can still be an average starter in the right situation. But at 36, his best days are behind him. The QB that Wilson replaced in Pittsburgh, Justin Fields, looks destined to be a backup. In all, the 2025 QB free-agent crop is one of the worst seasons in memory to require a veteran signal-caller.

2024 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks
2024 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks In fantasy football, there is no offseason. Before the NFL finalizes its year, fantasy football fans are preparing for the next draft season. That is especially true in dynasty football. Part of good preparation is knowing about the upcoming crop of NFL free agents. The draft can shake rosters up dramatically. However, free agency begins in March and is the first major event of the “new” season. Therefore, it is important to take note of which veterans are signing and how that could impact the upcoming NFL draft. To kick off FullTime Fantasy‘s free agent analysis, let’s open with the most important position. This is our 2024 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks. PLAYER POS TEAM AGE Kirk Cousins QB MIN 36 Baker Mayfield QB TB 29 Joe Flacco QB CLE 38 Gardner Minshew QB IND 28 Ryan Tannehill QB TEN 36 Jameis Winston QB NO 30 Jacoby Brissett QB WAS 31 Sam Darnold QB SF 27 Tyrod Taylor QB NYG 35 Joshua Dobbs QB MIN 29 Carson Wentz QB LAR 31 Marcus Mariota QB PHI 31 Sam Darnold QB SF 27 Drew Lock QB SEA 28 Mason Rudolph QB PIT 29 Trevor Siemian QB NYJ 32 Tyler Huntley QB BAL 27 Matt Barkley QB JAC 33 Kyle Allen QB BUF 28 Brett Rypien QB LAR 28 Blaine Gabbert QB KC 34 P.J. Walker QB CLE 28 Nathan Peterman QB CHI 29 Will Grier QB LAC 28 Jeff Driskel QB CLE 30 A.J. McCarron QB CIN 33 John Wolford QB TB 28 Brandon Allen QB SF 31 Logan Woodside QB ATL 29 Josh Johnson QB TB 37 Easily the top signal-caller available this year is Kirk Cousins. Cousins averaged 4,187 passing yards and 30.6 touchdown passes per season in his first five years with the Vikings. He was having his finest season to date in 2023 before a knee injury ended it after eight games. Cousins is still in his prime and could command something like a 3-year, $120 million deal this spring. This best-case scenario for fantasy would be re-signing with the Vikings. Baker Mayfield signed a modest 1-year $4 million deal with Tampa and delivered his finest NFL campaign. Mayfield threw for a career-high 28 touchdowns and led the Buccaneers to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. He exceeded all expectations and will command 6-7 times that 2023 salary on the open market. The Browns will have an interesting decision with re-signing Joe Flacco. Unfortunately for Cleveland, Deshaun Watson’s exuberant contract is fully guaranteed. Undoubtedly the Browns would like to have Flacco return, but he’ll earn a lot more than the $2.5 million he earned guiding the Browns into Wild Card weekend. Overall, Cousins and Mayfield are the only notable veterans who are fantasy-relevant. The 2024 free agents: quarterbacks class is very weak.
