It seems that maybe there is only like one QB in the league that may not be the subject of trade rumors. Now, ever Cousins apparently is in on it.

Maybe Mahomes is the only guy not subject to rumors.

My brother from another mother, Tashaun pipes in on the Texans/Watson controversy:

Also, one other rumor has been quashed:
In case Jim Irsay's conclusion on Andrew Luck wasn't firm enough for the most hopeful Colts fans last week, his response Thursday slammed the door shut.
Irsay made it crystal clear when speaking with CBS 4's Chris Widlic: Luck is not coming out of retirement to solve Indianapolis' quarterback quandary.
"He's more retired now than he was a year and a half ago," Irsay told Bowen. ... "He definitely is retired and there's really no wiggle room or rumor or anything, as much as people would like to hear that. Believe me, I wish it was true and I was hiding some big announcement ... but that's just not the case."
The hope of Luck doubling back from the freedom of retirement to regain his throne as the Colts' franchise quarterback has lingered in the minds of Colts fans for some time, and the recent retirement of one-year, stopgap quarterback Philip Rivers has only intensified the wishful spreading of rumors. But as Irsay said, Luck is done with the game.
Colts fans would be wise to instead spend their energy on attempting to predict who might replace Rivers -- and leave Luck out of the equation.

I'm going to guess this is not a nod to an old audio name...
I did own a Kenwood way back.... But I like this stuff better, also qualifies as one of my favorite labels... The older vintages had etched bottles, sadly no longer. BTW, if you're ever in Sonoma, the Kenwood tasting room was one of my favorites..

Per this, Jameis Winston has the inside track on Saints starting job for next year:
https://sports.yahoo.com/report-jameis-winston-driver-seat-163830068.html
While quarterback trade rumors and speculation on free agency and the upcoming 2021 NFL draft are swirling, it appears the New Orleans Saints are preparing to stand pat with passers they already know. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport shed some light on the situation during an appearance on “NFL Gameday” ahead of Super Bowl LV kickoff.
“The New Orleans Saints knows this: Drew Brees is set to retire. He hasn’t officially announced it yet, but it’s going to happen,” Rapoport said. “Their quarterback plans for 2021 are this: Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill.”
Hill started four games in 2020 while Brees was on the mend recovering from injuries, and while the Saints did go 3-1 in that stretch his play did leave a lot to be desired. And Saints coach Sean Payton saw enough out of Winston in practice during the season to want to bring the free agent back to New Orleans for a chance to compete for the starting gig in training camp.Rapoport added: “My understanding is Jameis Winston is in the driver’s seat to be the starting quarterback for the Saints next season. He is the potential heir to everything Drew Brees had.”
Winston is one of the most-accomplished quarterbacks headed for the open market. Just 27 years old, he’s already started 70 games in the NFL while completing 61.3% of his attempts and throwing 121 touchdown passes. He also led the league in passing yards in 2019 (5,109). But he’s been prone to turnovers, which was worsened in Bruce Arians’ offense that same year (when he led the NFL with 30 interceptions). In 76 games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he threw 88 interceptions and fumbled 50 times.

AHAHAHAHA.
Omg, they are so screwed. Wentz was flat out broken this year. I know they're hoping for a "Tannehill-ian" resurrection, but that's some rare shit. Wentz holds onto the ball and that's difficult to fix, and I don't think he's that accurate to begin with. I realize teams like the Bears and Colts have to do SOMETHING, but geez...this wreaks of desperation.

Khalil Mack....or Darius Leonard for Carson Wentz? See this article:
https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-rumors-lions-asked-aaron-223446117.html
And, apparently, the Lions asked for Aaron Donald in the deal for Stafford. Rams said NYET.

Carson Wentz has been traded to the Colts:
Philadelphia has agreed to trade Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a 2021 third-round pick and a conditional 2022 second-round pick that could turn into a first, league sources tell and me. -
So. QB Scorecard. Teams that could have a change at QB.......later to be filled in with who they did get:
1. Colts
2. Saints
3. Texans
4. Lions.....Jared Goff....to Lions in trade with Rams
5. Cowboys
6. Bears
7. Jaguars.....belief is that Trevor Lawrence will be the guy...noting official until the draft.
8. Patriots
9. Broncos
10. Washington
11. Eagles
12. Panthers
13. Dolphins
14. Falcons
15. 49ers
16. Steelers
17. Packers
18. Rams? Matt Stafford to Rams in trade for Goff.
Over half the teams in the league.
Note...this does not include Tampa whom we all believe will have stability with a 44 year old QB at the helm.

Update scoreboard. Wentz trade means, I assume Hurts is the man in Philly?
-
Eagles pick at 6.. early enough to get another if Roseman falls in love with someone. Hurts is good enough, though
-
Well, if there was a place where Wentz could get back to where he was, it is in Indianapolis with Frank Reich, who he has a history with.
Because man, he was broken last year.

Yes. Especially since they brought in his old QB coach for him.

I have always liked Wentz, but I hate to see him back in the AFC opposing the Browns come playoff time. I think the change is what he needed.
Mike
IN DORSEY I TRUST -
-- Possible Colts overpaid due to Wentz's personality -> unless he is willing to humble himself and accept a number of changes, he's done.. he was not an NFL quarterback last season. -
I don’t know why the Colts would give up capital like that and take on a contract like that.
the obviously think he can be fixed but they’ve taken a step back in the position and taken on more money and given up more assets in the process.

Because he performed very well under Reich when they were together in Philly, and Reich must obviously believe in him Wentz has the physical talent, its just that his brain has been scattered. Seeing Nick Foles lead the team in the playoffs to a Super Bowl win after he was hurt; the team he led all year long I suspect messed with his head somehow.

With what they paid it Looks like they assumed he would be fixed under Reich.
I can’t say they are a better team with Wentz instead of Rivers and they had to give up picks commit more cash.
I thought the Eagles had no leverage whatsoever- wrong!!!

Yes, I do believe that is the assumption.

Well, they had little. A 3rd and a second for what was the #2 overall pick?
