J.J. McCarthy's abysmal play through six starts has generated a crisis in Minnesota so severe that it's not out of the realm of possibilities that the Vikings' focus in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft will be on quarterbacks.
The NFL moves fast, sometimes faster than players need in order to develop. The Arizona Cardinals drafted Josh Rosen with the No. 10 overall pick in 2018, then selected Kyler Murray a year later after landing the top spot in the 2019 NFL Draft.
The 2018 NFL Draft was loaded with quarterbacks, five of whom were taken in the first round. The first one of that group of five players to reach a Super Bowl is a surprise.
How many of the active NFL players with at least 400 catches in their career can you name in five minutes?
Over the past five years, every team would like a do-over on at least one of its draft picks. As compiled by Yardbarker NFL writers, here are the worst picks for every NFC team since 2018.
A few trades have rearranged the NFL's backup quarterback ranks, but the dust has mostly settled. From a mix of recent first-round disappointments, aging vets, and young project types, here is how the league's QB2 ranks look for the 2026 season.
The Cardinals originally drafted Rosen No. 10 overall in 2018 but moved on from him after a single season. Rosen has yet to find his footing since then.
As the Cleveland Browns prepare themselves for a potential eight-game suspension for newly acquired quarterback Deshaun Watson, the team is keeping their options open.
Rosen, a 2018 first-round draft pick, began the summer with the San Francisco 49ers but was released on Aug. 17.
With A.J. McCarron suffering a season-ending knee injury last weekend, the Falcons brought in the former top 10 pick.
2018 first-round draft pick Josh Rosen is now able to sign with the franchise of his choosing. Whether or not any team wants to take a flier on the quarterback is unknown.
Rosen was always destined to sit third, at absolute best, on the San Francisco depth chart behind Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, and the 24-year-old failed to impress against the Kansas City Chiefs this past Saturday.
NFL stars can't play forever, and retirement is coming sooner than later for some of the league's top players. These 25 players could call it quits following the 2026 season.
Shanahan sitting Garoppolo this weekend might not be a sign of anything, even if Lance takes the field and performs well.
The 23-year-old didn't throw a pass in a game during his third year in the league.
The 23-year-old is 3-13 in his NFL career, completing 54.8% of his passes for 2,845 yards and 12 touchdowns against 19 interceptions.
Josh Rosen signed a practice squad deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an attempt to try and revive his career. Now it appears he'll be active for the first time in a year for the injury-plagued San Francisco 49ers.
The Buccaneers have signed former Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen to their practice squad.
Rosen has struggled on the field during his time in the NFL, throwing 12 touchdowns and 19 interceptions while completing less than 55% of his passes in two seasons.
The Miami Dolphins have a surplus of talent at quarterback and that could lead to one young quarterback finding himself on the trade block for a second time in his career.
