The 2020 NFL offseason has been bonkers in more ways
John Moore Women Jersey than one. Players and teams can't be in the same room as one another, drafts are set to be held remotely () and we don't have any idea when offseason activities can even begin. Still, all of this change hasn't stopped quarterback movement in the . In fact, it's been in hyperdrive this offseason. Philip Rivers has joined the Colts, Nick Foles was traded to the Bears and, oh yeah, Tom Brady is a Buc. Strange times, indeed.Despite all that movement already, there are still a handful of teams that still either have an immediate need at the position or will be in need in the next few years to come. Below, you'll see a list of seven clubs that fit into that category and we've detailed some realistic avenues they could take to fill those needs, while also giving our best/most plausible recommendation either through the draft, free agency, via trade or a po sible promotion from someone in-house.Teams that you won't find on this list that could fall into this category are the Bengals, Raiders and Bears. For Cincinnati, their position at quarterback is pretty obvious as they are set to take LSU's Joe Burrow with the No. 1 overall pick. As for Chicago and Las Vegas, they both have at least two quarterbacks on the roster that will be battling for QB1 over the course of the early portion of the 2020 season, so it seemed moot to add even more to their situation.Alright, with all that out of the way, let's dig in and find some quarterbacks that can help get these teams get one step closer to contention. Miami DolphinsOptions: Draft Tua Tagovailoa, sign Cam Newton, trade for Jacoby Bri settWhile the Dolphins have been pegged all offseason as the landing spot for Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa, their path to acquiring him isn't as concrete as Cincinnati's with Joe Burrow, which is why they make the list. Currently, they sit at No. 5 overall at the 2020 draft, which does leave the door open for someone to leapfrog them at either No. 2 (WSH) or No. 3 (DET) to take him.Of course, they could also elect to use some of their tremendous draft capital they've compiled to move up and further solidify their position with Tagovailoa. That would
Michael Mcleod Jersey be my recommendation. Brian Flores is building a really strong culture down in Miami and the Dolphins appear to be a team on the rise in the AFC East, especially after dumping a boatload of money on defense by adding corner Byron Jones, linebacker Kyle Van Noy and others this offseason. One of the biggest pieces in the puzzle, however, is finding that franchise quarterback. Tagovailoa appears to be on that trajectory. He has all the talent to be a No. 1 overall prospect, but injuries and Burrow's historic season put all that to rest. That said, now, which should further incentivize Miami to trade up to make sure they get their quarterback.Cam Newton is an honorable
John Moore Men Jersey mention if the Dolphins somehow mi s on Tagovailoa. He's a former league MVP and, if healthy, could help Miami compete almost instantly in the division, especially with Tom Brady moving on to Tampa. I mention Jacoby Bri sett as a Plan C of sorts because of Flores' familiarity with the quarterback from their days in New England. If he wants to bring in a veteran with some upside instead of rolling with Ryan Fitzpatrick again, this wouldn't be a bad option. Best/most plausible recommendation: Trade up to select TagovailoaNew England PatriotsOptions: Draft Jordan Love, trade for Andy Dalton, roll with Jarrett StidhamThe New England Patriots are in unfamiliar territory. Now that Tom Brady is a member of the Bucs, ending their two-decade long relationship, the team is looking for a new starting quarterback to usher in this new era. By all indications, the club's intention is to give second year signal caller Jarrett Stidham every opportunity to take ahold of the starting spot. That would be my recommendation as well, but with a bit of an added twist. Stidham should have every chance to become the starter in New England for at least the 2020 season. After all, he did spent an entire season behind Tom Brady in New England's system, so he should have a leg up on every other quarterback outside of po sibly Brian Hoyer, who is on his third stint with the team. Stidham has also received a lot of praise from various Patriots players this offseason and did have a really strong preseason in 2019, so that has to count for something right?Basically, New England should see what they have in their 2019 fourth round pick, but I don't think they should just stand pat. If someone like Utah State's Jordan Love falls to them at No. 23, it'd take a long look at po sibly making that pick. If they are intent on
Jesper Bratt Jersey allowing Stidham to be QB1 in 2020, however, taking a guy in the first round will hardly help him build his confidence. That's why looking at a second or third tier prospect may not be a bad alternative. If I were to catch Bill Belichick's ear, Jalen Hurts is a pretty appealing prospect for a number of reasons. He'd be an attainable Day 2 selection, provides some long-term insurance if Stidham fails to be a viable starter and worst case could fill a Taysom Hill-type role in Josh McDaniels' offense. Despite playing at Oklahoma last year, Hurts does have a history with Belichick confidant Nick Saban at Alabama, too.Best/most plausible recommendation: Give Jarrett Stidham inside track at starting job and draft Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts Pittsburgh SteelersOptions: Sign Jameis Winston, draft Jacob EasonBen Roethlisberger is on the books for two more seasons and, despite mi sing e sentially all of the 2019 season due to an elbow injury, he plans on returning. With that in mind, Pittsburgh doesn't have an immediate need at quarterback like New England and Miami, but Big Ben is going to enter the 2020 season as a 38-year-old, so the clock is ticking on his time in the NFL. One somewhat positive thing that came out of last season for the Steelers is at least they Mason Rudolph nor Devlin Hodges are the long-term answer post-Roethlisberger, which makes their mi sion of finding a new signal caller to eventually take the reins clear.Pittsburgh could always dip their toe into the draft and select someone like Jacob Eason and develop him over the next few seasons, but I do love the fit and po sible upside of signing former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston. Yes, Winston has his limitations and his decision-making hasn't been a strong suit by any means, but I do think landing in Pittsburgh provides him with one of the best chances of resurrecting his career. For the first time in his NFL life, Winston would have the pre sure of being
Blake Coleman Kids Jersey the starter on a weekly basis completely taken off him and this could give him the time to simply work on correcting his faults. He's still only 26-years-old and did throw for 5,109 yards last season, so there is talent there. It'd
