Latest QB Roundup

LKelley67 · 02-20-2005, 02:21 PM

From review of sources near and far this the latest on the coming QB movement-

Garcia- seems to have the most interest. Maybe back with Mariucci in Detroit, Bucs made him an offer last winter, and even possibly back to SF

Bledsoe- a few teams mentioned but Dallas seems prominent. Parcells isnt much on youngsters, especially QB

Brad Johnson- could be reunited with Dennis Green in AZ

Testaverde- Looks destined to be Jets backup

Warner- has been mentioned strongly for Bears since they gave him a look last winter. Detroit definitely wants competition for starter and he is the only one I have seen mentioned in print as having contact with the Saints

Griese- could be back in TB but it will take quite a financial sacrifice after the good year he had

Fielder- have not read a thing on him anywhere

Gannon- ditto, but he might not be able to play again

The team shopping most for a starter is Dallas. I think SF and Cleveland both are uncomfortable picking Rodgers and Smith that high. It does not look prosperous for a trade down for either also. Getting a starter would alleviate the Rodgers/Smith decisions and ability to pick a top 3 RB, DJ, or Edwards or Williams WR. Ditto for the Cardinals preferring to pick a top 3 RB. So another FA QB could open that up. The Bears just want a veteran solid backup for Grossman. The Lions want competition to push Harrington.

Even if not at the top Aaron Rodgers and Alex Smith are going to require a starter pay investment even if they are not handed a job. This makes for quite a bit of signal caller activity. We'll know a lot more in another week or two. Any other major names/movement out there?
