2026 Quarterback Free Agency Preview: Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures

January 9, 2026

Kevin Szafraniec breaks down 2026’s impending free agent quarterback class in addition to discussing a handful of other signal callers who could become available this offseason.

Quarterback is the most important position in professional sports. For NFL teams that don’t have a viable starting QB on their roster, the search to find one should always be their top priority. With the 2026 NFL draft class offering few immediate solutions, the majority of the league’s QB-needy franchises will be forced to look to free agency or the trade market for a suitable starting option. While there are definitely a few intriguing names that will be available, none of them are likely to come cheap given the importance of the position.
