Top NFL Free Agent Quarterbacks of 2018 (Complete List)

If there's one thing that hurt the playoff chances of NFL squads across the country in 2017, it was injuries to talented signal-callers. Just ask Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers or Deshaun Watson and the Houston Texans. There was also plenty of bad quarterbacking to go around (we're looking at you Cleveland), which makes many NFL free agent quarterback in 2018 a hot commodity.

Some of 2018's free agent QBs will be headed to the Hall of Fame. Others are getting their first crack at a starting gig after a mid-season trade last year. Then there's the Minnesota Vikings who have some serious off-season decisions to make as all three of its quarterbacks enter free agency.

Let's check out some of the most interesting free agent quarterback situations of 2018, as well as a complete list of all free agent QBs that no doubt will be landing with new squads this year.

Kirk Cousins

Expect Cousins' name to be the one most talked about during the off-season after a tumultuous relationship with Redskins' management that saw him get franchised a record two times. 

While his 13 interceptions in 2017 were a bit high, he still threw for 4,093 yards and 27 touchdowns. Could the desperately QB-seeking Denver Broncos be a solid landing spot for Cousins next year?

 

According to reports, the #Broncos are expected to make a “big offer” to QB #KirkCousins. The race for Cousins will likely come down to the #Redskins or #Broncos. Thoughts? – For this move to happen, the #Broncos would have to drop a few salaries. #BroncosCountry

Jimmy Garoppolo

All Jimmy G. did in his first five starts for the 49ers was win them all while throwing for 1,560 yards and 7 touchdowns. The organization has already stated that it will do everything in its power to lock him down long-term in San Francisco.

The 49ers are going to do everything they can to ensure Jimmy Garoppolo sticks around. https://t.co/uP73g5IzEN pic.twitter.com/RiEOg53tgV

Drew Brees

After leading the Saints to a surprising NFC South title behind 4,334 yards passing, 23 touchdowns and just 8 picks, don't expect Brees to be going anywhere anytime soon.

Teddy Bridgewater, Case Keenum and Sam Bradford

What was that famous LeBron James quote? "Not one, not two, not three …"

That's what the free agent QB situation over in Minnesota looks like this off-season, which will no doubt be influenced by how far Keenum takes the #2-seeded Vikings in the playoffs.
