Kenny Pickett QB | LV
Browns' Kenny Pickett: Team adds two rookies to QB room
Pickett has been joined in Cleveland's quarterback room by rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, whom the Browns drafted in the third and fifth rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, respectively.
Cleveland's quarterback depth chart now runs five players deep, including Deshaun Watson, who isn't expected to be available for the beginning of the season as he recovers from a torn Achilles. After trading for Pickett on March 10, the Browns signed the 40-year-old Joe Flacco on April 11, then drafted Gabriel out of Oregon and Sanders out of Colorado. Sanders was viewed as a likely first-round pick before surprisingly dropping in the draft, so he has more immediate upside than the typical fifth-round draft pick. Pickett may be able to thread the needle and win the starting job as a far younger option than Flacco but one with more experience than Sanders or Gabriel, but even in that scenario, Pickett would likely be on a short leash with no shortage of available alternatives under center.

Joe Flacco QB | CIN
Browns' Joe Flacco: Team adds two QBs in draft
Flacco will face additional competition from rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, whom the Browns drafted in the third and fifth rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, respectively.
Deshaun Watson isn't expected to be available for the beginning of the season as he recovers from a torn Achilles, but Cleveland now has four potential Week 1 starting options in Flacco (signed April 11), Kenny Pickett (traded for March 10), Gabriel out of Oregon and Sanders out of Colorado. Even if the 40-year-old Flacco wins the job initially in camp, it likely won't take long until Cleveland turns to one of the three younger options, who possess significantly more long-term upside, especially because Sanders was viewed as a likely first-round pick before surprisingly dropping in the draft.

Drew Lock QB | SEA
Seahawks' Drew Lock: Faces competition for backup job
Lock will face competition for the No. 2 quarterback job behind Sam Darnold after the Seahawks selected Jalen Milroe in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft
For a brief moment, the Seahawks had three capable backups in their quarterback room, but they traded Sam Howell to the Vikings on Day 3 of the draft. Thus, Lock will need to earn the No. 2 job in his second stint with the Seahawks. Milroe has unique tools for the position, showcasing 4.4 speed and a marvelous deep ball, while Lock has experience on his side and is one of the better backups in the league.

Brady Cook: In line to join Jets
Cook is slated to sign with the Jets as an undrafted free agent, Kyle Helms of ABC reports.

Seth Henigan QB | IND
Seth Henigan: In line to sign with Jags
Henigan is slated to sign with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, Raven Moore of WREG Memphis reports.
Henigan started four seasons at Memphis and set records with both 14,266 passing yards and 104 passing touchdowns. The 22-year-old signal-caller is a solid athlete who plays with poise when facing pressure. While he typically makes the right decision, his arm strength is merely average. Henigan will compete with Nick Mullens and John Wolford to be Trevor Lawrence's backup in 2025.

Max Brosmer QB | MIN
Vikings' Max Brosmer: Sticking in Minnesota
Brosmer is signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent.
Brosmer played five seasons at New Hampshire before transferring to Minnesota for his final season. The 24-year-old quarterback put together an adequate campaign, completing 66.5 percent of his passes for 2,828 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. He doesn't offer much as a runner, and he'll look to prove himself in training camp and earn the No. 3 role behind J.J. McCarthy and Sam Howell.

DJ Uiagalelei QB | LAC
DJ Uiagalelei: Intends to sign with Chargers
Uiagalelei is slated to sign with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Uiagalelei finished his five-year college career in Florida State in 2024 after transferring from Clemson. He completed 53.8 percent of his passes for 1,065 yards, four touchdowns and six interceptions in five games for the Seminoles before suffering a season-ending injury to his right hand.

Quinn Ewers QB | MIA
Dolphins' Quinn Ewers: Round 7 pick by Dolphins
The Dolphins selected Ewers in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 231st overall.
Ewers transferred to Texas after a year at Ohio State and started three years for the Longhorns, posting his best to date in 2025 to the tune of 3,472 passing yards and a 31:12 TD:INT ratio over 14 games, earning him Second Team All-SEC. He elected to bypass his final season of college eligibility to turn pro due to Arch Manning waiting in the wings in Austin, and he finally heard his name called in the final round of the draft. Ewers was a high-profile recruit coming out of high school and has battled through injuries throughout his career; however, he possesses some intriguing traits as a development project. He'll slot into a depth role behind Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson in Miami and will aim to prove his worth in training camp.

Kurtis Rourke QB | SF
49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Bay Area bound
The 49ers selected Rourke (knee) in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 227th overall.
Rourke followed in his brother Nathan's footsteps and started his college career at Ohio, where he was a productive three-year starter. He got himself onto the NFL radar after transferring to Indiana and leading the Hoosiers to an improbable run to the College Football Playoff. Rourke threw for 3,042 yards, 29 touchdowns and five interceptions with Indiana. What's more, he showed remarkable toughness by playing the whole season on a torn ACL. Injuries were unfortunately a large part of Rourke's college story with multiple ACL injuries. He projects as a high-level backup in the NFL and should be ready for the start of the season after undergoing knee surgery in January.

Cam Miller QB | MIA
Raiders' Cam Miller: Lands with Las Vegas
The Raiders selected Miller in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 215th overall.
Miller took over the reins from Trey Lance at North Dakota State and had a successful career for the Bison. He led them to an FCS national title in 2024, throwing for 3,251 yards and 33 touchdowns against just four picks. Miller also has wheels with a whopping 48 rushing touchdowns to his credit. At 6-foot-1 and 215 pounds, Miller doesn't possess NFL starter tools but projects to be a backup that can stick in the league.
