🏈 AFC EAST

Bills: Josh Allen — Still elite and under contract as the clear franchise QB.

Dolphins: Quinn Ewers — Likely starter if team moves on from Tua (reportedly open to a fresh start).

Patriots: Drake Maye — Maye has been a starter in 2025; no clear challenger yet.

Jets: 2026 Draft QB (e.g., Dante Moore) — Fields has struggled and Jets have top draft pick (No.2). Reuters

🏈 AFC NORTH

Bengals: Joe Burrow — Franchise cornerstone with elite production.

Ravens: Lamar Jackson — Still top QB talent and leadership.

🏈 AFC SOUTH

Texans: C.J. Stroud — Young star and franchise QB.

Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence — Locked in with past performance and contract.

Titans: Cam Ward — Projection from 2025 starter; could face competition but likely starter. (Based on extrapolated youth investment & draft outlook)

🏈 NFC WEST

49ers: Brock Purdy — Locked in as starter when healthy.

Rams: Ty Simpson / Other rookie talent - The Rams are a great team all out but Stafford is getting old and is likely to retire this off season. Especially if he wins MVP or a Super bowl.

Cardinals: Tyler Huntley — Veteran starter; health is the key variable.
