Tier 2:
Jameis Winston, Saints
Note: Winston sat behind Drew Brees in 2020 and was out of sight, out of mind all season. I have a sneaky feeling it will serve him well moving forward, although he may already be pegged QB-next in New Orleans.
Philip Rivers, Colts
Note: Will Rivers return for another season? If so, does he want to change cities and offenses again? Probably not. Plus, his arm looks aged. If he comes back, I imagine it will be in Indianapolis.
Cam Newton, Patriots
Note: Newton didn’t look great for most of the 2020 season, but he literally had no one to throw to. He isn’t as bad as this year made him seem. He has another season or two of starter’s play in him.
Jacoby Brissett, Colts
Note: Brissett isn’t a high-end starter, but the Bears could do worse. In fact, they have. Brissett would be an upgrade over both Trubisky and Foles.
