This class of free agent quarterbacks may be the best the league has seen in recent memory. Typically, there are backups and low-end starters to be found on the open market — and they get way overpaid. This year, there are actual competitive quarterbacks that are slated to be free to sign with another team. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, of course, is among them. But he’s hardly the only established veteran. A franchises will change the trajectory of their team — for 2020 and future seasons — by making a signing this offseason.

Who are the names that fans should be familiar with?

Tom Brady

Brady really needs no explanation, but he’ll get one anyway. Unquestionably one of the greatest of all-time, Brady is coming off a season that was a disappointment in his eyes. The Patriots didn’t make it past Wild Card weekend. A lot of the blame will go towards the lack of weapons and questions surrounding the offensive line, but the 42-year-old did start to show some small signs of his age.

The future Hall of Famer finished 2019 with 4,057 yards, 24 touchdowns, and eight interceptions with a passer rating of 88.0.

In the right situation, Brady will likely still make a team a contender. He’s always said that money isn’t the biggest factor to him, so he’d be looking for a team that can give him what he wants. And what he wants is a great set of weapons and a fair paycheck for his services. Not too long ago it seemed unfathomable for Brady to leave New England, but it seems to be getting closer to that.
