2016 FA QBs:
Kirk Cousins (Not going anywhere)
Ryan Fitzpatrick (Yay, a Texans retread!!)
Sam Bradford (Probably not going anywhere)
Brock Osweiler (Maybe, but I doubt DEN lets him go)
Chase Daniel (Might take a look at him as a bridge QB)
Matt Moore (No thanks)
Tarvaris Jackson (No thanks)
Chad Henne (No thanks)
Matt Schaub (No thanks)
Brandon Weeden (No thanks)
Jimmy Clausen (No thanks)
Colt McCoy (Might take a look at him as a bridge QB)
Matt Hasselbeck (No thanks)
Drew Stanton (No thanks)
Dan Orlovsky (No thanks! Amazing how many ex-Texans are on this list, eh?)
Bruce Gradkowski (No thanks)
Charlie Whitehurst (No thanks)
T.J. Yates (Probably deserves to be re-signed just because)
Matt Cassel (No thanks)
Luke McCown (No thanks)
Scott Tolzien (No thanks)
Michael Vick (No thanks)
Matt Flynn (No thanks)
Kellen Clemens (No thanks)
Josh Freeman (No thanks)

Pretty shabby list, I'd say. My assumption is there will be others scrubs like, Geno, Tyler Bray, Brian Hoyer, Matt Barkley, Logan Thomas, etc, etc, etc... As for veterans, who knows, maybe PManning, RG3, JFF, Butt Fumble become available, but they don't inspire me and would probably just get in the way of moving forward with a rookie. I think I'd rather go Yates, Savage, maybe take a look someone like Daniels/McCoy over Yates, and go rookie. This division is bad enough to where you might be able to get by starting a rookie as long he's not a turnover machine.
