Which NFL teams still need a lead quarterback?
The Texans still appear to be the favorite to land Bryce Young in the NFL Draft.The deadline for NFL teams to apply the franchise tag on their marquee free agents came and went on Tuesday afternoon earlier this week, and as it does every year, the tag deadline spurned action, particularly at the quarterback position.
The New York Giants avoided the need to place the tag on their quarterback Daniel Jones, reaching an agreement on a four year, $160 million deal at the eleventh hour. Personally, I think that deal is going to age very, very poorly, as Jones is one of the more overrated commodities in the league, but hey, Giants fans have their guy, I guess.
Meanwhile, the far juicier scenario is the one playing out in Baltimore, where the Ravens placed the franchise tag on Lamar Jackson. Jackson's getting the tag is not a big shock, as it seemed headed this way for some time, but it was mildly surprising that the Ravens hit Jackson with the non-exclusive tag. While that particular tag costs the Ravens less in salary, it does give Jackson the chance to negotiate a contract with other teams.
So the Giants lock up their guy, and for now, the Ravens at least control their own destiny with Jackson. If they want to keep him, they can. By my count, this leaves eight NFL teams whose desired Week 1 starter is probably not on their current roster. This list includes the Texans. So what is the likely plan for each? Let's examine:Currently, the Texans only have Davis Mills under contract at the QB position.
