2025 NFL QB market: Teams in need of a reset, and potential replacements

With the NFL season reaching its midpoint, several teams are already looking ahead to the offseason to address their biggest needs. Considering the importance and impact of the quarterback position on game outcomes, executives and coaches are already pondering the possibilities available following the NFL and college seasons. 

Looking ahead to the 2025 quarterback class, it could be hard for teams to find a franchise player in the draft. While three or four quarterbacks might emerge as first-round prospects, evaluators will look hard at Colorado's Shedeur Sanders, Texas' Quinn Ewers, Miami's Cam Ward and Georgia's Carson Beck to see if they are worthy of being considered elite prospects. With a lot of games left to play, the draft's blue-chip prospects will have a chance to cement their status with solid performances against elite competition down the stretch. 

If teams are looking for a veteran to add to the roster, some intriguing options on the market could serve as short-term solutions. Whether teams take a chance on Sam Darnold or Justin Fields after a string of solid performances to start the season or roll the dice with Jameis Winston, Joe Flacco and Russell Wilson as seasoned veterans with extensive resumes, there are a handful of possibilities on the market. With polarizing quarterbacks like Daniel Jones potentially on the market as a trade candidate or salary cap casualty, teams could find a solution, taking a chance on a reclamation project given an opportunity to flourish in a new environment. 

Given some time to examine the landscape to see which teams could jump in the quarterback market, here are a few squads to watch heading into the offseason:
