NFL Free Agency: 5 QBs still worth pursuing
The 2022 NFL offseason's quarterback carousel is underway. Some of the big chips have fallen as Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger retired.
More recently, Aaron Rodgers announced he will remain with the Green Bay Packers, Russell Wilson has been traded to the Denver Broncos and Carson Wentz has been traded to the Washington Commanders.
It's been an exciting offseason for the quarterback position, especially considering how early it still is. NFL teams have been aggressive in their pursuits of figuring out their situation in the most important position in football.
While some of the biggest names are off the board, there are still plenty of talented quarterbacks available. Here are five that are still worth pursuing.
NFL QBs still worth pursuing during the 2022 free agency period
#5 - Andy Dalton
Andy Dalton is the most experienced quarterback available in free agency. He spent nine years as the starting quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals before spending the last two seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears.
He has been selected to the Pro Bowl three times and helped the Bengals reach the NFL Playoffs four times.
#4 - Marcus Mariota
Marcus Mariota spent the last two seasons as a back-up for Derek Carr with the Las Vegas Raiders after a decent run as a starter for the Tennessee Titans.
Most around the league believe he will get one more chance to be a starter eventually because of his dual threat abilities. Mariota has accumulated 91 total touchdowns in his career and won a playoff game as the starting quarterback for the Titans.
226 yards through the air.
88 more on the ground.
Marcus Mariota had himself a day.

Mariota's ability to run the ball from the quarterback position gives him high relative upside in comparison to most of the free agent quarterbacks available. It's a trait that has become more important for quarterbacks in recent years, so his athleticism could be desirable.
