NFL Quarterbacks Potentially Facing Dismissal by November: Joe Flacco, Russell Wilson, and a $296 Million Star Stand High on the List
NFL Quarterback Landscape Shaping Up for 2025 Season
The National Football League (NFL) is gearing up for an exciting 2025 season, with several intriguing storylines surrounding its star quarterbacks.
In the Indianapolis Colts, Daniel Jones will be the starter, but Anthony Richardson may be readying himself to take over the reins. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are back on prime time TV, ready to dazzle audiences once again.
Justin Fields has signed a two-year, $40m deal with the New York Jets, while Russell Wilson finds himself on a short leash with the New York Giants, as head coach Brian Daboll fights for long-term job security.
Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen have won the NFL MVP award in recent years, and both are expected to continue their dominance in 2025.
Dak Prescott, who finished second in NFL MVP two years ago, is 32-years-old, coming off a major injury, and didn't throw a touchdown in the season-opening loss. Tom Brady will be closely watching Geno Smith in Las Vegas, as the Raiders look to rebound from a disappointing 2024 campaign.
In New Orleans, Spencer Rattler is the starting quarterback, but the Saints are expected to be one of the worst teams in the league this year. This could lead to frequent changes at the position until the 2026 NFL Draft. If Rattler struggles, rookie Tyler Shough could take over, as both are expected to see playing time and there could be switches based on performance.
Jerry Jones was intrigued by backup Joe Milton during training camp, while Trevor Lawrence is under more pressure in Jacksonville, which used a No. 1 overall pick on him in 2021 and has yet to receive a real return on its big investment.
Michael Penix Jr., the Atlanta Falcons' starting quarterback, is playing in front of Kirk Cousins, who received a massive $180m contract from Atlanta in March 2024. The best quarterbacks in the league continue to shine weekly in the NFL, as the league expands internationally.
Head coaches can fire quarterbacks at any time in the NFL, so the 2025 season is sure to bring surprises and drama at the most important position in football. Stay tuned for updates on these exciting storylines as the season unfolds.
