2015 NFL Free Agency: Star rating is out of five. Age listing as of Sept. 1, 2015.
Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

  1. Jake Locker, QB, Titans. Age: 27.
    Announced retirement

    Jake Locker has potential, but he just can’t stay healthy. He has missed 18 games in the past two seasons with various injuries. Perhaps a strong offensive mind can get the most out of him – he’d be perfect in a Shanahan offense – but I don’t know how anyone can even count on him playing.

  2. Ryan Mallett, QB, Texans. Age: 27.
    Re-signed with Texans (2 years, $7 million)

    Ryan Mallett had one solid start before capsizing in his next game with a chest injury. He was then put on IR. Mallett has great arm strength, but the mental part of his game is a big question mark.



  3. Mark Sanchez, QB, Eagles. Age: 28.
    Re-signed with Eagles (2 years)

    When things are going well for Mark Sanchez, he looks great. However, it can quickly snowball on the inconsistent signal-caller, who is very prone to turnovers. Sanchez is a strong No. 2, but he’s not reliable enough to be a starter.

  4. Matt Moore, QB, Dolphins. Age: 31.
    Re-signed with Dolphins (1 year)

    Though he has barely played in the past couple of seasons, Matt Moore remains one of the top backup quarterbacks in the NFL.

  5. Brian Hoyer, QB, Browns. Age: 29.
    Signed with Texans

    Brian Hoyer began the year well, but things quickly fell apart for him when Alex Mack was lost for the season. Hoyer proved that he can be a very strong backup in this league, but he needs everything to be right for things to go well for him.

  6. Shaun Hill, QB, Rams. Age: 35.
    Signed with Vikings (2 years, $6.5 million)

    Shaun Hill is one of the better backup quarterbacks in the NFL, but he had to start this past season because of Sam Bradford’s injury.

  7. Josh McCown, QB, Buccaneers. Age: 36.
    Signed with Browns (3 years)

    Josh McCown has proven that he can be a reliable backup quarterback, and he can even start for a stretch if he has quality offensive coaching aiding him. He can’t do it all himself though, as we saw last year when he struggled with the Buccaneers. Still though, McCown is a solid reserve who should find work.




  8. Tim Tebow, QB, Eagles. Age: 28.
  9. Jimmy Clausen, QB, Bears. Age: 27. — Re-signed with Bears
  10. Christian Ponder, QB, Vikings. Age: 27.
  11. Austin Davis (RFA), QB, Rams. Age: 26. — Tendered by Rams
  12. Tarvaris Jackson, QB, Seahawks. Age: 32. — Re-signed with Seahawks
  13. Luke McCown, QB, Saints. Age: 34. — Re-signed with Saints (1 year, $700,000)
  14. Matt Schaub, QB, Raiders. Age: 34. — Signed with Ravens (1 year)
  15. T.J. Yates, QB, Falcons. Age: 28. — Re-signed with Falcons (1 year)
  16. Colt McCoy, QB, Redskins. Age: 28. — Re-signed with Redskins (1 year)

  22. Rex Grossman, QB, Redskins. Age: 35.
  23. Jason Campbell, QB, Bengals. Age: 33.
  24. Matt Hasselbeck, QB, Colts. Age: 39. — Re-signed with Colts (1 year, $3 million)
  25. Dan Orlovsky, QB, Lions. Age: 32. — Re-signed with Lions (1 year)
  26. Blaine Gabbert, QB, 49ers. Age: 25. — Re-signed with 49ers
  27. Jordan Palmer, QB, Titans. Age: 31.
  28. Kellen Moore (RFA), QB, Lions. Age: 26. — Re-signed with Lions (2 years)
