Here is quick look at the potential free agent (and others who are rumored to be on the move) QBs, a predicted landing spot and the fantasy football implications.
1-Peyton Manning-Looking for a shocking prediction on where Manning lands in free agency? You're not going to get it from me. My best prediction is that Manning is back with the Colts. The bigger fantasy football questions here are will Peyton take less money to make the Colts more competitive, how do the Colts spend that money and do those potential other signings translate into fantasy production? Oh, and let's hope that Peyton doesn't hurt his back carrying all that money to the bank!
2-Michael Vick-The Eagles put the franchise tag on Vick and appear ready to sign him to a contract when the lockout is settled. Expect Vick to be an Eagle for the next several years. He seems to have matured as a player and is a dual threat to pass or run on every snap. He can be an injury risk and his ability to take a game over can sometimes lead to his teamates' fantasy production suffering.
3-Kevin Kolb-while he is not a free agent Kolb has attracted a lot of potential trade attention and would likely have been a draft day trade were it not for the lockout. While Kolb was linked to the Cardinals early, the Seahawks now appear to be a likely landing spot. If Pete Carroll elects to let Matt Hasselbeck go elsewhere it is hard to imagine him handing the reigns over to Charlie Whitehurst. Unless another team steps up with a significant offer look for Kolb to be relocating to the Pacific Northwest this fall. Until Kolb puts it together on the field for a full season it is hard to consider him much more than a solid fantasy backup with upside.
4-Matt Hasselbeck-I can't see Pete Carroll resigning Hasselbeck considering the overhaul he started making in the Seahawks roster last season. Tennessee has been successful in the past with Kerry Collins by employing a veteran to hold the reigns for a couple of years while a young QB is groomed, so Hasslebeck could land with the Titans. It has been years since Hasslebeck has been relevant to the fantasy game, but his veteran leadership and ability to keep teams honest could help Chris Johnson until Jake Locker is ready to take over.
