2024 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks
In fantasy football, there is no offseason. Before the NFL finalizes its year, fantasy football fans are preparing for the next draft season. That is especially true in dynasty football. Part of good preparation is knowing about the upcoming crop of NFL free agents.
The draft can shake rosters up dramatically. However, free agency begins in March and is the first major event of the “new” season. Therefore, it is important to take note of which veterans are signing and how that could impact the upcoming NFL draft.
To kick off FullTime Fantasy‘s free agent analysis, let’s open with the most important position. This is our 2024 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks.
| PLAYER | POS | TEAM | AGE |
| Kirk Cousins | QB | MIN | 36 |
| Baker Mayfield | QB | TB | 29 |
| Joe Flacco | QB | CLE | 38 |
| Gardner Minshew | QB | IND | 28 |
| Ryan Tannehill | QB | TEN | 36 |
| Jameis Winston | QB | NO | 30 |
| Jacoby Brissett | QB | WAS | 31 |
| Sam Darnold | QB | SF | 27 |
| Tyrod Taylor | QB | NYG | 35 |
| Joshua Dobbs | QB | MIN | 29 |
| Carson Wentz | QB | LAR | 31 |
| Marcus Mariota | QB | PHI | 31 |
| Sam Darnold | QB | SF | 27 |
| Drew Lock | QB | SEA | 28 |
| Mason Rudolph | QB | PIT | 29 |
| Trevor Siemian | QB | NYJ | 32 |
| Tyler Huntley | QB | BAL | 27 |
| Matt Barkley | QB | JAC | 33 |
| Kyle Allen | QB | BUF | 28 |
| Brett Rypien | QB | LAR | 28 |
| Blaine Gabbert | QB | KC | 34 |
| P.J. Walker | QB | CLE | 28 |
| Nathan Peterman | QB | CHI | 29 |
| Will Grier | QB | LAC | 28 |
| Jeff Driskel | QB | CLE | 30 |
| A.J. McCarron | QB | CIN | 33 |

| Brandon Allen | QB | SF | 31 |
| Logan Woodside | QB | ATL | 29 |
| Josh Johnson | QB | TB | 37 |
Easily the top signal-caller available this year is Kirk Cousins. Cousins averaged 4,187 passing yards and 30.6 touchdown passes per season in his first five years with the Vikings. He was having his finest season to date in 2023 before a knee injury ended it after eight games. Cousins is still in his prime and could command something like a 3-year, $120 million deal this spring. This best-case scenario for fantasy would be re-signing with the Vikings.
Baker Mayfield signed a modest 1-year $4 million deal with Tampa and delivered his finest NFL campaign. Mayfield threw for a career-high 28 touchdowns and led the Buccaneers to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. He exceeded all expectations and will command 6-7 times that 2023 salary on the open market.
The Browns will have an interesting decision with re-signing Joe Flacco. Unfortunately for Cleveland, Deshaun Watson’s exuberant contract is fully guaranteed. Undoubtedly the Browns would like to have Flacco return, but he’ll earn a lot more than the $2.5 million he earned guiding the Browns into Wild Card weekend.
Overall, Cousins and Mayfield are the only notable veterans who are fantasy-relevant. The 2024 free agents: quarterbacks class is very weak.
