have been reading alot of sites, and the expectations of where Qbs will go.....

Arizona - Looks like Kolb is the lead option there. Per Sheffter at ESPN and others, they will run hard at Kolb. Fall back may be Orton of Denver, where they have just started doing some feel out if he is available.

Seattle - They will be in the Kolb hunt supposedly. A Hasselbeck re-sign is still possible as well. Although, rumors are floating they may be willing to live with Whitehurst this year, and draft the Qb of the future next year when the draft is deeper. Consistant rumors of Palmer here as well, but I just don't see Brown changing his stripes and dealing Palmer.

Miami - totally lost here. They hate Henne, they love Henne, they hate Henne. I hear they want Palmer very, very badly. Again, not sure he will be dealt. My gut says they look for a vet, but not sure anyone available fits their needs. I think this time they may stay pat.

Minnesota - Yes, they drafted Ponder. Yes Leslie says he is wanting Ponder to start. Now, can we get back to reality? I think this is the best spot for a short term Vet. Hasselbeck or McNabb would be a great fit here, for a transitional Qb. Rumors are flying that McNabb is set to be in Minny as soon as he is released by Washington.

Speaking of which - Washington - Well, you have to assume McNabb is gone. That leaves sexy rexy :xpuke: . Of the Qbs available, a deal with Denver for Orton seems to make sense. Hass is a possibility. No way Eagles deal Kolb to Washington, as they gave them McNabb since they knew he sucked and they know Kolb doesn't. I wonder if they make a deal with NE for Mallett? Or take a try at a Qb like Young? This one is a total baffle to me.

Cincinnati - well they drafted Dalton, and the chance for him to start is there. I do think Palmer will be retired, as I don't see the Bengals dealing him. So going out for a solid back up type vet or temp starter is there. Just don't see them spending big bucks with money tied up in Dalton and Palmer. Only time will tell.

Buffalo - :dunno: This is another stumper to me. They like Fitz, I get that. But they know he isn't long term solution. Do they wait til next year? They could have a shot at Luck there. Or do they try to get a Young to possibly rebuild with like Eagles and Vick?

Any others of note?

Qb moves expected -
Washington cuts McNabb - goes to Minny
Tennessee will cut Young
Denver will deal Orton - live with Tebow as starter, Quinn as backup
Flynn of G.B. will not be dealt.
 
Talk of McNabb to Minny has cooled off some of late, but talk of him going to Cincy for a year or two is starting to pick up.
 
People will look at Brian Hoyer, Brady's current backup.

Still hearing Bulger and Arizona have "an understanding" on their job.

Kolb to me is a tossup
 
The Washington Redskins are believed to be interested in Tennessee Titans QB Vince Young and may be the frontrunner to add him this offseason. Analysis: Mike Shanahan likes his quarterbacks mobile, which is one of Young's strong points. We'll see if that's enough to earn Young a shot battling Rex Grossman and John Beck.

Someone, I think PFT, pointed out that Shannie and Fisher are good friends and it's unlikely Fisher will give his friend a thumbs up on that idea.

Redskins | Frontrunners to get Vince Young? Fri May 6, 04:30 PM Omar Kelly, from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, says that he's heard the Washington Redskins could be the frontrunners to land QB Vince Young.
Our view: John Beck is not going to be the Redskins starter this year. The team failed to address the QB position in the NFL Draft, so we expect them to explore trades and free agency when allowed. Young is trying to resurrect his career and Mike Shanahan could give him a chance to do just that. Shanahan is very close friends with former Titans head coach Jeff Fisher and likely knows everything there is to know about the inner working of Young.

Latest I heard is he is their back up if they think the price for Kolb is too high.
 
Titans | Considering re-signing Kerry Collins Fri May 6, 04:21 PM

Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt said the team is considering re-signing QB Kerry Collins but are also looking at other possibilities that could be available once free agency begins.


fbg view: This makes a lot of sense because of Collins familiarity with the team. His price may not be too high, and he would provide veteran insurance behind Jake Locker.
