From today's Axios Newsletter:
what say you?NFL quarterback is the single most important job in sports, and this offseason could feature an unprecedented reshuffling at the position.
What they're saying: "There are roughly 10 QBs locked into starting jobs for [2021]," tweeted ESPN's Adam Schefter. "My over/under of teams changing QBs this offseason is 18. I'll go with the over."
My take [Kendall Baker] ... I think Schefty went a little overboard; I have 15 QBs locked into starting jobs. Still, that's less than half the league.
