The Seattle Seahawks capped a improbable championship run with their 29-13 Super Bowl LX victory over New England, launching an offseason dominated by quarterback uncertainty. With 8-10 teams seeking starters, the market faces scarcity: the 2026 draft lacks depth at QB, while free agency offers mostly veterans like Daniel Jones and Jimmy Garoppolo.

Two future Hall of Famers – Aaron Rodgers (42) and Travis Kelce (36) – headline potential retirements. Rodgers' decision impacts Pittsburgh's plans after they hired his former coach Mike McCarthy. Teams lacking draft capital might pursue trades for established starters like Kyler Murray or Tua Tagovailoa, though Cincinnati insists Joe Burrow rumors are unfounded.

The Raiders hold the draft's top pick, expected to select Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, while Alabama's Ty Simpson projects as the only other Day 1 passer. Key dates include February 17's franchise tag window and March's legal tampering period. Contenders like Minnesota and Las Vegas must navigate limited options to address their QB needs.
