The NFL quarterback carousel is spinning and won't stop anytime soon.
There are a slew of teams with question marks under center. While some of these voids will be filled with prospects selected early in this month's draft, there will still be plenty of veterans starting in 2023 with little job security.
Whether it is fair or not, organizations are always looking for the next Patrick Mahomes or Joe Burrow. If a starter hasn't brought success in recent years, front offices will be eyeing replacements sooner rather than later.
While some projected starters are clearly just keeping the seat warm until a better option comes along—as Baker Mayfield seems to be doing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season—or agreed to a team-friendly contract specifically structured to give the club an out after a year in case it drafts a quarterback (such as Geno Smith's arrangement with the Seattle Seahawks), many are expecting to retain their role for the foreseeable future.
