Where an NFL player lands in free agency or the draft can have a huge impact on the arc of a player's career. Mitchell Trubisky, Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes were all drafted in 2017. Of the three quarterbacks, Mahomes landed in the most stable situation. He has won a Super Bowl, been named league MVP, and was rewarded with e 10-year, $450 million contract extension.
Trubisky's future is completely up in the air after the Chicago Bears declined his fifth-year option. While Watson signed a four-year, $156 million extension of his own, his future with the Houston Texans is now murky at best.
