New backup QB

1. Andy Dalton: 7-8 since he left - 3685 yards - 22 TDs - 17 INTs - 83.0 rating

With it being such a weak year in free agency and the draft, Andy may decide to keep pursuing a starting gig. If he's ready to hold a clipboard, he's probably the top backup option in the league. If Burrow missed any playoff games, it'd be interesting to see what Andy could do with these weapons and Zac Taylor.

2. Jacoby Brissett: 14-23 record - 36 TDs to only 17 INTs - 83.0 rating

Another guy who is on the border between starter and top backup. Only 29 years old and would be nice to have around for several years.

3. Joe Flacco: 2-11 since he left Baltimore - 3024 yards, 15 TDs - 8 INTs - 86.4 rating

His name will make people scoff, but he's performed decently for some bad teams. He's no longer a starter, but he's a top shelf backup for sure.

4. Teddy Bridgewater: 16-19 since he left Minnesota - 43 TDs to 21 INTs - 93.9 rating

He'll probably be a bridge QB for somebody again, but if you can land him as a backup, you're in great shape.

5. Tyrod Taylor: 4-5-1 since leaving Buffalo - 1680 yards - 8 TDs - 7 INTs - 74.0 rating

Dual threat QB who is just good enough to win you some games.

6. Marcus Mariota: 2-4 over last 3 years - 1433 yards - 8 TDs - 3 INTs - 90.5 rating

Hasn't played much since losing the gig in Tennessee, but he's still regarded as a very good backup option with some running capability.

7. Blaine Gabbert: 8-13 since leaving Jacksonville - 4916 yards - 28 TDs - 23 INTs - 78.6 rating

He's surprisingly carved out a pretty long career as a solid backup.

Add Trevor Siemian to the list if you're going to include guys like Tyrod Taylor, Blaine Gabbert, and Dalton.

Siemian - 4 starts in New Orleans this past year. 1154 yards - 11 TDs - 3 INTs - 88.4 rating
