That's probably the deepest a QB FA class has ever been. That's 7 legit starting QBs, a handful of quality backups, and then Taylor was available in trade.

Garoppolo signed a week after the Super Bowl.
Taylor was made available is trade, as was Garoppolo.

And McCarron is in the backup tier.

So, the Saints, Jets, Vikings, Browns, Cardinals, Broncos, Bills, and 49ers all needed quarterbacks.
And, every single one of them besides the Bills have signed (or re-signed) a quarterback.
So 7 teams picked 7 different quarterbacks than McCarron.
And Jets are looking into signing Bridgewater as well.
And by all accords the Bills are all in on drafting a quarterback, so that's their focus for the future.

And maybe that's a good reason why teams aren't going to sign a quarterback with a small sample size who wasn't all that amazing.
