Projecting 2017 starters for every QB-needy team

Want to play some quarterback musical chairs?

I've looked into my crystal ball to come up with some projections on starting quarterbacks for 2017. These aren't projections for the starting jobs that will have mainstays back again. Everyone knows Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson and Drew Brees will be starters, for instance. No, these are projections for the jobs in which I think there will be a new starter, or jobs that could have a new starter.

Here we go, leading off with Buffalo, Chicago and Cleveland:


New starters in 2017

Buffalo Bills

Projected 2017 starter: Mike Glennon

I'm projecting the Bills to move on from Tyrod Taylor because I don't think they see him as an $18 million-a-year franchise quarterback. They could get out of his contract after the season for a small cap hit. Taylor is 14-13 as a starter in his career, and he hasn't gotten an endorsement from the front office or Rex Ryan, who might be out after the season. Taylor's completion percentage has dropped from 63.7 percent to 60.6, and his yards per attempt are down from 8.0 to 6.8.
