Quarterbacks

  1. Sam Bradford
  2. Case Keenum
  3. Taylor Heinicke

There are no real surprises when t comes to the quarterbacks. With Teddy Bridgewater on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list, it opened things up for a competition for the backup spot between Keenum and Heinicke.

Since Keenum is the veteran, he likely has the nod for now. However, it should still be up for debate as to which of the depth players would be released if Bridgewater is released from the Active/PUP list his season.

Sam Bradford is this team’s starter for 2017. After setting an NFL record for completion percentage for a season, he has the ability to improve upon that mark thanks to better familiarity with his receivers and an improved offensive line.
