The NFL’s Quarterback Rooms, Ranked

Key Points:

• The New England Patriots boast a top quarterback room with starter Drake Maye, an MVP finalist on a rookie deal with three years left at $9.2 million APY, and backup Tommy DeVito, a quality, experienced backup earning $2.2 million APY for two years, making their combined cost under $15 million.
• The Los Angeles Rams feature reigning MVP Matthew Stafford at $55 million APY with one year remaining, backed by rookie Ty Simpson on a cost-controlled $6 million APY deal for five years, positioning them well for a transition despite a high cap hit.
• Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen commands a $55 million APY contract through 2031, providing elite performance and durability, but the backup quarterback position with Kyle Allen is less secure due to his lower efficiency and experience.
• Kansas City Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes locked in with a massive $63 million APY contract for eight more years, but their backup situation is risky with Justin Fields, who has shown limited success and is on a discounted salary.
• The Baltimore Ravens benefit from Lamar Jackson’s elite talent on a $52 million APY deal with two years left, alongside a cost-effective and experienced backup Tyler Huntley, offering strong value and depth at quarterback.
