Drafted: Round 3 (65th overall)
The Competition: Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew II
This is realistically another rebuild year for a team that went 3-14 last season and is winging it with two low-ceiling veteran quarterbacks in 2026.
That likely means they eventually give Beck a shot so that they have a better feel for what they have before determining how to approach free agency and the draft at the quarterback position, but you’d have to imagine they’d wait for Brissett and/or Minshew to pretty much sink the ship first.
It’s possible that happens in October or November, but between Week 5 and Week 13 they have the Lions, Rams, Broncos, Cowboys, Seahawks, Rams, Chiefs, Commanders and Eagles.
My money’s on them giving Beck his first start in a low-pressure home environment following their Week 14 bye.
Predicted First Start: Week 15 vs. New York Jets
