Sam Darnold has agreed to terms with the Seahawks, per source.

The top free agent quarterback available, Darnold gets the three-year deal he sought and heads to Seattle after a career year in Minnesota.

[Ed Vette]

That leaves Rodgers to Vikings or Steelers.

Geno Smith turned down a similar deal in Seattle. The #Seahawks ended up trading him to Las Vegas, picked up a third-round draft pick and now land the top QB in free agency. A new No. 14 in Seattle.

Seahawks did well there.

That's a really nice deal for a Vet QB who's only had one good season in his career.

That leaves Rodgers to Vikings or Steelers.

Or Jones to Vikings

Yep- the carousel will screech to a halt and whoever is left on will fall off, break their ankle, and sign with our G-men.  All while the Titans work to build their OL in free agency to prepare for the coming of Cam Ward.  I hate to be fatalistic, but this is about as bad as the QB outlook could be for us next year.

Fields is a JET...the dominoes keep falling!

Next year was always going to be a development year. Nothing changes for the Giants at all based on these vet signings. They weren't going to be a competitive team with Rodgers, juts like they won't be a competitive team with Mariota or Winston.

They need to draft BPA every round and hope for another home run draft - including a QB in round 4 to develop. And then they can go after a 1st round QB the following year in a much deeper QB class.

Why is everyone discounting Jones as their possible starter?

With Fields now gone and Jimmy Garoppolo staying in LA, our vet QB options are dwindling.

[EDjohnst1981]

Keeping in mind that the Jets haven't released Rodgers yet. Can teams actually announce the intention to sign him?

They designated him post June 1st release.
