It’s been a minute since we’ve run the gamut on each team’s QB situation, so we’ll take a quick dive into the guaranteed salary breakdown for every player currently under contract, by team.
A few notes for reference:
Total Remaining: The total contract remaining
Right Now: Is already fully guaranteed
Soon: A guarantee will trigger in the coming weeks
Future Early: Salary or bonus in the next few seasons will lock in early

Future Early: $59.35M through 2027
Clayton Tune
Total Remaining: 3 years, $3M ($0 guaranteed)
ATLANTA
There's a very real chance that Atlanta boasts an entirely different QB room by the end of the summer. Heinicke's looming roster bonus probably sends him back to the open market in a few weeks.

Future Early: None
Shane Buechele

Dorian Thompson-Robinson
Total Remaining: 3 year, $3M ($0 guaranteed)
DALLAS
Something needs to be done to Dak Prescott's $59.4M cap hit. Will it be a mind-boggling extension? Also, Trey Lance is one of the most expensive backups in football right now.

Right Now: None.
Soon: $5M roster bonus due March 18th
Trey Lance
Total Remaining: 1 year, $5.3M + option

Right Now: None
Soon: $5M roster bonus due March 14th
Hendon Hooker
Total Remaining: 3 years, $3.8M ($0 guaranteed)

Alex McGough
Total Remaining: 1 year, $915k ($0 guaranteed)

Soon: $25.664M option by May 2nd
C.J. Beathard
Total Remaining: 1 years, $1.92M ($0 guaranteed)

Right Now: None.

Right Now: $116.6M through 2025
Soon: None

Max Duggan
Total Remaining: 1 year, $795k ($0 guaranteed)

Stafford posted a fantastic 2023, making his fully guaranteed 2024 and soon to be partially guaranteed 2025 much easier to swallow.
Matthew Stafford
Total Remaining: 3 years, $94M
Practical Remaining: 2 years, $63M

Mike White
Total Remaining: 1 year, $3.5M ($0 guaranteed)
Skylar Thompson
Total Remaining: 2 years, $2M ($0 guaranteed)
MINNESOTA
Kirk Cousins needs to be re-signed by March 13th to stop his full $28.5M of voidable dead cap from hitting their books in 2024. Also, they could use a starting QB.
Jaren Hall
Total Remaining: 3 years, $3M ($0 guaranteed)
NEW ENGLAND
It stands to reason that some team will throw a late draft pick out there for Mac Jones at $2.7M this year. His $25.6M option for 2025?

Right Now: $2.7M
Soon: $25.6M option decision due May 2nd

Soon: $10M 2025 roster bonus guarantees March 15th
Jake Haener
Total Remaining: 3 years, $3M ($0 guaranteed)
NY GIANTS
Daniel Jones is fully guaranteed through 2024, but maybe more importantly - $23M of his 2025 salary is guaranteed for injury. Playing him this year could be risky business.
Daniel Jones
Total Remaining: 3 years, $114M
Practical Remaining: 1 year, $36M
Right Now: $35.5M through 2024
Tommy DeVito
Total Remaining: 1 year, $915k ($0 guaranteed)

Right Now: $38.1M through 2024
Zach Wilson
Total Remaining: 1 year, $5.4M + option
Right Now: $5.4M
Soon: $22.408M option decision due May 2nd
PHILADELPHIA
Jalen Hurts' contract is rock solid through 2027, so the Eagles have time to right this ship, but their contractual structures make it very hard to change a lot of things in a little amount of time.
Jalen Hurts
Total Remaining: 5 years, $235M
Practical Remaining: 4 years, $184M
Right Now: $85.696M through 2026
Soon: $16.5M of 2026 salary locks March 18th
Future Early: $22M of 2027 salary in 2026

Total Remaining: 3 years, $3M ($0 guaranteed)
PITTSBURGH

Kenny Pickett
Total Remaining: 2 years, $4.5M + option
Right Now: $4.5M through 2025
Soon: 2026 option decision due May 2025

Purdy’s contract is untouchable, so the focus here turns to who gets the backup gig again.
Brock Purdy
Total Remaining: 2 years, $2M ($0 guaranteed)
SEATTLE
Geno’s 2024 base salary was fully guaranteed a few days after the Super Bowl, and Seatle recently converted his looming roster bonus into signing bonus for cap purposes. It’s Smith’s team again in 2024.
Geno Smith
Total Remaining: 2 years, $53.2M
Practical Remaining: 1 year, $22.5M
Right Now: $22.3M through 2024
TAMPA BAY
Tampa Bay won the NFC South + Wild Card round game. Seems like an add or two should probably be made here.
Kyle Trask
Total Remaining: 1 year, $1.4M ($0 guaranteed)
TENNESSEE
If Levis can figure it out, there’s still plenty of time for value here. Tennessee remains a dark horse to sign a veteran QB however.
Will Levis
Total Remaining: 3 years, $4.84M
Right Now: $4.03M through 2026
Malik Willis
Total Remaining: 2 years, $2.57M ($0 guaranteed)
WASHINGTON
