32 NFL Quarterback Questions: Contracts, QB Battles, and Expectations for 2025

Dan Graziano | Jun 11, 2025

Every NFL team has quarterback questions heading into the 2025 season, regardless of how seemingly secure their situation appears. These questions range from on-field performance and offensive line support to contract negotiations and the very identity of the starting quarterback. As training camps approach, let’s examine 32 key questions surrounding 32 teams’ quarterbacks.

Arizona Cardinals: Can the Kyler Murray-Marvin Harrison Jr. connection deliver on its first-round promise in Year 2?

Harrison’s rookie season, while decent (62 catches, 885 yards, 8 TDs), fell short of expectations for the fourth overall pick. He served as the secondary option behind tight end Trey McBride. Year 2 demands a significant leap from both Harrison and Murray, who enters his seventh season. Arizona’s offseason focus on defense suggests a belief in the existing offense, but improvement from Murray and a breakout season from Harrison are crucial for contention.

Atlanta Falcons: Is there any chance of seeing Kirk Cousins back under center, barring a Michael Penix Jr. injury?

Despite Atlanta’s public commitment to Penix as the starter in his second season, Cousins remains on the roster at a hefty $27.5 million salary. His presence, and $10 million guaranteed for 2026, creates a tempting fallback option should Penix struggle early in the season, particularly against a tough early schedule. This underscores the Falcons’ missed opportunity to trade Cousins this offseason.

Baltimore Ravens: When will Lamar Jackson’s next contract extension arrive, and what will it look like?

Jackson has three years remaining on his current deal, but with two MVP awards (and a strong case for a third in 2024), he’s likely seeking a significant raise to surpass quarterbacks like Brock Purdy, Trevor Lawrence, and Tua Tagovailoa. His escalating cap hits ($74.5 million in 2026 and 2027) incentivize the Ravens to negotiate an extension, though Jackson’s previous contract negotiations suggest he’ll aim for a deal comparable to Dak Prescott’s.

Buffalo Bills: Does Josh Allen need to repeat as MVP for the Bills to reach the Super Bowl?

The Bills’ offensive firepower was evident last season (second in league scoring), but their lack of first-round offensive draft picks since Allen in 2018 remains a concern. The receiving corps, while talented, lacks established star power. The onus is on Allen and offensive coordinator Joe Brady to maximize the potential of this group, as they did successfully last season.

Carolina Panthers: Are we buying Bryce Young’s late-season resurgence in 2024?

Young’s rookie season was tumultuous, including a benching for Andy Dalton. However, a strong finish (60.8 QBR, 15 TDs, 6 INTs from Week 8 onward) offers a glimmer of hope. Coach Dave Canales’ track record of quarterback development provides reason for optimism, but Young’s consistency remains to be proven.

Chicago Bears: Is it already «now or never» for Caleb Williams?

While Williams, the No. 1 pick in 2024, has guaranteed years remaining on his contract, the honeymoon period is over. His public reluctance to play for the Bears before the draft has raised expectations significantly. A seemingly strong offense and improved offensive line under new coach Ben Johnson should provide ample support, but early success is crucial for maintaining fan and organizational confidence.

Cincinnati Bengals: Is the Bengals’ defense improved enough to support Joe Burrow if he repeats his 2024 performance?

Burrow’s 2024 season was exceptional (70%+ completion, high QBR, 48 TDs, 9 INTs), but a poor defense (27th in defensive EPA) hindered the team’s playoff chances. New defensive coordinator Al Golden aims to improve the unit, but the ongoing contract dispute with Trey Hendrickson could significantly impact the defense’s performance.

Cleveland Browns: Can any of the Browns’ four quarterbacks emerge as the answer?

The Browns’ minimal investment in their quarterback room (Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon
