2011 NFL Quarterback Gold Rush: Panic Is Spreading Across the NFL

Seahawks Dolphins

Possible half of these teams could also be looking for a new HC, who would want his own QB to lead his team.

With a major shortage of quality QBs available in the free agent market there will likely be a gold rush like flocking around the few available quality FA QBs, as in Michael Vick. Teams with two starting caliber QBs on the roster will be sitting on a pot of gold in trade value, as in the Eagles.
