Every depth chart calls take
5101–5125 of 5,141
Jacoby Brissett to be 2nd on the depth chart
Expect him to be a backup again in 2024, but to be in a situation where he might have a better chance of getting on the field again.
Sam Darnold to be 2nd on the depth chart
it's more likely he returns to San Francisco to be the backup again
Jameis Winston to be 2nd on the depth chart
The most likely outcome is Winston will remain the backup quarterback in New Orleans on a new deal
Tyrod Taylor to be 2nd on the depth chart
Look for teams with young quarterbacks on rookie deals to bring in Taylor as a backup.
Tyler Huntley to be 2nd on the depth chart
But don't expect Huntley to get anything more than a backup job in free agency.
Tee Higgins to be 2nd on the depth chart
He is one of the best No. 2 receivers in football.
DeVonta Smith to be 2nd on the depth chart
DeVonta Smith is the second-best receiver on his team but could be a No. 1 option elsewhere.
Cam Jurgens to be 1st on the depth chart
presumptive starter Cam Jurgens has only ever played center before, so that is something to watch
Bryce Young to be 1st on the depth chart
as it protects rookie starting quarterback Bryce Young
Donovan Smith to be 1st on the depth chart
The real question will be how much of a drop-off they see at left tackle from Orlando Brown Jr. to Donovan Smith.
Jamaree Salyer to be 1st on the depth chart
Getting Rashawn Slater back at left tackle allows them to move Jamaree Salyer inside.
John Michael Schmitz to be 1st on the depth chart
Rookie John Michael Schmitz should be an upgrade at center
Jawaan Taylor to be 1st on the depth chart
right tackle Jawaan Taylor should be an upgrade over Andrew Wylie
Jonah Williams to be 1st on the depth chart
the question is how well will former left tackle Jonah Williams fare on the right side?
Sam Cosmi to be 1st on the depth chart
I'm skeptical of Sam Cosmi's move to right guard
Broderick Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
the addition of Seumalo and rookie left tackle Broderick Jones
Shaq Mason to be 1st on the depth chart
they should get solid play out of Shaq Mason at right guard
Darnell Wright to be 1st on the depth chart
The additions of free agent Nate Davis and rookie right tackle Darnell Wright on the right side
Colton McKivitz to be 1st on the depth chart
We will see how much of a downgrade it is going from McGlinchey to Colton McKivitz opposite the incredible Trent Williams.
Halapoulivaati Vaitai to be 1st on the depth chart
Getting Halapoulivaati Vaitai back at right guard between studs Frank Ragnow and Penei Sewell should help this unit be even better.
Evan Neal to be 1st on the depth chart
the expectation is Evan Neal will make an Andrew Thomas–like improvement at right tackle
Juice Scruggs to be 1st on the depth chart
rookie second-round center Juice Scruggs will be counted next to last year's first-rounder, Kenyon Green
Matthew Bergeron to be 1st on the depth chart
Now, they add another bruiser in rookie left guard Matthew Bergeron to the mix.
Riley Reiff to be 1st on the depth chart
The hope this year is that the Patriots can get good enough play out of Riley Reiff at right tackle
Austin Ekeler to be 1st on the depth chart
the team added no viable candidates on the depth chart to warrant significant touches or threaten Ekeler's workhorse status.
