Outside of the obvious top three QBs, from QB4-12 everything could be seen as incredibly fluid. There are QBs with different flavors and playing styles that make watching the QB spot fun throughout the NFL season. The top three QBs are pretty well known at this point: Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 QB Patrick Mahomes, Baltimore Ravens\u2019 QB Lamar Jackson and Buffalo Bills\u2019 QB Josh Allen are the top three QBs in the NFL and all oscillate between the top three spots during the season. But how do the others shake out below them? Let\u2019s find out. [BLG Note: In addition to ranking the top 10, SB Nation included three honorable mentions &#8230; and the reigning Super Bowl MVP somehow did not make the cut. <\/p>\n<p id=\"OUJ8j4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedinggreennation.com\/2025\/7\/9\/24446671\/commanders-cowboys-contract-issues-training-camp-approaches-terry-mclaurin-micah-parsons-nfl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Eagles\u2019 NFC East rivals still have huge lingering contract issues as training camp approaches &#8211; BGN<\/a><br \/>Offseason contract negotiations aren\u2019t always smooth, not even if you have Howie Roseman as your general manager, but two NFC East teams \u2014 not named the Philadelphia Eagles \u2014 are facing huge hurdles as they try to re-sign their biggest stars.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4zHPkU\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/45690070\/nfl-offseason-grades-2025-free-agency-draft-trades-extensions-coaching-changes#PHI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2025 NFL offseason grades: Draft, trades, more moves by team &#8211; ESPN<\/a><br \/>Philadelphia Eagles: B+. The Eagles made several trades. I was not a fan of flipping Gardner-Johnson and a sixth-round pick to the Texans for Green and a 2026 fifth-round pick. On the other hand, they did very well to get a fifth-round pick and backup quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson from the Browns in exchange for fellow QB Kenny Pickett. And I thought the deal sending Bryce Huff to the 49ers was a win-win considering Huff clearly didn\u2019t fit in Philadelphia. The Eagles made a few low-key, solid free agent additions in edge rushers Joshua Uche (whose 19% pressure rate in 2022 was the highest in a season since ESPN began tracking the stat in 2017) and Azeez Ojulari, and cornerback Adoree\u2019 Jackson.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HVl1RX\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/eagles-ot-lane-johnson-ahead-of-year-13-i-feel-young-in-heart-but-can-t-ignore-father-time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eagles OT Lane Johnson ahead of Year 13: I feel \u2018young in heart, but can\u2019t ignore Father Time\u2019 &#8211; NFL.com<\/a><br \/>Lane Johnson knows he\u2019s on the back nine of his career, but after signing a one-year extension that keeps him with the Eagles through 2027, he\u2019s not considering walking away just yet.

Johnson doesn\u2019t take such an honor lightly, but also knows he isn\u2019t an ageless marvel. \u201cYeah, if there\u2019s anybody to end a tie with it would be BG (Brandon Graham). It\u2019s crazy that we had a number of guys who all stayed together for all these years,\u201d Johnson said during an appearance on Good Morning Football Wednesday. \u201cYeah, it doesn\u2019t feel like No. 13 but here it is.

He was the Eagles\u2019 starting MIKE linebacker and finally fulfilled his potential as a third-round steal from the 2022 draft.

This is a significant injury and while Dean has been working hard to rehab, there\u2019s a very good chance he isn\u2019t ready for training camp or the start of the season. He could start on the PUP list and miss at least four games.

Hopefully this is something that has been taken care of and not a thing that could linger on and cost the all pro left tackle more time.

Even though he may not have been fully ready for the responsibility, the Giants committed to Johnson\u2019s development by starting him from Day 1 last season. Johnson began to reward the Giants\u2019 faith over his final five games of 2024, catching at least three passes in each and totaling 18 receptions in that time. Unfortunately for Johnson and the Giants, his season was cut short due to a Lisfranc injury that cost Johnson the final five games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"40e8av\">&#8230;<\/p>\n<p id=\"1ct0dY\"><strong>Social Media Information:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"SUm9fC\">BGN Facebook Page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Bleeding-Green-Nation\/57835308051\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here to like our page<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"eOrQ2B\">BGN Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleedingGreen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Follow @BleedingGreen<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"Zn8wbe\">BGN Bluesky: <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/bleedgreennation.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Follow @bleedgreennation.bsky.social<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"mJ3fW9\">BGN Instagram: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bleedinggreeninsta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Follow @BleedingGreenInsta<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"W7V3qs\">BGN Manager: Brandon Lee Gowton: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrandonGowton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Follow @BrandonGowton<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"lC0Iyt\">BGN Radio Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BGN_Radio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Follow @BGN_Radio<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let\u2019s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links &#8230; NFL top-10 QBs rankings ahead of 2025 season &#8211; SB&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":54748,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[20545,20546,34581,9150,204,7007,2606,40485,1412,7226,1245,50,1232,11346,12437,196,3440,40484,62,469,448,1399,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-54747","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-bleeding","9":"tag-category-daily-links","10":"tag-don","11":"tag-eagles","12":"tag-front-page","13":"tag-green","14":"tag-have","15":"tag-hurts","16":"tag-in","17":"tag-jalen","18":"tag-nation","19":"tag-news","20":"tag-nfl","21":"tag-quarterback","22":"tag-rankings","23":"tag-s","24":"tag-sb","25":"tag-somehow","26":"tag-sports","27":"tag-t","28":"tag-the","29":"tag-top","30":"tag-united-states","31":"tag-unitedstates","32":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114830294591247130","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
