    Possible. First he has to make it through the season uninjured and make it to the playoffs. We have the talent to be a playoff team.

    Brett Favre, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees?

    Peyton mannning didn't even sniff free agency until he missed the entire year due to disc fusion surgery after his 13th year in the league. Brett Favre was traded to the Packers for a bag of chips and didn't start until his 4th year in the NFL. Drew Brees walked because his own team drafted and traded for his replacement(Phillip Rivers).

    How do those guys fit the criteria I listed? I asked about any good/franchise QBs drafted by their current/only team to reach free agency once their rookie deal ends?

    I feel like i'm taking crazy pills.

    Also, you are all missing a key point. With those three there were replacements which, in two of those situations, were much younger.

    Which is why those teams let those guys go.

    Bottom line, teams do not let franchise QBs go without having a viable, or preferable, alternative.

    Just as long as he does not get hurt and how he can lead the Titans to the playoffs. Think he will have a deal in place.

    I personally think Mariota wants to be here, especially now since they see we're surrounding him with pieces.

    If I recall correctly, the fins signed culpepper first, and then the saints signed Brees. But yes, he was a FA.
