While some websites and pundits debate the merits of trading Justin Fields, oddsmakers say he could be in a very good place next year at this time.

- Brock Purdy, Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson (all 25-1)
- Derek Carr, Trey Lance (both 33-1); Daniel Jones, Geno Smith, Jared Goff and Kenny Pickett (all 40-1)
