1. Jason Campbell, Cincinnati, 33
Campbell has become the ultimate backup quarterback. He’s big, smart and reliable. He’s consistent which is what teams are looking most in a backup. Last year he backed up Andy Dalton in Cincinnati but the Bengals may have ideas for AJ McCarron to be Dalton’s primary backup next season. That could have Campbell on the move once again. Surely he finds another job.
2. Mike Vick, NY Jets, 35
Vick may have seen more ups and downs in his career than any quarterback in the history of the NFL. He's been arrested, suspended and benched. He's been in MVP races, won playoff games and broken records. But at 35 years old, Vick can pretty much end his dreams as a starter in this league. He does, however, provide support and playmaking ability in a backup role if he chooses to do so.

3. Tarvaris Jackson, Seattle, 32
T-Jax seems to like being a backup. Get paid, do nothing, repeat. If he's not backing up Russell Wilson next year, look for him to find another young stud to support.

4. Matt Flynn, Green Bay, 30
Flynn's career as a starter is all over. He can be a capable backup QB for spot duty. He's a west coast fit so any team looking to sign him will run a system similar.

5. Ryan Lindley, Arizona, 26
Lindley filled in for the slew of injured quarterbacks in Arizona last season. His play was, at times, atrocious. However, he was handicapped from the start. A third string quarterback isn't supposed to be in that situation. He gained valuable experience and he could still be a viable backup option down the road.
6. Austin Davis, St. Louis, 26

6. Austin Davis, St. Louis, 26
Davis was a decent
quarterback for a guy who wasn’t supposed to start a majority of games. St.
Louis won with him at quarterback. While he likely wasn’t a reason for the
limited success the Rams had, he at least showed teams that he could steer the
ship if pressed into duty. That’s enough to get teams to call the 26-year old.
