Musical chairs: Trying to predict the veteran quarterback market

The end of Super Bowl Week often delivers some overwrought storylines.

This week is no exception.

Having spent the past few days scrutinizing the game between the Tampa bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs the collective attention span begins to wane, and the conversation turns elsewhere. A major driving force right now behind football coverage? Predicting where some of the well-known quarterbacks are going to land next season.
