No matter how many answers the NFL offseason provides, questions always remain. Especially about quarterbacks.
Sure, your team might be all set at QB, but there might be questions around your quarterback or about his long-term situation. You might think your team is set at quarterback but have some reason still to be unsure. You might have no idea what your team is doing at quarterback this season, next season or five years from now.
That's why we do this annual June exercise -- examining the quarterback-specific questions that still confront each team with three months left before the start of the NFL season. Some might feel more urgent and dire than others, but every team has at least some issue to resolve. So, without further ado, 32 questions about 32 quarterbacks.

Arizona Cardinals
Who even is the quarterback?
This one is as basic as QB questions get. The Cardinals don't know for sure who'll be starting for them in Week 1, Week 10 or Week 18. And they definitely don't know who'll be starting for them in 2027 and beyond. Kyler Murray was released. Jacoby Brissett, who finished last season as the starter, reported to mandatory minicamp after holding out of the team's offseason program since he wasn't happy about his contract. Veteran Gardner Minshew II signed as a free agent. Arizona drafted Carson Beck in the third round, and Kedon Slovis is still kicking around.
It's hard to blame Brissett for wanting a raise. He's slated to make $4.88 million this year. Only $1.5 million of that is guaranteed, and the most he can make if he hits all of his incentives is $7.39 million. Broncos backup Jarrett Stidham makes more. Minshew has more guaranteed money in 2026. If Brissett's going to be the starter, he deserves at least low-level starter money. But the Cardinals have a new coach in Mike LaFleur, who wasn't there when Brissett stepped in for an injured Murray and put up 3,366 passing yards and 23 touchdowns.
At some point this season, Arizona likely wants to find out what it has in Beck before figuring out its 2027 draft plan. Any one -- or all -- of these guys could start games for the Cardinals in 2026, and the end result might be even more questions after the season.
