Eight most depressing NFL free agent quarterbacks in 2017

1. EJ Manuel, Buffalo Bills

Manuel has been a major bust since Day 1. The Bills had the 16th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft and went all in with Manuel. In his rookie year he dealt with injuries and started in only 10 games. It was a unimpressive campaign that saw Manuel put up a four wins versus six losses and complete just 58.8 percent of his passes. He also coughed up nine interceptions compared to 11 touchdowns.

It was not shocking that Manuel was relieved of his duties after starting in four games in 2014. Former NFL quarterback Kyle Orton was then called to the rescue.

Fast forward to 2015. Manuel fell short in the quarterback competition and lost out to Tyrod Taylor. Taylor once again started in 2016 while Manuel sat and collected dust. Manuel’s entire career in Buffalo consists of 17 starts with 11 losses.

It would be unlikely the Bills’ new head coach would choose to reinvest in Manuel.  At best, we see Manuel resuming his role as a backup this fall on a different team.
