Eight most depressing NFL free agent quarterbacks in 2017

7. Matt Schaub, Atlanta Falcons

Schaub was chosen by the Falcons in the third round of the 2004 NFL Draft and spent three seasons as a backup. Coincidentally, 2016 brought Schaub back to Atlanta for a one-year deal.

In between, Schaub spent the majority of his years playing for the Houston Texans from 2007-2013. There, he achieved a 46-42 record.

Eventually, the Texans departed with Schaub and he spent the 2014 season with Oakland. This is where he attempted a total of 10 passes for two interceptions and quickly found the bench. A one-year gig as Joe Flacco’s backup in Baltimore followed in 2015.

Currently, there are reports that suggest Schaub could wind up in San Francisco, following former Falcons offensive coordinator and new 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan across the country. Either way, it would be difficult to envision the 35 year-old quarterback as anything more than roster depth and a helping hand getting the rest of the quarterbacks up to speed in Shanahan’s offense.
