Alright, so hear me out: I know this is crazy. But just for funsies...

1. CJ Stroud starts for the Houston Texans

This is easily the most obvious one. He had a bit of a sophomore slump due to injuries at wide receiver and struggles at O-line, but provided he doesn't take a Mac Jones-level nosedive, he should be in Houston for a long time.

2. Justin Fields signs with the Pittsburgh Steelers

This is the middle option between the three. The Steelers are currently in no-man's-land at QB, being forced to pick between a washed Russell Wilson and what most perceive as a first-round bust in Justin Fields. The 2025 QB class is not regarded as very good and they don't have a high pick, so most think they won't draft someone to start (perhaps a developmental pick like Jalen Milroe).

That being said, people are starting to think they will go with Fields if he ends up being the financially better option due to his youth. And while Russ did better this year, some also argue (and I agree with them) that Fields has more potential. Reports seem to indicate that the Steelers are leaning in this direction, but also "reports" are unreliable and Russell Wilson could easily change his mind, so we'll see.

3. Will Howard goes to the Las Vegas Raiders

Okay, so I get that this is the trendy pick with Chip Kelly going there as well and all, but think about it:

If Justin Fields is the guy for the Steelers, that means that Wilson is gone. Not many other teams in the NFL will be interested in him aside from the Raiders, who are lost at QB and are on the outside looking in behind the Titans, Giants, and Browns, who all need quarterbacks. Considering they got Pete Carroll to be their head coach, what if...

1. They sign Russell Wilson to a 2-3 year deal.

2. They draft Will Howard in the 2nd or 3rd round.

3. Howard beats out Russ for the job in 2026?

Then we have 3 Buckeye starters at QB in the NFL in 2 years.

Insane? Probably. But if it happens? I'd be pretty thrilled.
