The 2024 NFL season is nearing its conclusion, and discussions are heating up regarding several veteran quarterbacks who may be nearing retirement. Among them, Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets has hinted that his Week 18 game against the Miami Dolphins could mark the end of his illustrious career. At 41, Rodgers has struggled with injuries this season, and his declining performance raises questions about his future in the league.

Jimmy Garoppolo, now with the Los Angeles Rams, is also under scrutiny. Set to start in Week 18, Garoppolo's performance has not shown the promise expected from a starting quarterback. At 33 years old, he may not be the long-term solution for the Rams, especially with the possibility of them drafting a new quarterback.

Trey Lance of the Dallas Cowboys has faced significant challenges this season, particularly highlighted by a disastrous preseason performance. His struggles to make sound decisions and read defenses have led to speculation about his future with the Cowboys, where he may be replaced as a backup.

Josh Johnson, the Baltimore Ravens' veteran quarterback, holds the record for most teams played for in the NFL. At nearly 40, his career as a backup has been marked by limited opportunities, and he is unlikely to secure a starting role again.

Finally, Brandon Allen of the San Francisco 49ers has been thrust into action due to injuries but has not made a strong case for himself as a viable starter. At 32, he may also face competition in the upcoming draft as the 49ers look for a long-term solution at quarterback.
