While the NFL gets a much-needed breather from the dizzying pace of changes at the sport’s most important position, the conditions appear ripe for a fresh round of turnover in the next two years.

There will be only six new starters this season, but a whopping 17 others are entering the last or next-to-last year of their contracts.

Translation:Teams will either spend big money to extend those contracts, or you could see prospective free-agent quarterbacks such as Jeff Hostetler, Jeff George and Randall Cunningham playing elsewhere next season.
