The quarterback market in 2026 isn’t pretty. There are few veteran options that offer much upside. Most are the tired trove we’ve seen plenty of through the years — Russell Wilson, Mitchell Trubisky, Marcus Mariota and Kenny Pickett, among others. Add in the fact that the draft is expected to be sparse in for-sure QB talent, and it’s an ugly year to need a quality passer. In that setting, Willis sits as an intriguing candidate. The former Titans third-round pick played well in Green Bay last season, completing 85.7% of 35 pass attempts for 422 yards and three TDs in four games (one start). Willis also showcased his rushing ability, generating 123 yards on 22 carries with two scores. He looked leaps and bounds better than his scattershot early-career struggles. But, was that a byproduct of a good offense under Matt LaFleur and a small sample size? I can’t fault whatever team takes a shot on Willis. His upside is better than most available signal-callers. Yet, with just six career starts, Willis is still far from a sure thing. Handing him the reins, particularly if there are significant guarantees, would be a gamble.
