Brian Hoyer signed a one-year deal with the Bears in 2016 to backup starter Jay Cutler. Meredith was a great player who consistently led the Cowboys to good seasons, but he suffers in the ratings for his losses to Vince Lombardi's Packers in the 1966 and 1967 championship gamesthe latter being the famous "Ice Bowl" in Green Bay.

What is even more amazing is both QBs played for the same franchise when it happened. Clausen now spends his time with his family and raising his newborn son, Cooper Clausen. Going just by the numbers, Namath really wasn't much of a player outside of a few good seasons, and some people would want to rank him higher. On another level, it's more understandable when the other quarterback is Dan Marino, generally considered the best quarterback not to win an NFL championship. The contract voiding makes Brady free to sign elsewhere, but the Buccaneers are still on the hook for a significant amount of money.

One ring isn't zero; I can't penalize a guy for only having one. Many teams would presumably still take a chance on the 46-year-old version of Brady, including the Buccaneers, so whether he continues his career is up to him. Although this was a disturbing scene for a former starting NFL quarterback, what caught national attention was the fact that after his arrest, Jackson asked for a public defender because he didn't have any money to afford a lawyer.
