With Brett Favre on the reserve/retired list in Green Bay and Casey 
Bramlet on the Chargers' roster, NFL teams are carrying 107 quarterbacks 
into the draft. The Bears, with Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton, are the 
only team with fewer than three.

Tampa Bay leads the league with five. Every AFC West team has four. 
Every AFC South team except Indianapolis has four. The 49ers, Giants and 
Bengals also have four. The remaining teams, including the Colts, have 
three apiece.

Teams have less flexibility this offseason because the disappearance of 
NFL Europe has hardened the 80-man roster limit. No more exemptions will 
mean fewer quarterbacks in camp. About a quarter of the league went into 
camp last year with five or six quarterbacks. That is a luxury teams 
might not be able to afford.
