My favorite teams
That’s not true. The third QB has to be on the 53 but can still play on game day even if he’s inactive.Pretty sure with the new rules they can keep a 3rd qb without counting toward the 53 man roster.....
Thus
Fields as starter
Walker as backup
Rookie as designated 3rd qb
Maybe even keep Peterman on PS
“The emergency quarterback has to be on the 53-man roster and can not be a practice squad call-up. Accordingly, any team who believes they may have to designate an emergency quarterback will have to carry three on their active roster.”
Will Giants carry a 3rd QB on 53-man roster after rule change?
With the New York Giants carry a third quarterback on their 53-man roster after NFL owners approved an emergency QB rule?

“The NFL’s new bylaw specifies that the third emergency quarterback must be on the 53-man roster — and not just on the practice squad. If that quarterback is designated for emergency duty, he won’t count against the 46-man game day total.”
NFL teams can now dress third QB on game days
The new rule was approved Monday at the Spring League Meeting in Minnesota.
