All the teams in the NFC North have decisions to make on back-up quarterbacks, points out Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com.
The NFC North has the league’s likely MVP in the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers, a 5,000-yard passer in the Lions’ 
While the starting stock is strong in the division, Seifert points out that questions abound at the back-up spots.
Packers: “Flynn could draw interest as a potential starter from several teams, most notably the Dolphins, who hired former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin as their head coach last week. The logical successor is third-string quarterback Graham Harrell.”
Lions: “Quarterback depth is valuable, but you wonder if a team with tight salary cap problems can afford to keep two vested veterans behind their franchise quarterback. Hill ($3.02 million) and Stanton ($900,000) accounted for about $4 million in cap space in 2011, and if the Lions desperately wanted to shave that figure, they could promote Stanton and sign him to a cheaper contract than what Hill was paid last season.”
Bears: “Hanie's disastrous stint as Cutler's replacement might have sealed his exit from Chicago. The Bears didn't think enough of rookie Nathan Enderle to start him in a meaningless Week 17 season finale, making it hard to imagine his ascendance to No. 2. That could leave veteran Josh McCown, another pending free agent, as an option. Or the Bears could seek help on the free agent market themselves.”
Vikings: “The situation in Minnesota is less clear-cut. Ponder remains the starter, and 2011 backup Joe Webb is under contract for 2012. Webb was impressive in one start and appearances in 10 other games, accounting for five touchdowns, but the Vikings' continued commitment to Ponder suggests they might look for other ways to use Webb. If he develops into a hybrid receiver/quarterback/returner, it's possible the Vikings would want an established veteran behind Ponder. That could be Rosenfels, a longtime favorite of general manager Rick Spielman, or he could come from elsewhere.”
