#NFL TRENDING NEWS UPGRADE#

The Denver Broncos added extra second- and third-round picks from the Los Angeles Rams for edge defender Von Miller, hired former Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett to be their head coach and are perfectly positioned to pull the trigger on this offseason’s blockbuster move. You don’t acquire a back-to-back MVP for anything less than a monster trade package. Whatever you ask Rodgers to do, he can become the best in the league at it in short order.Įven at 38 years old and likely expecting a contract extension that surpasses Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ $45 million per year average, Rodgers will have zero discount on the trade market. His 79.5% adjusted completion rate ranks third among quarterbacks with at least 100 attempts over the past two seasons, and he’s earned PFF’s top grade on play-action attempts (93.3) despite expressing some trepidation about turning his back to opposing defenses so often in head coach Matt LaFleur’s play-action heavy offense. Since 2020, Rodgers’ 85 touchdown passes are the most of any quarterback, while his nine interceptions rank tied for 37th.

Rodgers certainly backed up his off-field frustration with another elite regular season, bringing home his second consecutive MVP award. Rodgers has made it clear he won’t wait long to decide his NFL future, and he’s also continued to express gratitude toward general manager Brian Gutekunst for accommodating a lot of his requests from last offseason.

The question is whether that upgrade is worth $30M-plus more per year. Garoppolo would still serve as a sizable upgrade over Taylor Heinicke and Alex Smith. Samuel’s 83-yard touchdown against the Chicago Bears is a good example of why big-time throws and turnover-worthy plays can serve as a more informed TD/INT ratio:Īll of that said, quarterback desperation in the NFL is real. Garoppolo made just 10 big-time throws compared to 23 turnover-worthy plays in 2021, almost the inverse of his 20 touchdown passes to 12 interceptions. The most important question is, of course, whether Garoppolo can still lead his team to big wins without Kyle Shanahan scheming things up as well as any coach in the NFL, a stout offensive line and dynamic playmakers in the form of wide receiver Deebo Samuel and tight end George Kittle. Garoppolo has become one of the more polarizing quarterbacks in the NFL, as he once again led the 49ers to multiple playoff victories - throwing an interception in each and a touchdown pass in neither. Commanders inherited contract: One year, $25.6 million.Terms: Commanders send 2023 2nd, 2022 4th.San Francisco 49ers trade QB Jimmy Garoppolo to Washington Commanders When factoring in the first- and second-round picks the Eagles acquired from the Indianapolis Colts, they end up close to net even in a swap of Carson Wentz for Russell Wilson. Philadelphia inherits a quarterback who earned over three wins above replacement on average from 2012 to 2020. Mike Renner’s recent mock draft has Wilson headed to the Eagles, with the Seahawks hitting the reset button at quarterback. Goff and a 1st → Lions for salary relief.There’s a possibility the blockbuster trade was truly: The issue with trying to reconcile the Stafford-for- Jared Goff trade value is: How was Goff valued in the deal? The Eagles try to follow the Los Angeles Rams’ precedent here with a similar value trade for Russell Wilson, who is the same age as Matthew Stafford and has a similar remaining contract as Stafford did last offseason. Eagles inherited contract: Two years, $51M.QBs who may have changed their value and/or landing spot: Seattle Seahawks trade QB Russell Wilson to Philadelphia Eagles Rankings & Projections | WR/CB Matchup Chart | NFL & NCAA Betting Dashboards | NFL Player Props Tool | NFL & NCAA Power Rankings To understand exactly what each quarterback brings to the table and where they may fit best, PFF’s 2022 QB Annual has you covered. This year’s quarterback carousel should be just as exciting as the 2021 offseason, with the first big domino still yet to fall. NFL clubs seem more willing to move players depending on their respective roster situations, and perhaps this trend continues into the 2022 offseason.

Future Hall of Fame wide receiver Julio Jones also went to a new squad, among many other notable trades throughout the 2021 season. We may look back on the 2021 offseason as a pivotal moment for NFL roster construction - three highly paid quarterbacks switched teams, including now-Super Bowl champion Matthew Stafford with the Los Angeles Rams.
