The quarterback carousel this offseason could get pretty wild.
There’s still over a month until NFL free agency begins, but that doesn’t mean trades/signings can’t be agreed to before then.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer is reporting that the Commanders, Eagles, Panthers, and Broncos are expected to take a “major swing” for a quarterback.
In this AM’s MMQB from SoFi in Inglewood to the party in Hawthorne, ALL you’d want to know about LVI …
1⃣ McVay: “They play for each other.”
2⃣ O’Connell on Stafford’s no-look.
3⃣ Weddle on @AaronDonald97.
4⃣ Morris’ move.
5⃣ Snead: Batman v. Robin.https://t.co/dys3udowRM— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) February 14, 2022
It makes sense for these teams to swing for a starter, especially Washington. Taylor Heinicke was fine last year but he’s not a player that the Commanders will build their franchise around.
They haven’t had a true franchise quarterback in over a decade.
The Eagles just drafted Jalen Hurts, though he was a bit inconsistent in his first year of starting. He had 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions to go along with 3,144 yards passing.
Philadelphia might give him another year to see what he has, but it still wouldn’t be surprising if the team went after someone better.
The Broncos and Panthers are also in dire need of a franchise quarterback. Denver drafted Drew Lock three years ago but he hasn’t panned out, and Carolina didn’t get good production out of Sam Darnold this past season.
Denver has also long been rumored to have an interest in Aaron Rodgers should he decide to leave Green Bay.
This is shaping up to be a crazy offseason as these four teams won’t be alone in taking a swing for a quarterback.
