The 2022 NFL offseason promised some wild quarterback moves, and it has delivered. Tom Brady retired and then un-retired. Aaron Rodgers announced he was returning to Green Bay and signed a massive extension. Kirk Cousins inked an extension in Minnesota. Russell Wilson was traded to the Broncos, Carson Wentz was shipped to the Commanders, and Deshaun Watson was moved to the Browns before agreeing to a huge deal. Mitchell Trubisky signed in Pittsburgh, and Teddy Bridgewater and Tyrod Taylor took on backup gigs with the Dolphins and Giants, respectively.
And we're not even done yet. Jimmy Garoppolo is still likely to be traded. Baker Mayfield requested a trade and is going to be on the move. Matt Ryan could be in the trade mix. Jameis Winston remains unsigned. A handful of others might be on the move, like Carolina's Sam Darnold. And then there is a crop of young quarterbacks in the draft class who could land with QB-needy teams.
But because the Rodgers, Wilson and Watson dominoes finally fell, it's a good time to look closer at the QB movement as a whole. Which move left its team in the best spot? What about the worst? What remaining situation could be the most interesting to watch, and where will the rest of the quarterbacks looking for new homes land? Our NFL experts weigh in on the best and worst of the QB carousel.
