The 2023 NFL offseason will be defined, I believe, by change at the game’s most important position. Quarterbacks who have had success rarely, if ever, get to the free-agent or trade market. This year, however, it seems will be an exception to that rule. There is a free-agent/trade class of quarterbacks that has as many names that have been productive as we have ever seen.
Pending free-agent or to-be-traded quarterbacks include Tom Brady, Geno Smith, Jimmy Garoppolo, Daniel Jones, Derek Carr, Baker Mayfield and more. Even beyond that group, the two most interesting names (at least to me) that may be on the move are Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson. Both have been in situations with their teams that have had some subtle (or not so subtle) friction over the past three seasons, friction that should come to a head in the next month. Let’s examine.
