As NFL coaches and executives touch down in Indianapolis this week for the league’s annual scouting combine, a multitude of quarterback conversations await. And the vast majority of them — for the next week or so — will have little to do with the 2022 draft prospects. As one league executive framed it Monday: “There’s three of the top five, six, seven quarterbacks in the league who are on the minds of a dozen [general managers].” That trio? Aaron Rodgers, whose future with the Green… Source link

You’ve heard the narrative: The 2022 NFL draft is not a strong quarterback class. But we’re here to tell you that even if that is true, it might not matter. Teams need quarterbacks. A lot of teams. Tom Brady retired (we think). So did Ben Roethlisberger. The Colts appear ready to move on from Carson Wentz. The Titans might feel the same about Ryan Tannehill.

We’re 34 days from the start of the “legal tampering” period of the NFL offseason, when teams can start negotiating with free agents and processing transactions for the new league year. This of all offseasons will have a major effect on any 2021 NFL draft projections given how many veteran quarterbacks could be in play to switch teams. Until we get final answers on which QBs end up where, the shape of the draft remains quite fuzzy. But we tried our best to forecast how Round 1 — plus a… Source link

Are you happy, NFL? Are you getting what you want? We know the answer to this, of course. The NFL, which for our purposes means the billionaire team owners and their bank accounts, is still being paid by the league’s broadcast partners. It doesn’t matter how many people — players, coaches, staff and their family, and community members — are being needlessly put at risk. As long as the club owners are getting their money, they’re getting what they want. League-friendly media members… Source link
