ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter highlighted the growing quarterback trade activity during the Thursday episode of Get Up on ESPN. While not identifying a specific trade, Schefter noted multiple teams with high draft capital that could facilitate major quarterback moves.
"We have the New York Jets sitting here with five first-round draft picks, yes, the next two years, with the capability of doing whatever they want at the quarterback position. We have the Los Angeles Rams sitting here this offseason with two first-round draft picks. We have the Cleveland Browns sitting here this offseason with two first-round draft picks."
Quarterback Surplus and Uncertainty Across the League
Several teams possess valuable draft picks and uncertain quarterback situations:
- San Francisco may have an extra quarterback available.
- Arizona faces ongoing questions about their quarterback position.
- Trevor Lawrence has yet to fully prove himself.
"This is a league that always has quarterback questions. This now, as much as ever, feels like an arms race with teams positioning themselves to make big moves for quarterbacks. So why is it gonna stop there? When it starts there, it's not gonna stop."
