Young QBs that could be traded soon
By: Jake Rajala
The NFL is always rolling. There are an infinite amount of creative moves. One of the positions that is most important is the quarterback spot. To take it a step further, “young” QBs ought to be discussed. With that said, I’m going to talk about five young QBs that could be traded.
Anthony Richardson
The former first round pick Anthony Richardson is currently the third QB on the Colts depth chart. He is behind Riley Leonard and Daniel Jones. I’d like to see him in a scheme where he can make quick decisions and make plays with his legs. I wouldn’t mind seeing him in Philly or Chicago.
Mac Jones
Mac Jones is arguably the best backup QB in the league. The former Patriot went 5-3 last season. He is efficient with the football, to say the least. The issue is that he may cost an early draft pick. Brock Purdy has also had injury issues, so Kyle Shanahan may want to keep him.
Shedeur Sanders
If Deshaun Watson throws three touchdowns in Week 1, it may be mighty tempting to ship away Sheduer Sanders. They could likely get an early draft pick for him, as well. Sanders is 24 years old, so that could be quite alluring to treams. He made a lot of plays in pre-season, so there’s a lot to like about him.
Zach Wilson
The decision by the Saints to not trade away Spencer Rattler could mean that Zach Wilson is on the trade block. Wilson showed growth in the latest pre-season. He was effective on the run. He also was sharp with his deep throws. Furthermore, he is only 27 years old. He has his whole future in front of him.
J.J. McCarthy
This is an obvious pick. Kyler Murray won the QB competition. The combination of Murray’s legs and Justin Jefferson, should be enough for Murray to shine and keep his job. If Murray gets injured or struggles, I don’t believe J.J. is the answer. I’d rather see them try and lure a QB out of retirement.
Honorable Mention:
Tanner McKee
I’d love to see Tanner McKee get promoted. He’s buried on a talented Eagles QB chart. He’s behind Andy Dalton and Jalen Hurts. He is in front of Cole Payton. I’d like to see Philly ship away Tanner. Tanner is athletic, smart, and accurate with the football. He is 1-1 in his career.
