Top Five Quarterbacks Who Could Be Traded Before The End Of Trade Deadline

As the trade deadline looms closer, there will be an avalanche of the drama unfolding in a very short span of time in the NFL roster. A lion’s share of the focus will be upon the quarterbacks shuffling their allegiances with the first one being Joe Flacco being traded to the New York Jets from the Philadelphia Seasons which came in the aftermath of rookie caller signal, Zach Wilson’s injury.

Irrespective of the purpose, may it be building a team from the scratch or may it be to supersede an injured player, the trades will be making the hot stuff up for the following few days. Also, on top of that, the numerous options available on the block will make it irresistible for the franchises to stop bidding for the big names.

Take a look at five quarterbacks who can be traded before the deadline.

#1 Jordan Love

There was massive unrest between Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers before the season kicked off. Things aggravated to such a magnitude wherein the veteran quarterback even placed a trade request. However, the altercation was resolved behind the scenes and Rodgers was cool playing for the Packers for the upcoming season.

Now with things cruising for the Packers, it is highly unlikely that Aaron Rodgers would part ways. This will be the perfect juncture for the Packers to trade allure Brandin Cooks by putting Jordan Love up for grabs to the Houston Texans. If the Packers’ GM, Brian Gutekunst is confident that Rodgers won’t be leaving, then this is the time for him to step up and execute this trade as it will be highly handsome for the Packers.

#2 Jimmy Garoppolo

There is a high probability that the Sunday outing against the Chicago Bears will be Garoppolo’s final outing for the San Francisco 49ers. There have been high demands of the outfit using Trey Lance as the quarterback in a marred season so far that has placed their win-loss records at 2-4 currently. If the 49ers slip up against the Bears on Sunday, that would definitely ring the exit bell for Garoppolo.

With $26.38 million against the cap in 2021, it will be a hard avenue for Jimmy to find a suitor. However, San Francisco may be tempted to trade Jimmy Garoppolo to the Broncos or Houston Texans, considering the fact that they are in dire need of a decent quarterback who can plug the leaks that both the teams have started their campaigns with.

#3 Deshaun Watson

With the sword of Damocles oscillating more vehemently than ever, Deshaun Watson will most likely be traded ahead of the transfer window closing in shortly. Going by the reports of an insider, Josina Anderson, it has also been confirmed that Watson will be not headed to Miami. The reason for the Miami snub has been simpler than ever as the Philadelphia Eagles are closing on the young quarterback after a perennial interest in him for the last few months.

With Philadelphia struggling vehemently and Jalen Hurts letting down on a regular basis, Watson can be the silver lining for the Eagles. There is a high probability that the Eagles will be having three first-round picks in the 2022 NFL Draft, two of which would most likely be in the top 10. They need a paradigm shift to regain their lost glory and Watson knows a thing or two about the same.

#4 Jared Goff

The move of roping in Goff from the Los Angeles Rams didn’t really age well as Detroit Lions are sitting ducks after failing to open their account after seven games in the season. The form that Jared Goff has shown over the starting seven matches will provide the Lions with an enticing option of trading him out and Pittsburgh Steelers will be raring to make a trade for Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers need an entire revamp and right now with days away from the trade deadline, Goff can be a possible solution even though it will be bringing in a momentary reprieve for Mike Tomlin’s outfit.

#5 Tua Tagovailoa

It feels as if there has been a lot of bad blood lately between Tua and the Dolphins. With rumors of Watson coming to Dolphins being snubbed by NFL insiders, there is a high possibility that they may resort to Tua for a while. However, his recent statement where the young signal-caller said that he doesn’t feel wanted at the club made a lot of franchisees believe that he may not be the man for the calling. There is a high probability that the Dolphins may shuffle their interests between the Detroit Lions and the Washington Football team.

The Lions have been left writhing in agony after Jared Goff has failed to fire on all cylinders. They will need a youngster to apply salve to their wounds and who would remain at the franchise with promise for a while. Washington, on the contrary, will need a paradigm shift on and off the field and Tua will be a decent option for them given the young blood that they will be seeking to set things right from the wreckage of naïve mistakes made by them over the past few years.
