These are the most important movements of the NFL Free Agency 2022

For this reason, in this article you will find various opinions from our Staff regarding the worst losing movements, teams and players left by the NFL 2022 Free Agency.

1. Which teams are worse off after this NFL 2022 Free Agency?

Luis Nunez

In the first instance one of the biggest losers are the packers, since the loss of WR Davante Adams will be brutal because they do not have an eventual replacement for him. Adams was wanted 169 times last season; the closest receivers on the team in this category are Allen Lazard with 60 and Randall Cobb with 39. In Green Bay they are depleted and QB Aaron Rodgers should be aware of it.

Additionally and contrary to what it might seem, for me the Brown’s They deserve a mention: they mortgaged their long-term future by acquiring QB Deshaun Watson even without a concrete resolution on the civil lawsuits he faces for alleged sexual assault and, beyond the issue in court, he could also face an indefinite suspension by if they establish that you violated the league’s conduct policies.

The Patriots went about re-signing many of their players, but let CB JC Jackson go. I don’t see them as a better team after this. For their part, they are also losers lyou cowboys with DE Randy Gregory leaving due to contract mix-up plus WR Amari Cooper getting rid of; WR James Washington and DE Dante Fowler are not improvements for the organization.

Luis Obregon

The ones that jump out immediately are the falcons, who after losing WR Calvin Ridley and QB Matt Ryan appear to have one of the worst offensive rosters in the entire league. On the other hand, there are the cowboyswho gave a lecture on how not to run a roster by trading Amari Cooper, cutting La’el Collins and failing to close the deal with Randy Gregory.

falcons and Seahawks because they respectively lost Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson, quarterbacks of the most valuable in the NFL. Also they bears because they let go of two of the most valuable players on the team: OG James Daniels and LB Khalil Mack. Finally, the vikingswho re-signed QB Kirk Cousins ​​in a negative move and, in addition, brought in LB Za’Darius Smith on a deal more expensive than projected, and DT Harrison Phillips who has underperformed.

2. Which players were most undervalued in the 2022 NFL Free Agency?

Luis Nunez

the WR Julius Jones He walked out the back door of Tennessee after a disappointing 2021 season. He’s now an unrestricted free agent, but with hamstring issues and the age factor, it looks like his next deal will be anything but lucrative.

Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, Mitchell Trubisky’s happiness at a fresh start is the sadness of his position colleague: QB Mason Rudolf, who was in for his dream opportunity to justify that he could become the franchise quarterback the Steelers want. However, with the acquisition of Trubisky, Rudolph is doomed for eternity to the bench within an organization that has made it clear they don’t trust him.

Jorge Tinajero

the WR Robert Woods, formerly with the Rams, is a good player, but after the signing of WR Allen Robinson, he opted to ask for his trade. He’s a quality receiver for any team and the Titans got him cheap because he’s also coming off an injury that raises questions. Still, he could be the Tennessee WR2 that Julio Jones couldn’t be, though HC Mike Vrabel’s offensive system might not be as favorable to Woods as well.

Luis Obregon

With the rearrangement of the quarterbacks in the league, the most affected momentarily are Jimmy Garoppoloof the 49ers, and Baker Mayfield, of the Browns, who until now have not found a place anywhere. The available spaces are less and less and the conditions could be getting worse both for them and for their current teams.

the LB charles harris, who just signed a 2-year, $13 million extension with Detroit, deserved a more expensive contract than he was paid. For its part, the S marcus-williamswho landed in Baltimore, obtained less than the projected amount due to positional value.

QB Jimmy Garoppolo, San Francisco 49ers.

3. Which movements did you see with the least sense?

Luis Nunez

The arrival of the ED Randy Gregory to the Broncos for 5 years and 70 million dollars. Yes, Denver needed an upgrade at the position, but they went overboard with the pay. During 2021 Gregory recorded 6 sacks and 19 tackles in 12 games played; similar numbers to those of Dorance Armstrong Jr., who last year served as Gregory’s backup and produced 5 sacks and 37 tackles in 13 total games. Armstrong Jr. has an annual salary of $6.5 million, Gregory has $14 million. Will he pay back every penny?

Jorge Tinajero

The early hiring of the WR Zay Jones with the Jaguars, as if talent at wide receiver is in short supply and they need to hire one quickly. It’s true that QB Trevor Lawrence needs help, but Jones must have been the third or fourth choice for many teams looking to improve at the position. I don’t get it, and I doubt it’s relevant in Jacksonville.

Luis Obregon

The trade from Davante Adams to the Raiders I think it is one in which no one benefits completely. The Packers lose the best receiver in the league and QB Aaron Rodgers their best target, while the Raiders remain the lowest ranked team in the AFC West. Perhaps the only beneficiary was Adams because of the kind of contract he received (5 years, $140 million).

diego lozano

Christian Kirk to the Jaguarss: he was paid a monetary sum equivalent to that of a WR1 when at best he is a WR2. Also his incorporation of the LB Foyesade Oluokunwho played below average last season, but Jacksonville still paid him a Top 10 contract at the position.

For his part, after a season in which he was absent due to a serious back injury, the LB arrives Za’Darius Smith to the Vikings an elite contract and, finally, the extension that the RB received James Conner with the Cardinals; I will never agree with a team paying that much money (3 years, $21 million) in an area with very little position value.

Remember that this period is not over yet and more movements may come. Stay tuned with this article:
