5 NFL stars who should look to move on from their current teams
The 2022 NFL offseason is well underway and several stars, such as Russell Wilson, have already switched teams. With the free agency period set to begin in a few days and the trade market having been active, many more players are expected to leave their current teams over the next several weeks.
Here are five players currently under contract who should try to get to a new team for the 2022 NFL season.
NFL stars who should be looking to leave their current teams in the 2022 offseason
#5 - Brandin Cooks, WR, Houston Texans
Brandin Cooks is entering the final year of his contract with the Houston Texans in 2022. This makes him a potential trade candidate, but even more so because the Houston Texans are in the middle of fully rebuilding their entire roster.
It's unlikely that the veteran wide receiver will remain with the team beyond the 2022 season, so it makes the most sense to trade him now and get something in return rather than let him walk for free at the end of the year. Cook would probably prefer to play for a contending team this year, so tarding him makes sense for both sides as a mutually beneficial option.
#4 - Jarvis Landry, WR, Cleveland Browns
On the same day they agreed to trade for WR Amari Cooper, the Browns also have granted permission to veteran WR Jarvis Landry to see a trade, per sources.
Jarvis Landry has reportedly been unhappy with his situation with the Cleveland Browns this past year. There are rumors that he would like to be traded to a new team during the 2022 NFL offseason. Like Cooks, Landry is also entering the final year of his contract, which makes him a potential trade candidate. The Browns recently acquired Amari Cooper via trade with the Dallas Cowboys, so they may grant Landry his wish of joining a new team.
