5 NFL players who could still be traded this offseason
The 2022 NFL offseason has been nothing short of spectacular. We've seen some of the biggest names in football switch franchises via trades such as Russell Wilson, Tyreek Hill and Davante Adams. We also witnessed some huge free agent signings such as Von Miller and J.C. Jackson.
Following the offseason and the 2022 NFL Draft, a number of the league’s stars could see themselves on new teams come the start of the 2022 season.
Here are five players who could still be traded this offseason.
#5 - Jimmy Garoppolo
While Jimmy Garoppolo might have led the San Francisco 49ers to two NFC Championship games in the last three years, it seems the franchise has decided to roll with 2021 NFL Draft first-round pick Trey Lance going forward.
Garoppolo has shown that he is a competent NFL starter, and there are plenty of teams across the league who need a steady quarterback to lead them into 2022. Despite injury issues, when he’s been on the field Garoppolo is a winner, with a career record of 33-14 and passing for 71 touchdowns against 38 interceptions. Will he be happy to play second fiddle to Lance in San Francisco, or will he see himself as a starter and push for a move away?
#4 - Christian McCaffrey
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is one of the most electrifying players in the NFL when he’s on the field, but keeping him on the field has been a struggle over recent seasons. McCaffrey has played only 10 combined games over the last two seasons, after rushing for 1,387 yards and receiving 1,005 yards in 2019. While the Panthers would rather keep a do-it-all star like McCaffrey, they have already beefed up their running back room with Chuba Hubbard and D’Onta Foreman which may be a sign they’re looking to move on from the Stanford alumni.
