Will Washington Play Quarterback Roulette in 2022?

Syndication: The Oklahoman BRYAN TERRY via Imagn Content Services, LLC

No one knows what the 2022 quarterback class will truly hold. You can have your breakout candidate (like Joe Burrow in 2019), the regressions, the guy who is made to look better by the talent surrounding him...and of course, the big fish in the small pond.

All this is lumped on the shoulders of NFL scouts, front office personnel and coaches to decipher - and believe me when I say; that process has already begun.

The Washington Football Team, barring an unforeseen trade before or during the 2021 season, should AGAIN head into 2022 with quarterback being at or near the top of the needs list. Unlike this past offseason, most of the major gaps should be adequately filled, so a young (or new), signal caller can step in and be surrounded by talent.

So just where can Washington turn to find their guy?


The Big Names:

2020 - 2250 yards 20TD’s 6INT’s


Potential Trade Candidates:

- Aaron Rodgers: I don’t know how serious Rodgers is being here with his demands to be traded, but I have to believe money, and a guaranteed amount at that, fixes everything.

- Deshaun Watson: Innocent until proven guilty is the phrase here. But, could Washington even afford the negative publicity until this mess is sorted out?

- Drew Lock: There is a chance the Broncos go a different direction at QB; be it Teddy Bridgewater, or a 2022 draft select.

- Russell Wilson: HIGHLY unlikely, but I’ll add him for fun.


How will Washington address the HUGE void at quarterback heading into 2022? Will next year - as we should see a new franchise name and re-brand taking place, be the perfect year to grab our signal caller of the future?
