Who Is In Free Agency for the NFL in 2022?
The NFL’s 2022 free-agency class features some interesting names, including a few quarterbacks who could be on the move. Here’s a look at who will be available.
Tom Brady
Tom Brady will turn 45 before the 2022 season starts, and he will be an unrestricted free agent. It’s tough to know what Brady’s future holds, but it’s possible that he could retire after this season. If he does decide to play another season, it’s likely that he will return to the Patriots.
Drew Brees
Drew Brees is scheduled to become a free agent in 2022. The future Hall of Famer has said he plans to play for another two or three years, but it’s unknown if he will finish his career with the New Orleans Saints. Brees will be 42 years old when his contract expires, and the Saints may feel they can get by with a younger quarterback.
Aaron Rodgers
quarterback Aaron Rodgers is set to become a free agent in 2022. He has played his entire career with the Green Bay Packers, but there has been speculation that he could move on to another team in the future. Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and would be a coveted free agent if he hits the open market.
Dak Prescott
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is set to become a free agent in 2022. Prescott is coming off a season where he threw for 4,902 yards and 30 touchdowns. He has been the Cowboys’ starting quarterback since 2016 and has led the team to the playoffs in three of his four seasons.
Russell Wilson
Russell Wilson will be an unrestricted free agent in 2022.
Alex Smith
Alex Smith was drafted 1st overall in the 2005 NFL Draft by the San Francisco ers. He played college football at Utah, where he was a two-time Mountain West Conference Player of the Year. He also holds the NCAA record for most career touchdown passes without an interception.
After being traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013, Smith had his finest season as a pro in 2017, when he was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year after leading the Chiefs to a division title. He was traded to the Washington Redskins in 2018 and helped that team win a division title as well.
In 2020, Smith suffered a gruesome leg injury that nearly resulted in amputation. He announced his retirement from football in April 2021.
