Over the last eight months, four teams have given up on a former first-round quarterback and traded them away for late-round draft capital. The Dallas Cowboys were the first team to trade for such a player when they gave up this year’s fourth-round draft pick to the San Francisco 49ers for the rights to Trey Lance in August of last year.
Over the last month, three more former first-round quarterbacks have been traded away and the price seems to get lower and lower. It’s hard to say what each team’s intentions are for them to make such deals.
