The 2022 NFL free agency will be remembered more for the absurd trade action than the actual contracts that free agents signed to start the league year. Blockbuster trades produced new starting quarterbacks for four different teams.
As if Russell Wilson to Denver wasn't splashy enough, Deshaun Watson to Cleveland featured a fully guaranteed $230 million contract that shook the market at its core. Just when we thought Green Bay might trade Aaron Rodgers, the Packers instead dealt the game's best receiver, Davante Adams, to Las Vegas. That surfaced just five days after another high-end receiver, Amari Cooper, was shipped from Dallas to Cleveland.
