7 Moves We Wish Would Have Happened in 2022 NFL Offseason

Today, we're going to examine seven moves we wish we would have seen this offseason because they'd have made sense, and, well, they'd have upped the entertainment value of the 2022 season, too.These hypothetical moves work from a logistical standpoint and are based on factors like team needs, team goals and any relevant buzz—though some are largely for our own amusement.Each of them could have happened, and each entry is based on a trade, hiring, signing or draft selection that did. Jacksonville has only made the postseason three times this century, and Leftwich (8-3 as a starter that season) helped deliver one of those berths in 2005.With a 24-20 starting record in Jacksonville, Leftwich was one of the franchise's best quarterbacks, and fans would have enjoyed seeing him back in the black and teal.Secondly, it would have been exciting to see Leftwich go from coaching the G.O.A.T. in Brady to coaching Lawrence, who is arguably the most heavily-hyped quarterback prospect since Andrew Luck. Brady would be chasing a Super Bowl with a third team, he'd get to play the New England Patriots twice a year and we'd have all sorts of questions to tackle surrounding Miami.Would the Dolphins have acquired Payton? That probably wouldn't happen if Brady were in the owner's box post-retirement.Alas, we'll have to settle for Brady making another run with the Bucs and new coach Todd Bowles before moving on to a career in media.The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't experienced a losing season under head coach Mike Tomlin, and it will probably fare just fine with Mason Rudolph, Mitchell Trubisky and/or rookie Kenny Pickett under center this season.However, longtime starter Ben Roethlisberger has retired, and the Steelers aren't going to feel quite the same without him. The Cowboys are one of the NFL's most polarizing franchises and a favorite discussion point for many of sports media's talking heads.Had the Cowboys signed eight-time Pro Bowler and one-time Super Bowl MVP Von Miller, it would have been a huge story for Cowboys fans and haters alike.
