For the most part, we’re lucky to get just one or two quarterback trades during a normal offseason, but that definitely wasn’t the case this year. When it comes to QB trades, the NFL went absolutely off the rails over the past week. Starting on March 10, we saw a total of five QB trades go down in a span of just six days.
It’s not easy to trade a quarterback who’s expected to fill a backup role, but that’s what happened with all five trades over the past week. With that in mind, we decided to take a look at the five teams that traded away a quarterback and rank them based on who got the best compensation in return.
Trade details
Breakdown: This was an absolute steal of a deal for Atlanta. With Ridder on his way out, the Falcons were in a position where they would have likely taken anything they could get in a potential trade. Usually, that ends up being a Day 3 pick in the NFL Draft, but in this case, the Falcons actually hit a home run. Not only did they trade away a player who likely wouldn’t have played a single down for them in 2024, but they got back a huge weapon in return. Moore will now be joining a loaded Falcons offense that already includes Drake London and Darnell Mooney at receiver. Kirk Cousins was probably thrilled to see this trade go down.
Trade details
Commanders get: 2024 third-round pick (78th overall pick) and fifth-rounder (152) Seahawks get: Sam Howell, 2024 fourth-round pick (102) and 2024 sixth-rounder (179)Full trade story here
Breakdown: Every team that currently has a top-three pick in the draft dumped their 2023 starting QB in a trade over the past week and the Commanders definitely got the most in return. Washington was able to move up 24 spots in the draft by flipping a fourth-round pick into a third-round pick. They also got a nice 27-spot bump on Day 3 of the draft by sending the 179th pick to Seattle in exchange for the 152nd pick.
