The Jets are trading QB Zach Wilson to the Denver Broncos. The deal: Wilson and a 7th to Denver for a 6th.

It's hard to picture this prohibiting the team from taking a QB in the NFL Draft but it certainly insulates them a little bit if they end up unable to move up where they want. Wilson's dynasty SuperFlex value will at least improve in the short term.

The Chiefs are signing backup QB Carson Wentz, most recently of the Rams.

This is just about the best landing spot you could have asked for. Wentz should be scooped off of waiver wires in deep, Superflex Dynasty leagues if he's out there.

“Whatever happens and whatever we do it has to go through Aidan O'Connell. Being honest with you because he's earned that right."
— Raiders coach Antonio Pierce to Steve Wyche⁩ on his QB situation and what’s next.

O'Connell, Minshew, and possibly a first-round NFL Draft selection (Michael Penix?) will make up the quarterback controversy heading into the long Summer months, and it's hard to get excited about any of them.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin reiterated that Russell Wilson “has pole position” to be the starting QB. Not against competition. And “when it’s time to compete, Justin will be given an opportunity to show his capabilities.”

He said Justin Fields “oozes talent.”

Wilson deserves to have competition after his showing in Denver, but in the early stages, it looks as if it's his job to lose. He should be considered off the radar in typical 1QB leagues, but if anything were to happen that granted Fields the job, the latter would be right back in QB1 conversations.

Former Chargers WR Mike Williams is signing with the Jets on a 1-year deal worth up to $15M, another weapon for Aaron Rodgers. He’s on a visit there today.

A 1-2 punch should do wonders for a struggling Jets WR group, and Williams offers a legit piece to whoever takes snaps at QB. Wilson is a great fringe WR1/2 option, while Williams is down in the WR2/3 range

The Rams have agreed to terms with QB Jimmy Garoppolo on a one-year deal.

Following a year with the Raiders, Garoppolo is set to join Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay in L.A.

This may have been the best place Jimmy G could have landed. It still doesn't mean he'll be taking any snaps following his two-game suspension but he would be an interesting streaming option if anything happens to Stafford.

The full trade compensation:
-- Eagles get QB Kenny Pickett and the Steelers original 4th round pick (120 overall) in 2024.
-- Steelers get Eagles 3rd round comp pick (98 overall) and the Eagles highest two 7th round draft picks in 2025.

Related Players: Russell Wilson

This clears the runway for Russell Wilson to take over the starting role throughout the offseason. Pickett will be in pole position to backup Jalen Hurts.

Cardinals WR Hollywood Brown is signing with the Chiefs, another high-octane target for Patrick Mahomes. One of the most talented WRs available, Brown lands in a perfect spot on a 1-year deal worth up to $11M with a chance to cash in next year.

Related Players: Rashee Rice, Skyy Moore, Justin Watson, Justyn Ross

The first addition for the Chiefs WR room has finally come, in the form of Brown. This is unlikely to be the last piece they add, but the immediate impact is bad news for Skyy Moore and Justin Watson, who technically hold the outside roles as it stands prior to the signing.
Hollywood set a new career high by lining up out wide on 79.8% of his snaps last season, and should offer big-play potential in fantasy. His exact value is going to depend on who else the team targets over the next two months.

The Cardinals are trading WR Rondale Moore to the Falcons for QB Desmond Ridder.

Related Players: Drake London, Darnell Mooney

Moore should slot in as the WR3, and will likely be used in a gadget-y role every so often. That won't be enough for fantasy relevance, and the team could still add a piece through the NFL Draft for Kirk Cousins.

The #Bills have agreed to terms with wide receiver Mack Hollins. More help is on the way for Josh Allen and the passing game.

Related Players: Stefon Diggs, Khalil Shakir, Andy Isabella

Hollins figures to line up along the perimeter, opposite Stefon Diggs on obvious passing situations. His rotation will likely be capped if and when the Bills grab another piece to the puzzle, likely through the NFL Draft.
