"The 2025 NFL offseason featured plenty of quarterback movement via free agency and trades, but five moves stand out from the rest. Sam Darnold signed with the Seahawks, Justin Fields signed with the Jets, Daniel Jones signed with the Colts, Aaron Rodgers signed with the Steelers, and Geno Smith was traded to the Raiders."
"Darnold is a hair behind Daniel Jones and Dak Prescott for third in QBR, showing that his breakout season in Minnesota was neither a fluke nor solely a product of Kevin O'Connell's coaching. He leads the NFL in both air yards per attempt (9.0) and yards per attempt (9.6), while owning the sixth-lowest sack rate (4.1%). That means he's pushing the ball downfield with success and not holding on to it too long."
Five veteran quarterbacks changed teams in the 2025 NFL offseason: Sam Darnold to the Seahawks, Justin Fields to the Jets, Daniel Jones to the Colts, Aaron Rodgers to the Steelers and Geno Smith to the Raiders. All five are starting for their new teams with mixed results. Sam Darnold's 2025 totals include 11 passing touchdowns, 1,541 yards, a 78.5 QBR and a 70.8% completion rate. Darnold leads the league in air yards per attempt (9.0) and yards per attempt (9.6), owns a low sack rate (4.1%), pushes the ball downfield, and makes accurate throws on the run. Late-game turnovers have cost Seattle in key losses, including a Week 1 strip sack by Nick Bosa.
