NFL Free Agency 2022: Predicting where the top 100 players will sign
60. Marcus Mariota, QB: Las Vegas Raiders ➡️ Pittsburgh Steelers
There’s no doubt that Marcus Mariota is going to have some kind of market in the 2022 NFL Free Agency period after rehabbing his value the past couple of seasons with the Raiders.
Mariota has big-time athletic traits and has been a good NFL starter in the past, but he fell off in a bad way with the Titans in 2019 when he was benched for Ryan Tannehill.
Now, Mariota will attempt to do what Tannehill did and revive his career in a new NFL city. I think the Pittsburgh Steelers present an intriguing opportunity to really benefit from a great supporting cast in the playmaker and defense departments.
59. Zach Ertz, TE: Arizona Cardinals ➡️ Jacksonville Jaguars
Zach Ertz has a Super Bowl ring, and while ring chasing is an option, so is a reunion with Doug Pederson with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Jaguars have a lot of money to spend, and Ertz has proven that he’s still able to get open and make plays in the passing game as he progresses into his 30s.
Trevor Lawrence would benefit greatly from a player like Ertz coming aboard and could be a key veteran piece as the Jaguars transition to a new offense under Pederson and his staff.
This fit makes way too much sense.
