Several NFL teams will be facing interesting quarterback situations this offseason. Between quarterbacks possibly retiring or perhaps seeking new NFL teams, there are going to be changes. Some NFL teams are building for the future, which also has a major impact on quarterback decisions.

10 NFL teams that should make a change at QB in 2022

#10 - New York Giants

The New York Giants are one of the NFL teams expected to compete for a playoff spot this season. But they are off to another terrible start. If they don't turn things around quickly, it is likely that General Manager Dave Gettleman will be fired. He was the one who took the risk on quarterback Daniel Jones, drafting him way above his projection. The new GM may want to go in another direction at quarterback.

#9 - Green Bay Packers

It is quite possible the Aaron Rodgers era in Green Bay ends after the 2021 NFL season. The Packers have already drafted his possible replacement, Jordan Love, so it might be time to pass the torch. The history of quarterbacks in Green Bay is probably the most legendary of all NFL teams. Love looks like the next player up.

#8 - Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings are one of the transitional NFL teams. There is a good chance that this is the last season for head coach Mike Zimmer. That could also mean Kirk Cousins' time is running out. They need to evaluate what they have in Kellen Mond but could also look to add a quarterback in free agency or the NFL Draft.

#7 - Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos are solid in every other position besides quarterback. That severely limits their ceiling. With a good quarterback, the Broncos could instantly become contenders. They could be one of the NFL teams to go after Aaron Rodgers if he becomes available this offseason.

#6 - Washington Football Team

The Washington Football Team signed veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick to be their starting quarterback this year. Unfortunately, he got injured in the first game of the season. Taylor Heinicke has played decently in his absence, but neither of them are long-term answers at quarterback. They are one of the NFL teams who could look to the NFL Draft for their future at the position.

#5 - San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers were aggressive in moving up in the NFL Draft to select quarterback Trey Lance. That is a clear indication that they are already thinking about moving on from Jimmy Garoppolo. That could officially happen during this season, but if not, Lance should be the starter by 2022 at the latest.

#4 - Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons are one of the NFL teams undergoing a rebuild right now. They have already traded away Julio Jones and brought in a young new head coach, Arthur Smith. This likely means time is running short for Matt Ryan. The Falcons could be drafting a quarterback this year.

#3 - Detroit Lions

Another NFL team in a full rebuild, the Detroit Lions traded away Matthew Stafford and brought in a new head coach, Dan Campbell. It is unlikely that they believe in Jared Goff as part of their long-term plan. They are another NFL team that could be looking for a quarterback in the NFL Draft.

#2 - Pittsburgh Steelers

Like the Packers, the Steelers could possibly move on from their long-time starting quarterback next year. Ben Roethlisberger is nearing the end of his NFL career and is only on a one-year contract this season. The Steelers have decisions to make this offseason.

#1 - Houston Texans

It seems more than likely that Deshaun Watson has played his last game as a Texan. Several NFL teams are interested in trading for him and that will probably happen at some point. The Texans could go with Davis Mills if they don't acquire a quarterback in a Watson trade, or they could utilize the NFL Draft.
