ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy from Super Bowl week in San Francisco to break down the biggest storylines shaping the NFL offseason — and it all starts with the quarterback market.

021126 JGC Hour 1

From Malik Willis’ rising value to the uncertain futures of Kyler Murray and Tua Tagovailoa, Schefter walks through how a thin draft class and limited free-agent options are about to create a quarterback scramble across the league.

🏈 Malik Willis: Perfect timing

Schefter makes it clear:

Malik Willis picked the right year to hit free agency.

With:

A weak quarterback draft class

Limited veteran options

Desperate teams in need of competition

Willis is poised to be “a man in demand.” Schefter compares the situation to the year Josh McCown suddenly became the top quarterback available, explaining how timing — not pedigree — can drive the market.

His prediction?

A contract similar to Justin Fields’ two-year, $40 million deal — possibly more.

🔄 Kyler Murray & Tua: Hard to trade, harder to replace

Schefter also addresses speculation around Kyler Murray and Tua Tagovailoa, explaining why their situations are far more complicated than fans realize.

For Arizona:

Trading Kyler creates a new problem — finding someone better

The quarterback pool simply isn’t deep enough

For Miami:

Tua’s contract is “exceedingly difficult” to move

A trade would likely require financial gymnastics

The takeaway:

Even teams frustrated with their quarterbacks may end up keeping them — because alternatives are worse.

🏟️ Maxx Crosby & the Raiders’ gamble

Schefter touches on the Las Vegas Raiders’ future, including the speculation around Maxx Crosby’s trade interest.

With:

A new head coach (Clint Kubiak)

The No. 1 overall draft pick

Nearly $90 million in cap space

Schefter suggests this isn’t the worst time to be a Raider — and that things can change quickly, just as they did last year when Myles Garrett and Micah Parsons trade talk ultimately went nowhere.

🧠 Rodgers, McCarthy & Pittsburgh

The segment also explores:

The Steelers’ interest in bringing Aaron Rodgers back

Mike McCarthy’s willingness to reunite with Rodgers

How quarterback scarcity makes even imperfect fits worth exploring

Schefter’s message is consistent:

When the market is thin, options become leverage — and leverage drives decisions.

🌍 International expansion & the bigger NFL picture

Schefter briefly addresses:

The NFL’s aggressive push toward international games

The inevitability of an 18-game season

How the league’s business priorities often outweigh player comfort

He sums up the offseason simply:

Quarterback uncertainty, impatient owners, and shifting power dynamics defined 2026 — and those themes aren’t going away.

⚖️ The bottom line

Adam Schefter leaves listeners with a clear outlook:

Malik Willis will have options

Kyler and Tua’s futures remain fluid

The Raiders and Steelers are pivot points

And quarterback scarcity is about to drive everything

When supply is low, demand skyrockets.
