Could nearly one-third of the NFL have an incentive to tank for a quarterback?
On the latest episode of A Must Win Game with Maggie Gray, Maggie looks at the surprising number of NFL teams that could potentially lose interest in winning in 2026 if their season starts going sideways — because the 2027 NFL Draft could feature an extraordinary group of quarterbacks.
With names like Arch Manning, Dante Moore and other highly regarded prospects potentially available, quarterback-needy teams could have a huge incentive to think about the future rather than fight for a few extra wins.
Maggie's count?
Nearly one-third of the NFL could potentially be looking toward the 2027 quarterback class.
So which teams could be sellers at the trade deadline?
Which teams might decide there's more value in losing than winning?
And could the NFL actually see an NBA-style tanking conversation develop around the next franchise quarterback?
Maggie breaks down why the 2027 QB class could completely change the incentives for struggling NFL teams.
