To make matters worse, they arguably jumped the gun in sending picks to the Indianapolis Colts for the right to eat Wentz's contract, and without knowing if he'll ever again be a viable franchise QB (could they have at least had a shot at Matt Ryan?). On it, they were basically making their rounds and pleading with teams to send their QB1 to Washington to avoid Ron Rivera being forced to field Taylor Heinicke as starter in 2022, only to be met with ignored calls as Russell Wilson and anyone else with a no-trade clause (e.g., Deshaun Watson) wouldn't remotely entertain playing for the franchise. Things aren't off to the best start to the offseason for the Commanders, be it on or off of the field.
Toss in Ricky Seals-Jones and maybe the Giants offense takes a step forward, likely regretting the Kenny Golladay signing and taking a more measured approach under Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen. They've purchased the same at running back, adding Matt Breida to a roster unsure about the future of Saquon Barkley, and Mark Glowinski is light years beyond the best run blocker you've seen in New York in seasons past. At worst, he might take Jones' job, but time will tell how that all shakes out - though you can at least give the Giants credit for trying to buy insurance. Enter Taylor, a capable starter who has proven he has the ability to enter the Giants quarterback room and, at best, push Jones to take the next step. Is Daniel Jones the answer at quarterback? It's now a perennial question the Giants are still waiting to locate the answer for, because they still haven't, regardless of their public posture. With that said, let's grade where each team stands in late March. it's not been at all pretty in the NFC East as of late. That's not to say no moves were made, because they were, and some were stellar - e.g., Michael Gallup sticking with the Cowboys and the Eagles landing Haason Reddick on a multi-year deal - but in the same month that saw Amari Cooper and La'el Collins shipped out of Dallas and Carson Wentz acquired for multiple draft picks. Considering the Dallas Cowboys owned the division in 2021, to the tune of a 6-0 record en route to the NFC East crown, it was presumed the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders and New York Giants would make waves with new acquisitions to try and reverse their fortunes for 2022 and while the Giants cleaned house with their front office and coaching staff, there haven't been many roster additions that raise the bar.

No one would blame you if you averted your gaze from the NFC East this offseason, considering none of the four teams have truly done much to earn your attention as 2022 NFL free agency begins to settle.
