Here's every move you might have missed from the 2023 NFL offseason

It’s easy to forget what happened over the past six months over the NFL offseason.

Most of the major moves happened before April Fools’ Day, including coaching changes, free agent signings and blockbuster trades.

Before the preseason gets underway with next week’s Hall of Fame Game, let’s take a look back at everything that has happened since the 2022 season ended.

Here’s a primer of every move you might have missed during the offseason:

What NFL quarterbacks changed teams in 2023?

Aaron Rodgers: Packers → Jets

Derek Carr: Raiders → Saints

Jimmy Garoppolo: 49ers → Raiders

Gardner Minshew: Eagles → Colts

Baker Mayfield: Rams → Bucs

Sam Darnold: Panthers → 49ers

Jacoby Brissett: Browns → Commanders

Andy Dalton: Saints → Panthers

Rodgers is the headliner here, as he moved from Green Bay to New York after 18 seasons with the Packers. Carr signed with the Saints after nine seasons with the Raiders, while Garoppolo rejoined his former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels in Las Vegas after six years in San Francisco.

Minshew and Mayfield will enter training camp with the chance to start for their new teams, but nothing is guaranteed. Darnold could start in San Francisco depending on Brock Purdy’s health, while Brissett and Dalton appear likely to back up young starters in Sam Howell and Bryce Young, respectively.

What NFL running backs changed teams in 2023?

Miles Sanders: Eagles → Panthers

Rashaad Penny: Seahawks → Eagles

D’Andre Swift: Lions → Eagles

Jamaal Williams: Lions → Saints

David Montgomery: Bears → Lions

D’Onta Foreman: Panthers → Bears

Devin Singletary: Bills → Texans

Damien Harris: Patriots → Bills

Samaje Perine: Bengals → Broncos

A handful of starting-level running backs swapped teams this offseason. The Eagles signed Penny and traded for Swift after letting Sanders walk to the Panthers. After losing Swift to Philly and Williams to New Orleans, the Lions added Montgomery from their division rival. The Bears countered by signing Foreman.

In the AFC East, Singletary left the Bills for the Texans and he was replaced by Harris from the rival Patriots. Another under-the-radar move was Perine going from Cinicinnati to Denver.

Ezekiel Elliott: Cowboys → Unsigned

Dalvin Cook: Vikings → Unsigned

Leonard Fournette: Buccaneers → Unsigned

Kareem Hunt: Browns → Unsigned

These four veterans remain unsigned as of July 27. They are all former Pro Bowlers with experience, but teams tend to favor cheaper and fresher players at this position.

What NFL wide receivers changed teams in 2023?

DeAndre Hopkins: Cardinals → Titans

D.J. Moore: Panthers → Bears

Brandin Cooks: Texans → Cowboys

Jakobi Meyers: Patriots → Raiders

Odell Beckham Jr.: Ravens

JuJu Smith-Schuster: Chiefs → Patriots

These six receivers will be expected to contribute in a big way immediately. Hopkins and Moore are the clear-cut No. 1 receivers on the Titans and Bears, respectively. Cooks and Meyers will play the No. 2 role behind stars CeeDee Lamb and Davante Adams. Beckham is back in the NFL after rehabbing his torn ACL last season, while Smith-Schuster will be tasked with helping turn around the Patriots’ offense.

Allen Lazard: Packers → Jets

Randall Cobb: Packers → Jets

DJ Chark: Lions → Panthers

Adam Thielen: Vikings → Panthers

Allen Robinson: Rams → Steelers

Robert Woods: Titans → Texans

Lazard and Cobb followed Rodgers from Green Bay to New York, as both will serve a key role in making the quarterback comfortable in a new environment. Chark and Thielen joined the Panthers from the NFC North, where they’ll catch passes from No. 1 pick Bryce Young. Robinson and Woods are veterans hoping to stick with their new teams.

What NFL tight ends changed teams in 2023?

Darren Waller: Raiders → Giants

Dalton Schultz: Cowboys → Texans

Hayden Hurst: Bengals → Panthers

Irv Smith Jr.: Vikings → Bengals

Mike Gesicki: Dolphins → Patriots

Jonnu Smith: Patriots → Falcons

Robert Tonyan: Packers → Bears

The Giants are hoping to get Waller back to his 2020 form, when he starred for the Raiders. Several other solid veterans were on the move, including Schultz, Hurst and Smith Jr. Gesicki joined the Patriots, who subsequently dealt Smith to the Falcons. Tonyan jumped from one NFC North team to another.

What NFL offensive linemen changed teams in 2023?

Mike McGlinchey: 49ers → Broncos

Orlando Brown Jr.: Chiefs → Bengals

Andrew Wylie: Chiefs → Commanders

Jawaan Taylor: Jaguars → Chiefs

Donovan Smith: Buccaneers → Chiefs

Andre Dillard: Eagles → Titans

McGlinchey got the biggest contract of any offensive lineman in free agency, but the Chiefs were the story at this position. They lost Brown Jr. and Wylie, replacing them with Taylor and Smith. Dillard, meanwhile, left his backup role in Philly for a chance to start in Tennessee.

What NFL defensive linemen changed teams in 2023?

Javon Hargrave: Eagles → 49ers

Dalvin Tomlinson: Vikings → Browns

Ogbo Okoronkwo: Texans → Browns

Za’Darius Smith: Vikings → Browns

Marcus Davenport: Saints → Vikings

Zach Allen: Cardinals → Broncos

Dre’Mont Jones: Broncos → Seahawks

Hargrave received a massive deal to jump from the NFC champion to the NFC runner-up, where he’ll team with Nick Bosa. The Browns addressed their D-line weakness with three major signings – Tomlinson, Okoronkwo and Smith. Davenport filled Smith’s vacancy with the Vikings, while Allen went to the Broncos and Jones left Denver for Seattle.

What NFL linebackers changed teams in 2023?

Bobby Wagner: Rams → Seahawks

Eric Kendricks: Vikings → Chargers

Tremaine Edmunds: Bills → Bears

T.J. Edwards: Eagles → Bears

Bobby Okereke: Colts → Giants

David Long: Titans → Dolphins

Two veteran star linebackers were on the move, with Wagner going back to Seattle and Kendricks joining the Chargers after eight seasons with the Vikings. The Bears made two big-money signings – Edmunds and Edwards – to bolster their defense. Okereke and Long, coming off career seasons, joined new teams in New York and Miami, respectively.

What NFL defensive backs changed teams in 2023?

Jalen Ramsey: Rams → Dolphins

Stephon Gilmore: Colts → Cowboys

Patrick Peterson: Vikings → Steelers

Jeff Okudah: Lions → Falcons

Jessie Bates: Bengals → Falcons

Cameron Sutton: Steelers → Lions

Emmanuel Moseley: 49ers → Lions

C.J. Gardner-Johnson: Eagles → Lions

Ramsey and Gilmore, two former All-Pros, were traded in cost-cutting moves for their former teams as they rebuild. Peterson, 33, will join a talented Steelers defense. The Falcons traded for Okudah, a former first-rounder, and signed Bates, a big-name safety. The Lions added three potential starters in their secondary with Sutton, Moseley and Gardner-Johnson.

Who are the new NFL head coaches for 2023?

Panthers: Steve Wilks (interim) → Frank Reich

Broncos: Jerry Rosburg (interim) → Sean Payton

Colts: Jeff Saturday (interim) → Shane Steichen

The Panthers, Broncos and Colts fired their coaches in the middle of last season, and all three did not retain their interim coaches. Reich joins Carolina after being fired by Indianapolis last November, Payton takes over the Broncos after a year on television and Steichen gets his first head coaching job in Indianapolis after serving as the Eagles’ offensive coordinator.

Cardinals: Kliff Kingsbury → Jonathan Gannon

Texans: Lovie Smith → DeMeco Ryans

Two defensive coordinators were hired this offseason – Gannon (Eagles) and Ryans (49ers), both from the NFC Championship Game finalists. Both coaches joined long-term rebuilding situations in Arizona and Houston.
