NFL 2022 season preview: Tom Brady, Russell Wilson & Aaron Rodgers set to star

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

While several big-name quarterbacks have been on the move in the NFL’s off-season, one man just won’t go away.

Just 40 days after announcing his retirement, Tom Brady said in March he is coming back for a remarkable 23rd season.

Despite having already won a record seven Super Bowls, with two different teams, the 45-year-old feels he has “a lot of unfinished business” with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Bucs are again expected to battle it out with Aaron Rodgers’ Green Bay Packers and last season’s Super Bowl winners, the Los Angeles Rams, for the NFC Championship.

And although Brady’s U-turn was big news, Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson joined new teams in two of the most valuable trades in NFL history.

Wilson’s move to Denver has thrust the Broncos into contention alongside the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC West, with all three set to challenge Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills for the AFC crown.

The winners of each Conference will meet at Super Bowl 57 in Arizona on 12 February.

And the new season begins where the last one ended, at LA’s SoFi Stadium as the Rams host the Bills, who are favourites to succeed them as NFL champions (01:20 BST, Friday).
