Who Has Turned Down Season Two of The Quarterback?
After landing on Netflix earlier this month, The Quarterback is already prepping for season two, and rumours are flying about who will feature.
The first season follows Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota in an attempt to get behind the scenes of what being a team's playmaker entails.
The official synopsis from Netflix says:
As Netflix's first partnership with the NFL, Quarterback is a new Netflix sports series that takes a unique look at each season, told through the lens of NFL quarterbacks. For the first time ever, the NFL allowed quarterbacks to be mic'd up for every single game of a season. The series features exclusive, unprecedented access to Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota from the beginning of the 2022 season to its conclusion, following them on and off the field, from inside the huddle with teammates to inside their homes with their families. The series features behind-the-scenes of the biggest moments of the season, as Mahomes set an NFL record for total offense on his way to winning the league and Super Bowl MVP awards; Cousins engineered the greatest comeback in NFL history and led the Minnesota Vikings to an NFC North Division title; and Mariota took over as the starting quarterback with the Atlanta Falcons.
However, a long list is already forming of Quarterbacks that have reportedly turned down the offer to appear in Season Two.
Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
Justin Fields, Chicago Bears
Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles
Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins
Dak Preskott, Dallas Cowboys
Sam Howell, Washington Commanders
Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
Have declined so far, as per Netflix Life and brobible.
Below are some of the reported reasons the star players have turned down the offer.
Lamar Jackson said Netflix reached out to him about their quarterback series and he was appreciative. But he’s focusing “on ball” right now.
