Trade bait! One player from all 32 teams who could be dealt around the NFL Draft
In a two-week span in early March, the new league year opened with a flurry of trades. Some big names like receivers Deebo Samuel and D.K. Metcalf, tackle Laremy Tunsil, safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson and quarterback Geno Smith were shipped off to new teams. Sixteen players were traded in all.
And the odds are pretty good that they won't be the last.
In fact, more could be coming soon with the NFL draft coming up on April 24. That's always a great time for teams to cast off expendable veteran players for much-needed draft picks. And there's always suitors willing to take on a proven player in exchange for the chance to pick a player who might never pan out.
Exactly who could be dealt is hard to predict, but every team has at least one valuable trade chip — a player that would surely draw interest if they are actually placed on the market.
So, what follows is a list of the most valuable potential trade chips for every NFL team — a player who could conceivably be dealt in the right circumstances, and who could potentially bring their team something (maybe even something substantial) in return. Some of these players are already on the block. Some of them could be soon.
But all of them are valuable enough to make their current teams at least think about a trade, if someone calls and the price is right.
He signed a two-year, $19 million extension last November, but there were teams interested in acquiring him before he did. The Cards do have depth at his position and have to be wary of the fact that he'll be 30 next month and has yet to play a full season in his eight-year career. Two straight 1,000-yard seasons, though, could be a lure for another team, especially considering his low salary of $3.6 million and no guarantees
