Interesting NFL Trade Ideas To Rewrite League in 2023
Interesting NFL Trade Ideas To Rewrite League in 2023
Nothing is more explosive, volatile and extraordinary game than NFL. It is always the game ideas that push its frontiers ahead to make it more exciting. Here are few ideas set forth by experts of the game.
The only thing that could get people talking about the league at this time would be a major deal.
The dust from Independence Day weekend celebrations has passed, and the NFL schedule is entering its final pause before training camps open for the 2023 season.
Over the course of the past several seasons, we’ve seen it all. Jalen Ramsey, Stephon Gilmore, Brandin Cooks, and Darren Waller are just some of the players who have switched teams so far this offseason.
This tends to be an ongoing pattern. There were several significant deals made during the season last year. The addition of Christian McCaffrey revitalized the 49ers’ attack, while Roquan Smith strengthened the Ravens’ defense.
With training camp just around the corner, now is the time to consider some what-if scenarios that could set off some “fireworks.” We’ll keep these concepts within reason while taking risks on trades that might shake up the league and produce potent new attacks and defenses.
Tee Higgins joins Daniel Jones as the New York Giants’ top receiver
Bengals Three third-round picks in 2024, 2025, and 2024 are yours. Wide Receiver Tee Higgins Joins the Giants.
Keeping Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins together for the foreseeable future is likely the Bengals’ top priority. With salary caps in place, that’s going to be tough.
All three of their superstars are still under rookie contracts, but they will soon be eligible for extensions that are expected to be either market-setting or top-of-the-market.
General manager Duke Tobin has previously dismissed speculations of a deal involving Higgins, but no contract extensions have been offered as of yet.
To continue to develop around Burrow and Chase, the Bengals may deal Higgins for a package similar to what the Titans received for A.J. Brown.
New York Giants make a lot of sense, but other clubs might be prepared to match their offer of a first and third round picks for a receiver. The Bengals could then try to trade Higgins to a team outside of the AFC if they so desired.
They owe it to Daniel Jones, who they just gave a large contract extension this offseason, to put resources into his development. Although they have a tight cap position this offseason, they will have $44 million in cap space in 2024.
New Orleans Saints WR Davante Adams and RB Derek Carr Are Back Together Obtain a First Round Pick in 2024 and a Third Round Pick in 2025.
Wide Receiver Davante Adams Joins the Saints
Davante Adams signed with the Las Vegas Raiders in part to play with Derek Carr, a former college teammate. Adams had his second 1,500-yard season of his career during their time in Sin City.
However, their time in Sin City was brief. With the departure of Carr, the Raiders are ushering in a new era with Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback.
However, there is already evidence to suggest that Adams and the Raiders may be headed for a breakup. In interviews with the press, he hasn’t exactly been a cheerleader for the team.
I have to accept this and be as hopeful as I can be,” he told Mirin Fader of The Ringer. “It’s not what I was planning on happening, but here we are.”
The severity of Garoppolo’s injury is also important. The organization apparently didn’t know Garoppolo would need foot surgery when he signed his contract, as reported by Vic Tafur of The Athletic.
If he is unable to play due to health concerns, the Raiders have a way out of their contract since “they are not 100 percent certain everything will work out.”
The Saints have repeatedly demonstrated their willingness to deal with salary cap issues in the offseason. Adams’ cap figure can be accommodated in this year’s budget of $14.3 million.
Carr would have more to work with than he ever has in his whole career if he had a wide receiver trio consisting of Adams, Chris Olave, and Michael Thomas.
Cooper Kupp and Amon-Ra St. Brown Rams are the Detroit Lions’ new receiving duo
The Vikings’ third-round pick from 2024 and a third-round selection from 2025 are yours. Cooper Kupp, Wide Receiver, Lions
The NFC is missing a clear leader. The two teams with the best chances of representing the NFC in the Super Bowl are the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers. The Cowboys aren’t too far off, but the standings get less clear after that.
The Super Bowl LVI champion Los Angeles Rams still have some of the league’s best players available, and the Detroit Lions might strengthen their case by acquiring one of them.
With a strong offensive line, a revival from quarterback Jared Goff, and receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Golden Tate leading the way, the Lions had one of the best offenses in the league. If paired with Kupp, the receiving corps would become extremely hostile.
Kupp and St. Brown have some overlapping skills, but Kupp only spent 43.4% of his snaps in the slot last season (per Player Profiler). Ben Johnson, the team’s coordinator, is a savvy play-caller who will figure out how to make the most of their abilities.
The Lions need to surround Goff with a first-rate supporting cast if they want to advance far in the playoffs with him at quarterback. The six-game punishment Jameson Williams received for breaking the league’s gambling policy will further exacerbate the problem.
Adding one of the league’s most gifted receivers to the team while also helping the Rams with their rebuild would be a win-win for both teams.
Baltimore Ravens & Washington Commanders Swap “The King” Patrick Queen & Chase Young
LB Queen Patrick and a fourth-round selection in 2024. Chase Young, Receiving for the Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens seem to be the AFC’s forgotten contender. They made the playoffs without Lamar Jackson down the stretch, and were on the cusp of scoring the deciding touchdown in the wild card round before Sam Hubbard returned a fumble 98 yards for a touchdown in the other direction.
However, the Ravens must play excellent defense to remain competitive in a division that features Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and Justin Herbert.
Adding a pass rusher like Chase Young would be a huge step in the right direction. youthful would be an exciting addition to a youthful core that already features Odafe Oweh and David Ojabo, who both have a lot of potential and earned Rookie of the Year in 2020.
After only playing in 12 games over the past two seasons and recording 1.5 sacks, the Commanders decided not to exercise his fifth-year option because to his injury history.
Patrick Queen’s fifth-year option was not picked up by the Ravens, either. However, they did give Roquan Smith a $100 million contract over five years after acquiring him in a midseason trade.
He has made some progress. He has started every game since being chosen and made 117 tackles and 5 sacks in 2022.
The Commanders would strengthen their linebacking corps, and the Ravens’ defensive unit would gain an edge-rusher with playoff experience.
Jacksonville Jaguars Can Get Budda Baker as Defense First team
Cardinals Get a choice in the second round in 2024. Jaguars Get a S Bubbie Baker
Trevor Lawrence still has three years left on his rookie contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, so this is the time to take risks.
As the season came to a close, Lawrence established himself as the type of young quarterback who can guide a club to the postseason. In the wild card round, they defeated the Chargers, and in the divisional round, they battled the Chiefs till the very end.
The addition of Budda Baker, a solid defender, to the secondary could prove to be the game-changer. The five-time Pro Bowler is a versatile defender who can help the Jaguars’ secondary in many ways.
He would provide defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell with an adaptable weapon as they prepare for the high-powered offenses they will face in the playoffs.
The Jaguars are now favored in the AFC South but are expected to be underdogs when facing the conference’s top clubs. The addition of Baker is the kind of step that moves them closer to the top tier of competition.
The Cardinals can get a high draft pick and get rid of Baker all at once. With two years remaining on his present contract, the 27-year-old has asked to be traded and is now looking for a long-term contract.
