Arizona Cardinals: Trade edge Josh Sweat for 2027 Day 2 pick
If the Cardinals can’t find a trade partner who’s willing to swap a player for Sweat, they should try stockpiling 2027 draft capital. With the idea that the incoming class could be an elite group, next year’s early-round picks have great value.
ESPN’s Dan Graziano reported that Sweat isn’t happy in Arizona. Instead of keeping a disgruntled player on a rebuilding team, general manager Monti Ossenfort should look to flip him for a top-100 pick in next year’s draft.
Los Angeles Rams: Trade a late 2027 pick for New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas
The Rams have one of the league’s best receiver tandems with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, but the No. 3 spot is wide open. Although Nacua and Adams frequently shift inside the formation, the offense could fit in a primary slot receiver.
Los Angeles may be able to acquire Douglas in exchange for a late 2027 draft pick. He saw a drop-off in his receiving numbers last season, and the Patriots added wideouts A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs this offseason. If New England doesn’t trade Kayshon Boutte, Douglas could be on the move.
As a result, Los Angeles can pounce on an opportunity to bring in a 25-year-old wideout with a solid resume. Douglas has 146 receptions for 1,629 yards and six touchdowns.
San Francisco 49ers: Trade QB Mac Jones for a 2027 2nd-round pick
Because of quarterback Brock Purdy’s injury history, the 49ers should keep Jones unless a team offers at least a second-round pick. With that said, San Francisco Chronicle’s Eric Branch believes the team might trade Jones if 2025 seventh-rounder Kurtis Rourke seems capable of serving as the primary backup.
Keep in mind that Jones is set to be a free agent next offseason and may chase an opportunity to start elsewhere. Coming off a season in which he threw for 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions in 11 games (eight fill-in starts), he won’t be able to increase his stock unless Purdy is on the sidelines.
Seattle Seahawks: Trade a mid-round 2027 pick for Las Vegas Raiders IOL Jackson Powers-Johnson
The Seahawks have a decent offensive line, though they can attempt to upgrade it on the interior. Aside from 2025 first-rounder Grey Zabel, Seattle has replacement-level starters in center Jalen Sundell and right guard Anthony Bradford.
The reigning champions lost lead running back Kenneth Walker III in free agency, but they can field a productive ground attack with a high-end offensive line group. The Seahawks should inquire about Powers-Johnson, who’s battling for a starting guard position with the Raiders in consecutive offseasons.
If Powers-Johnson doesn’t earn a starting job at guard, head coach Klint Kubiak may be willing to give his former team a parting gift. Powers-Johnson could play his natural position at center in Seattle, which won’t happen in Las Vegas with three-time Pro Bowler Tyler Linderbaum in that spot.
