NFL Draft Rumors: Aaron Rodgers' Decision Looms as Teams Eye Key Trades for Top Talent
  • Michael Mayer of the Las Vegas Raiders is considered expendable after the team acquired a standout tight end, making him a likely trade candidate.

  • Dallas Goedert of the Philadelphia Eagles could also be traded for draft capital as the team looks to draft a successor tight end.

  • As the NFL Draft approaches, trade activity has been minimal as teams assess the futures of marquee players.

  • Aaron Rodgers' future remains uncertain, and his decision on whether to play in 2025 will significantly impact teams' quarterback strategies.

  • The potential for Rodgers to sign with a team after the draft could create competition among franchises in need of a quarterback.

  • Kirk Cousins of the Atlanta Falcons is available for trade, but his no-trade clause complicates any potential move as teams navigate their quarterback needs.

  • Kayvon Thibodeaux of the New York Giants may also be traded, depending on the team's draft strategy with their third overall pick and his pending contract decisions.

  • Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins has had a tumultuous offseason, with trade discussions fueled by his desire for a fresh start and the team's need to revamp their roster.

  • Similarly, Jalen Ramsey, also of the Dolphins, is on the trade block, though his contract and recent performance may limit the potential return.

  • George Pickens of the Pittsburgh Steelers could be traded due to off-field issues, despite being a talented young player facing a looming contract extension.

  • Brandon Aiyuk of the San Francisco 49ers has a significant contract situation that complicates potential trades, especially following a serious injury last season.

  • Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys is expected to be a key trade piece if the team does not secure a contract extension, potentially yielding multiple first-round picks.
