The NFL offseason is finishing up and training camps are starting soon and while trades are unusual for this time of year, NFL.com has put together a list and some players that could get traded include Kirk Cousins, Danny Amendola, Mike Wallace, Ryan Broyles, LaMichael James, Brandon Flowers, Ryan Mallett and Christian Ponder and teams like the Cleveland Browns, Washington Redskins, San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings and NY Jets could be involved in some of those deals.
The Washington Redskins had the chance to trade Kirk Cousins at the NFL draft to the Cleland Browns, but the team turned down a fourth round pick for him. Jay Gruden likes what he has in Cousins and he is a good insurance policy for Robert Griffin, who has shown over the past two years that he has issues staying healthy. RG3 looks strong coming back this season, but anything can happen in the course of a schedule and having Cousins as the backup is likely a better option than Colt McCoy right now.
The Browns took Johnny Manziel and obviously do not need Cousins anymore, but some of the backups around the league could be options on the trading block. Injuries have already starting piling up around the league and that could spark some moves, while the Patriots will have to decide how many QBs to carry this season. Backup Ryan Mallett is heading into the last year of his deal and he could get moved after the team drafted Jimmy Garoppolo, but Bill Belichick does things his own way and if he feels the team is better with Mallett, he will keep him for now.
Matt McGloin and Christian Ponder are two other backups that could get traded and the Houston Texans are a potential fit, but that means the team will not be going with Ryan Fitzpatrick or Tom Savage and that looks unlikely. The team drafted Savage and guaranteed Fitz $4 million so that likely means both are staying and will get their chances. LaMichael James has been shopped all offseason and he hasn't been moved and that could go down later in camp if he doesn't get released by the 49ers.
Danny Amendola and Mike Wallace along with Ryan Broyles are wideouts that could move, while Denarius Moore has also been mentioned in trade rumors. Brandon Flowers had a big deal and the Chiefs could look at moving him as well.
