Trades are becoming more common in today’s NFL. Just this year, we saw big-name players such as DeForest Buckner, Stefon Diggs and DeAndre Hopkins. But big trades typically don’t happen during the middle of this summer.

However, there are a few players that could be on the move as their current teams have already explored potential trades. Today, we are looking at three superstars who could be on the move sometime during the 2020 NFL season that could help make the Raiders a legit playoff contender.

1. DE Yannick Ngakoue

The first player that would make sense for Las Vegas via trade is someone they’ve already called about; Pro Bowl defensive end Yannick Ngakoue.

Since entering the NFL in 2016, Ngakoue has the 12th-most sacks in the NFL (37.5). Ngakoue is currently on the franchise tag by the Jaguars and would like to be traded sooner rather than later. It doesn’t appear Jacksonville has any interest in giving him a long-term deal, and after selecting Josh Allen and K’Lavon Chaisson in back to back drafts, it looks like they are prepared to move on.

What will it take for the Raiders to acquire Ngakoue? Undoubtedly, the Jaguars will be searching for a first-round pick. But would they be willing to move him for a second-round choice and some other picks next season? Maybe.

Adding a player of Ngakoue’s caliber to the defense would only help out players like Maxx Crosby and Clelin Ferrell. He would instantly improve their pass rush and give them one of the better pass rushes in the NFL.
