4 potential trade deadline moves for the Cardinals

With the trade deadline approaching, the Cardinals could be in the mix for some high-profile players.

The NFL trade deadline is upon us — a time where struggling teams ship off pricy veterans and contending teams look to find that missing piece for a championship run.

The Arizona Cardinals have already made a trade, acquiring OLB Markus Golden from the New York Giants. Golden’s return to the valley has been welcomed with open arms by the fanbase. His presence should bolster a Cardinal defense that is already seventh in the NFL in sacks.

The Cardinals, however, may not be done acquiring talent. Our own Chuck Harris reported the Cardinals may be looking into a big name trade prior to the deadline.

I don’t have the Cardinals giving up their first-round pick in any of these trades given their circumstances of each player, as well as their evident need for cheap talent next year.

So, what players make sense for the Cardinals to bolster their playoff hopes?

Yes, you read that headline correctly.

During his radio show today FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd reacted to the Houston Texans firing Head Coach and General Manager Bill O’Brien. His fix for the 0-4 team? Trading Badger legend and future member of the NFL Hall of Fame J.J. Watt.

When you listen to his reasoning it actually makes some sense, as the Texans have dug themselves a deep hole with bad contracts, bad trades and more and now don’t have a first round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.

But the fact they’ve gotten to the point that trading Watt is being suggested by radio hosts is hard to believe, as the former Badger is in his No. 10 year with the team, is a five-time Pro Bowler, five-time First Team All-Pro and has recorded an unbelievable 98 sacks, 23 forced fumbles, 492 total tackles and 270 quarterback hits.

It’ll be interesting to see what Houston does going forward, but were they to trade the Badger legend it would be extremely odd to see him in another uniform.
