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?


Report: Jets want more than a second-round pick for Quinnen Williams

With the 2020 NFL Trade Deadline looming, it’s going to take more than a second-round pick for the Jets to move Quinnen Williams.

More than a few teams have inquired about Quinnen Williams’s availability, but it will take more than a second-round pick for the Jets to part with him before the trade deadline, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

The Jets have yet to receive any serious offers for Williams, per a prior report from The Athletic’s Connor Hughes. That doesn’t mean teams haven’t shown interest in the former No. 3 overall pick, but the Jets will want a haul to move him in-season. While Hughes reported that the Jets would “probably” take a second-round pick for Williams, it doesn’t seem like New York is inclined to move the second-year defensive end unless it’s getting back a substantial package of picks.

With the trade deadline looming, the Jets seem increasingly unlikely to trade their former first-round pick. However, Joe Douglas has always been willing to listen to offers and move players for the right price. With Steve McLendon and Jordan Willis already shipped out, it’s possible Williams is next.
