We’re getting closer to Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline and we’ve already seen a bunch of moves being made, including the trade of Christian McCaffrey to the 49ers, James Robinson to the Jets and Robert Quinn to the Eagles. As for what other moves could be made, FanNation is here to answer that question as best it can.
Who will be traded, and who should be traded? We have the answers below. Let the wheeling and dealing commence.
NFC WEST
ARIZONA CARDINALS
The trade: A.J. Green to the Packers
Terms: WR A.J. Green to the Packers for a seventh-round pick that can become a sixth-round selection based on incentives.
Why the deal makes sense: Simply put, the Cardinals have too many cooks in the kitchen when it comes to wideouts, especially when Marquise Brown returns from injury. The Packers have been reluctant to throw big money at receivers but have an obvious need for veteran guys with size for Aaron Rodgers to target down the field. Green Bay can snag a proven guy for a low price, Green gets his fresh start and the Cardinals find some sort of compensation with his departure. —
Fantasy Impact: Not sure if Green is the playmaker that could spark Aaron Rodgers’ return to MVP form but anyone with Rodgers as their fantasy QB will gladly take any boost they can get. Green is way past his prime but would rise from the depths of the fantasy waiver wire to a team’s WR3 in 12-team formats.
All Cardinals: Marco Wilson’s development paying dividends
