With just 12 days left until the trade deadline arrives, the NFL has already witnessed some major moves. Stars like Amari Cooper, DeAndre Hopkins, and Davante Adams have switched teams, shaking up the league. But the buzz around the league suggests that there may be more deals in the pipeline.
One team that could be a focus for trade discussions is the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars are struggling at 2-5, and with Cam Robinson’s contract expiring this year, he could be a target for teams looking to bolster their offensive line. Robinson is a solid starter who could provide immediate help to a team in need. His potential trade could also shed light on the inner workings of the Jaguars organization and their plans for the future.
Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers have a couple of young players who could be on the move. Wide receiver Jonathan Mingo and cornerback Jaycee Horn are both names to watch as the trade deadline approaches. Mingo, a 2023 second-round pick, has fallen out of favor in Carolina and could benefit from a change of scenery. Horn, a former top-10 pick, offers talent and versatility that could appeal to playoff-contending teams in need of secondary help.
The Detroit Lions are also a team to keep an eye on as the deadline approaches. Head coach Dan Campbell and GM Brad Holmes may look to make a move to support rising star Aidan Hutchinson. The Lions’ approach to the deadline could be a chance for the front office to assert itself and continue building the team’s foundation for the future.
As speculation swirls around potential trades, one thing is clear: the trade deadline could see more big names on the move. Teams like the Carolina Panthers may field calls on players like Adam Thielen, Diontae Johnson, and Kalif Raymond, while pass rushers like Jadeveon Clowney, Za’Darius Smith, and Preston Smith could also be dangled as trade bait. The next 12 days are sure to be filled with excitement as teams look to make moves to bolster their rosters for the second half of the season.
