NFL Trade Rumors: 5 players that need to be traded

1. Alshon Jeffery

The Chicago Bears might lose wide receiver Alshon Jeffery after this season unless they trade him. It would be terrible to lose him for nothing, so the Bears should trade him. If Jeffery is on the trade market, he makes so much sense for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Not only is Jeffery a better receiver than Torrey Smith, he’s also a much better short-term option. Smith has multiple years left on his deal after this year while Jeffery will be a free agent after this season. Jeffery has flourished with the Bears despite having mediocre quarterbacks.

Because Jeffery is so much better than Smith, he’ll also likely command a larger price tag. Smith could be had for a mid-to-late-round pick while the Bears receiver will command at least a second round pick and potentially a first rounder.

Potential fits: The Eagles aren’t the only great fit for Jeffery. Expect the Seattle Seahawks to go after him as well. They’re a team that has always been aggressive in trades, so don’t be surprised if they find a way to pull it off. Jeffery makes sense for the Cincinnati Bengals for the same reasons he makes sense for the Eagles.
