Every trade and signing calls take
276–300 of 1,043
Jake Kubas to move — “perhaps traded”
perhaps an offensive lineman like center/guard Jake Kubas
Ben Sauls to move — “among the leading possibilities for a trade”
Among the leading possibilities for a trade are kicker Ben Sauls
Donovan Wilson to move to Seattle Seahawks
Things might be different now that Clark is injured, as Wilson could be his replacement.
Quandre Diggs to move to Seattle Seahawks
Diggs has gone unsigned for the entirety of training camp, but a return to the place where he had his best NFL success could be an option.
Darius Muasau to move — “perhaps traded”
and inside linebacker Darius Muasau
Darnell Mooney to move — “one of Slayton or Mooney traded”
one of receiver Darius Slayton or Darnell Mooney
Trey Benson to move — “won't be on the free agent market long; some team is going to take a shot on him”
While the Cardinals were inevitably going to move on from Benson, we don't expect him to be on the free agent market long. Some team is going to take a shot on him, and he could end up being an interesting investment.
Cornelius Lucas to move — “likely to sign with a competitor this season”
Cornelius Lucas — Another veteran who is likely to sign with a competitor this season.
Deshaun Watson to move to Cleveland Browns
He went with a 30-year-old who'll surely be an ex-Brown next season over a somewhat promising young quarterback, Shedeur Sanders.
Joey Porter Jr. to move to Pittsburgh Steelers
At this point, it's more likely that Porter remains in Pittsburgh through 2026.
Deshaun Watson to move to Cleveland Browns
Due to the way Watson's contract is structured, the Browns will almost certainly release him in March... the clause pretty much guarantees they will cut Watson by March 13, 2027
C.J. Stroud to move to Houston Texans
In all likelihood, the Texans will have to pay Stroud.
Andy Dalton to move to Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles just can't trust Dalton to play a football game against a first-team defense. They should look to move on.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. to move to New York Giants
With Tracy seemingly No. 4 on the Giants' RB depth chart, he could be released or traded
Kentavius Street to move to Chicago Bears
Kentavius Street and James Lynch appear to be the best bets to make the 53-man roster out of the remaining defensive linemen, but one of them will likely have to go. Knowing that, don't be surprised to see either one traded before cuts.
Kiran Amegadjie to move to Chicago Bears
That said, Amegadjie and Wills are far more likely to be moved than Jones and Benedet.
Jedrick Wills to move to Chicago Bears
That said, Amegadjie and Wills are far more likely to be moved than Jones and Benedet.
James Lynch to move to Chicago Bears
Kentavius Street and James Lynch appear to be the best bets to make the 53-man roster out of the remaining defensive linemen, but one of them will likely have to go. Knowing that, don't be surprised to see either one traded before cuts.
Terell Smith to move to Chicago Bears
The Bears have been ravaged by injuries in the secondary during the offseason, but Smith could still miss the cut, making him a trade candidate.
Deebo Samuel Sr. to move to San Francisco 49ers
Deebo Samuel has signed with the 49ers, likely in response to Ricky Pearsall's injury.
Darren Waller to move to Carolina Panthers
Darren Waller has signed with the Panthers.
Mitchell Trubisky to move to Seattle Seahawks
They'll probably let your bisky go because ain't no way, it ain't no team caring or down four quarterbacks.
Deshaun Watson to stay with Cleveland Browns
Otoe Listen, they're not gonna do that either. Oh we're gonna cut him and we're still on forty six million.
Deshaun Watson to move to Cleveland Browns
and and and and and Deshaun will probably end up getting released

Sedrick Van Pran-Granger to move to Los Angeles Chargers
With the Chargers' offensive line undergoing a shuffle, while also lacking depth along the interior of the unit, LA is a perfect candidate for Beane to direct a SVPG trade.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 23, 2026
