2025 NFL Draft Trade Winds: Top 10 Players Most Likely to Switch Teams

HM: CB JuJu Brents, Indianapolis Colts

JuJu Brents was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the second round a few years back, but many argued the corner could have been a first-round talent. The Kansas State product has good size and speed, and he's an underrated tackler. However, he's struggled to stay on the field for the Colts, and with the team's change at Defensive Coordinator, Indy may be looking to move on from the young talent in efforts to acquire additional draft picks.

2) TE Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles

Dallas Goedert has been among the top names rumored to be available heading into the NFL Draft. The versatile tight end has been a reliable pass catcher for the Philadelphia Eagles over the last few seasons, but recent buzz suggests the two sides could be headed towards a breakup. With multiple teams hoping to land a tight end in this draft class, Goedert could be the next-best option if they miss out.

3) EDGE Trey Hendrickson, Cincinnati Bengals

Trey Hendrickson has been one of the most dominant pass rushers in the league, totaling 17.5 sacks in each of his last two seasons. As the Cincinnati Bengals continue to navigate a crucial offseason for the franchise, the team granted his wish to seek a trade earlier in the offseason. At one point, it seemed the Bengals could keep the defender around. However, recent comments about his frustration on the Pat McAfee Show make it sound like Hendrickson could have played his last snap in Cincy. A move on draft night makes the most sense.

4) TE Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens

Mark Andrews, at one time, was considered one of the best tight ends in the game, but following his injury in 2023, the Oklahoma product has looked like he's lost a step. In 2024, Andrews ended the year with 673 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns, but his backup, Isaiah Likely, saw an increase in usage as he continued to turn heads. Following Andrews's drop in the playoffs, which ultimately cost the Baltimore Ravens a chance at the Super Bowl, the bad taste in Ravens fans' mouths may be the final memory they have of him. There's no doubt that if he's made available, teams will be interested.

5) QB Kirk Cousins, Atlanta Falcons

Kirk Cousins signed with the Atlanta Falcons in the offseason, but it didn't stop the team from drafting his future replacement with the No. 8 overall pick in the NFL Draft a month later. Furthermore, it took no time for the NFC South squad to pivot to rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. after the veteran gunslinger's struggles hindered the team more than they helped them. Any deal involving a lucrative contract will be difficult, but the Falcons now seem more willing to move on from the QB than they were earlier in the offseason.

6) WR AJ Brown, Philadelphia Eagles

AJ Brown may not be a player everyone expects to be moved this offseason, but he wasn't expected to be dealt on draft night when the Eagles heisted the Tennessee Titans. The star wideout has been flirting with the idea of rejoining his former coach, Mike Vrabel, on the New England Patriots. With recent rumors that Howie Roseman could be willing to part with the receiver if a player they love falls to the Pats at No. 4 overall, this situation is worth monitoring.

7) WR George Pickens, Pittsburgh Steelers

George Pickens is a name that is picking up steam on the trade market and leading into the NFL Draft. The Pittsburgh Steelers moved to acquire DK Metcalf earlier this season, which alone could be enough of a driving factor to move off the former second-round pick. According to insider Jordan Schultz, Pickens is reportedly "more available than people think." Keep an eye on Pickens to be moved entering the final year of his rookie contract.

8) EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux, New York Giants

The New York Giants selected Kayvon Thibodeaux with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. The Oregon standout has shown flashes of his ability to rush the passer, but nowhere near the level the team hoped he could when they selected him. At this point, the Giants must do everything they can to land a quarterback. Still, with the opportunity to draft Abdul Carter presenting itself at No. 3, all signs point to Thibodeaux being dangled in any potential deal to move up.

9) TE Michael Mayer, Las Vegas Raiders

Michael Mayer was selected as a top tight end in his respective draft class, and many thought he could be the TE of the future for the Las Vegas Raiders. However, when Brock Bowers fell into their lap in last year's NFL Draft, it was a no-brainer to select the former Georgia star. After a huge rookie season, it's clear Mayer's time with the Raiders is approaching an end. Keep an eye on the Notre Dame product to be moved on draft night.

10) RB Rachaad White, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

Rachaad White quickly impressed after joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last season, the receiving back was a part of a two-headed monster in Tampa's backfield, but it wasn't by choice. The Bucs selected Bucky Irving in last year's NFL Draft, and the Oregon alum quickly became a key piece to the offense, rushing for over 1,000 yards. White could be a running back that the team is inquiring about, and the Buccaneers are willing to move off of.

HM: CB JuJu Brents, Indianapolis Colts

JuJu Brents was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the second round a few years back, but many argued the corner could have been a first-round talent. The Kansas State product has good size and speed, and he's an underrated tackler. However, he's struggled to stay on the field for the Colts, and with the team's change at Defensive Coordinator, Indy may be looking to move on from the young talent in efforts to acquire additional draft picks.
