The 1 Trade Each NFL Team Should Make in 2019

Bolstering this offensive line via trade should be a priority despite having only $17.4 million in cap space.The Cleveland Browns could prove to be a valuable partner in a deal here. The soon-to-be 29-year-old is expensive and is sitting in front of 2018 second-round pick Austin Corbett.On paper, the Browns would be foolish to move Zeitler since they're already flush with cap space. They may lose free-agent safety Adrian Amos because of those cap constraints.They'd be wise to deal another veteran for a draft pick to free space as they try to build a sustainable winner.Running back Jordan Howard fetched an offer of a third-round pick at the October trade deadline, per David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune. But he's also on a Hall of Fame pace, on a set long-term contract and has played with a mediocre quarterback for years.If the New York Giants make the mistake of trading Beckham, the Cleveland Browns would be a tremendous landing spot. Unfortunately, that means trading stalwart linebacker Sean Lee.Lee will count as $10 million against the cap this year and carries a $3.1 million dead-cap number in a trade. Elway must make a Keenum trade work to avoid allocating more than $30 million in cap space to a quarterback room that lacks a long-term plan. Carr will turn 33 in May but has been durable and reliable because of his technique and 6'0", 210-pound frame.He'd be well worth a late-round pick and serve as a bridge starter for the Lions.It's not surprising the New York Giants are considering trading pass-rusher Olivier Vernon three years into his career with the franchise, as NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported. Though Vernon won't become Khalil Mack, he'd be a boost for a Packers defense that needs to create more pressure.With $34.5 million in cap room and the ability to find more, the Packers could justify moving a third-round pick or more for Vernon as part of their roster revamp. The 30-year-old can still play well enough, but his $14.75 million cap hit is an albatross for a team that's hurting for cap space and needs to address holes all over the roster. Sitting with $74 million in cap space and a dire need for stability at the position, they can justify moving middle-round picks for Jenkins. At best, the Colts would only get a 2020 third-round compensatory pick if Brissett leaves next offseason.Getting another Day 2 draft pick could allow Indy to chase a valued asset on the trade market, such as Beckham, Antonio Brown or a star pass-rusher. Trading him would open about $5 million in space.The 5'8", 180-pounder is still only 27 years old and is a capable starter. Trading him to Houston, Indianapolis, Detroit or Green Bay for a middle-round pick could give both teams exactly what they need.The Minnesota Vikings could swap cornerback Trae Waynes for Oakland Raiders guard Kelechi Osemele in a rare player-for-player swap that would work wonders for both the individuals and teams involved.For Minnesota, this would use one roster strength to address a major weakness. His $6.3 million salary would need to be reduced, but Washington should be a willing trade partner, as it needs to slash several high-priced veterans anyway.The New Orleans Saints tried to reinforce their playmaking depth by signing receiver Cameron Meredith last offseason. Though the Jets don't have a second-rounder because of their trade up for Sam Darnold, they could acquire one via a trade down from the No. 3 overall pick.Ford is a better fit for a stand-up role than a 4-3 end, and the Jets badly need to find edge-rushers after they ignored the position over the last few years. A late-round pick and a restructured contract would be ideal.Able to take advantage of cap-strapped teams needing to open room, the San Francisco 49ers could easily justify adding another explosive playmaker to their offense. We already have the Buccaneers trading DeSean Jackson, and the 49ers are a natural landing spot.With more than $68 million in cap space, general manager John Lynch can pursue immediate help. The 32-year-old Jackson makes more sense as a trade candidate—even though he's a fantastic big-play threat—because of his age, injury history and $10 million salary. Instead of spending on another veteran quarterback, which must be an option considering that Jay Gruden needs to win sooner than later, trading for a talented quarterback on a cheap deal makes more sense.
