NFL Notes: Trades, Cardinals, Eagles, Lions

Trades

Adam Schefter of ESPN offers some trade ideas that he believes would make sense before next week’s trade deadline.

The trades suggested by Schefter include:

1. Steelers trade WR Martavis Bryant to the Bears for a fifth-round pick.
2. Vikings trade QB Teddy Bridgewater to the Cardinals for a conditional mid-round pick.
3. Bills trade DT Marcell Dareus to the Cowboys for a fifth-round pick.
4. Dolphins trade WR Jarvis Landry to the Jaguars for a second-round pick.
5. Texans trade LT Duane Brown to the Seahawks for a second-round pick.
6. Cardinals trade WR John Brown to the Bills for a fifth-round pick.
7. Jets trade RB Matt Forte to the Ravens for a fifth-round pick.

Cardinals

Eagles

• Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports mentions that Eagles DC Jim Schwartz could end up being the hottest head coaching candidate in 2018.
• La Canfora points out that Schwartz has done a great job with the Bills and Eagles’ defensive units the past few years and he could end up having “his pick of jobs” next year.
