Trade Candidates Across the League
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson is a prime trade candidate after the team drafted Jeremiyah Love and quarterback Carson Beck.
Veteran James Conner also took a pay cut to remain, pushing Benson down the depth chart following a season where he missed 13 games.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette faces uncertainty after the team drafted speedster Chris Brazzell.
With Jalen Coker signing an extension and Tetairoa McMillan returning, head coach Dave Canales may entertain trade offers for Legette during camp.
