Four Players that Could be Traded this Training Camp

Author- Peter DiPaola

Teddy Bridgwater

Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is entering his fifth NFL season in 2018, and with veteran Josh McCown sticking around for another season in New York, and Jets 2018 first round pick Sam Darnold on the roster, Teddy could be the odd man out. Teddy Bridgewater might not cost much for a team looking for depth or even a starter. It would benefit the Jets to move him to help acquire more draft picks, they do not have a second round pick in the 2019 draft due to moving up from the 6th pick to the 3rd pick in this years draft (traded up to the Colts pick). 

Mike Gillislee

Mike Gillislee played in 9 games for the Patriots last season, scoring 5 touchdowns, however 3 of those came in week 1. Following the Patriots 8th game of the season, he did not see the field again until their 15th game of the year, on December 24th. With the new additions in 2018 first round pick Sony Michel and Jeremy Hill, Gillislee could be on the outside looking in at a crowded backfield in New England. If a team is looking for a running back, Gillislee could a cheap option, and New England can add more draft stock. 

Paxton Lynch

Paxton Lynch was picked in the first round of the 2016 draft by the Denver Broncos, in his two seasons in Denver he has played in 5 games (starting 4 of those) and has thrown 4 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. The numbers and sparse play time is not good for a player picked in the first round, and with Case Keenum in town, Lynch's days in a Bronco uniform could be numbered.

Tevin Coleman

Tevin is entering his 4th year in the NFL, Atlanta's starting running back, Devonta Freeman, is signed through 2022, and Coleman could find a fair market after this upcoming season is up. Atlanta might not want to resign Coleman come the offseason if he could find higher offers elsewhere, because matching offers could mean they are paying two running backs a good chunk of change. Atlanta could find a trading partner during training camp, and pull the trigger to ship him off in order to gain compensation in picks or players over losing him in free agency, or having to use the franchise tag on him, and hope to resign him or trade him next offseason.
