Roster cuts loom next week, and this time of year always sparks some trade activity. In this issue:

This time of year is one of the times on the NFL calendar when trade activity spikes. Teams have had a chance to see their players in action, and the combination of competition and injuries creates holes that need a little extra creativity to fill. There’s not always a big splashy move, but there’s always a wave of smaller swaps. 

Already we’ve seen the Eagles swap WR JJ Arcega-Whiteside for Seahawks DB Ugo Amadi, then turn right around and trade Amadi to the Titans to upgrade a 2024 seventh to a sixth. The Vikings traded a conditional seventh-round pick to the Raiders for Nick Mullens and a shot to upgrade at backup quarterback. Former Bills OL Cody Ford was unable to hold down a starting job in Buffalo, but he’ll have a fresh start in Arizona while the Bills salvage a fifth-round pick.

We can do the same thing from our vantage point. Here’s an estimation, position by position, of the NFL trade block this time of year:
