Trades wed love to see happen this offseason

This has been the offseason of trades. After , , and were all dealt in March, nothing should surprise us in the lead up to the . We aren't saying that the six trade proposals below are particularly likely. Some of them read more like fan fiction, but in a new NFL world where big names routinely get dealt, these are trades we'd love to see in the coming weeks. Adrian Peterson to the CardinalsThe best running back of his generation . Agent Ben Dogra has , and the are aware of Peterson's "" feelings toward the organization.If Peterson wins with general manager Rick Spielman, Arizona makes sense as a landing spot.In to pry open a window for the few productive years of 's career, the are reportedly for Peterson. Let's make it happen. -- Chris We selingMichael and Martellus Bennett to the FalconsYes, this will take two separate trades and a few draft picks from Atlanta, but uniting the Bennett brothers under Dan Quinn would solve two of Laviska Shenault Jr. Jersey  the ' big needs. Let's first begin with Michael. Pete Carroll dismi sed that Bennett has asked for a trade, but multiple reports wants a new deal. Shipping Bennett for a second-day draft pick or two might be too enticing for John Schneider to pa s up. Bennett's value will never be higher and a landing spot will never be cushier than Atlanta. Bennett loves Quinn. Quinn desperately needs a pa s rusher with the versatility Bennett provides. It's a match that makes almost too much sense. Now let's ship Martellus to join his brother. The tight end would finally give Ryan a red-zone target he's been mi sing since Tony Gonzalez retired. Match Martellus with and and that is a pretty potent receiving group. The already cast aside one troublemaker for a low-round pick. John Fox and Ryan Pace could decide another di senter isn't worth their trouble. With the , Michael would be there to keep an eye on Martellus -- and we'd get another Atlanta reality show. -- Kevin PatraEagles trade up for Marcus MariotaChip Kelly has aggre sively re-made the ' roster in his vision this offseason. The coach hasn't been afraid to make bold moves, trading and and jettisoning several other franchise mainstays. Kelly is taking big chances, so why should we believe him when he in trading up for Marcus Mariota? is a former No. 1 overall pick with upside, but Mariota is the type of quarterback Kelly has coveted since moving to the NFL. Armed with Bradford and the 20th pick, I'd be surprised if Philadelphia doesn't go for it. And from a fan perspective, it's perfect: If Kelly really thinks he has all the answers, don't you want to see if he's actually right? -- Dan HanzusPhilip Rivers to the BrownsI know, I know. If Rivers winds up elsewhere in 2016 when his contract runs out, he wants to play in a Southern city, a comfortable low-key town to raise his seven children in. He'd preferably like to play for a contender with plenty of weapons on offense. Likely a team grounded on stable soil.The are none of those things, but this is about trades we'd like to see, not ones we expect to see.From another angle, the would be the perfect spot for Rivers: Good young defense, a strong offensive line and an up-and-coming coach in Mike Pettine. The are so desperate for a quarterback, they would start a proposal for Rivers with their two first-round picks and then add more on top of that. San Diego is bound to make a killing off Cleveland if a trade went down, so everybody wins.Here's something else: Rivers would have the chance to finish his NFL career as a hero. If he ever tugged the into the promised land, he'd become a legend in that championship-starved city. He'd eat free steak for the rest of time and drink the finest of wines. His seven children would be adorned in gold-laced clothing until the end of days.Or he could just go to the . -- Marc Se slerDrew Brees to the BillsRex Ryan has never been able to pair his defense with a sure-fire franchise quarterback. With all of rumors circulating, wouldn't it be incredible if one was true, and the future r was shipped up to Buffalo with , and ? in New Orleans is old hat now, especially with the re-tooling around a more run-heavy offense. Perhaps a trade haul where the give up defensive talent and their entire 2016 draft in homage of the Ricky Williams heist gets it done. Let's get Brees in a place where he can let it rip on a consistent basis! -- Conor OrrTavon Austin to the EaglesWe know Chip Kelly is not afraid to make bold moves with draft picks moving away. We know the have no idea how to use . We know these two squads aren't afraid to make a deal. No coach is better at getting the primary receiver open than Chip Kelly, and Austin would be a perfect "space" player in the ' offense who could make plays after the catch. -- Gregg RosenthalThe latest Podcast and discu ses which star players were helped (and hurt) by free agency.
