July is the final part of the offseason, often when most of the big rumors stop swirling in the NFL. However, teams often find they need to address one more area of the team, or that they have a player or two they can still get some value out of.

You don’t often see big trades in the NFL because of how tough it is for players to come in and adapt quickly to a new playbook, new teammates, new coaches, etc. But that doesn’t mean they never happen and some positions are easier to transition to than others when changing teams.

There are always at least a couple of trades throughout training camp and the pre-season, and here are five names I think could be on the move. These aren’t necessarily guys that are on the chopping block (though some are, and have been) but also players that could be attractive to other teams for upside or depth purposes.

The list could be longer than five players, but we’ll focus in on just a few for now…
