NFL trade rumors: Khalil Mack, Shane Ray, Earl Thomas ideas

As NFL trade rumors continue swirling with the regular season just over a week away, where might some big name talents get moved to?

Perhaps the biggest name thought to be available ahead of the NFL’s regular season and the center of the biggest NFL trade rumors is Oakland Raiders defensive end, Khalil Mack.

Mack is one of the premier edge defenders in the NFL but hasn’t reported to Oakland yet and while Jon Gruden has to understand the impact Mack has on games, he’s also been seemingly very old school this offseason.

Would Gruden actually trade Mack?

Would Reggie McKenzie even allow it?

There are other names around the NFL that have a decent chance of getting moved, including Seattle Seahawks star safety Earl Thomas.

Thomas is one of the only members of the original Legion of Boom still standing in Seattle.

Similar to the situation with Mack in Oakland, however, would Jon Schneider and Pete Carroll take the rebuild as far as trading away the best defensive player on the team?

Everyone has a price.

The Denver Broncos are another team that could be looking to get some value from a defensive player and former first-round draft pick.

Former first-rounder Shane Ray is in a contract year and the Broncos are loaded off the edge.

Will Ray be dealt before the start of the season so the Broncos can get some value for him?

Let’s take a look at some of these big NFL trade rumors and what destinations are sensible for these players.
