In a shocking prelude to the 2025 NFL Draft, trade buzz is reaching a fever pitch as several star players find themselves on the trading block. Senior NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler has revealed a list of potential trade candidates that could shake up the league ahead of draft day.

Leading the pack is Jalen Ramsey, the star cornerback for the Miami Dolphins. Despite a hefty $21 million guaranteed for 2025 making him a tough sell, teams are expected to circle back as the draft approaches. The Dolphins, holding the 13th overall pick, may look to reshape their defensive lineup, making Ramsey’s situation one to watch closely.

Meanwhile, Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is in a precarious position. With a staggering $16.9 million cap hit looming, the team has been non-committal about his future, leaving the door open for potential trades, especially with teams like the Indianapolis Colts showing interest in tight ends.

In Cincinnati, defensive end Trey Hendrickson finds himself at a contractual stalemate with the Bengals as both sides remain far apart on negotiations. Cincinnati’s 17th pick could spur urgency for a deal, especially if they eye a new edge rusher in the draft, complicating Hendrickson’s future even further.

Lastly, Kirk Cousins continues to be a topic of speculation as the Atlanta Falcons weigh their options. With a hefty $40 million cap hit, the Falcons are reluctant to part ways without a compelling offer, but as the draft nears, the landscape could shift dramatically.

As the countdown to the NFL Draft ticks down, fans and analysts alike will be glued to their screens, waiting to see if these marquee names will change teams in a whirlwind of last-minute trades. The clock is ticking, and the stakes have never been higher!
