NFL team-building continues to evolve with general managers more attuned to all the possible avenues toward talent acquisition. The strategy of building through the draft while adding complementary pieces through free agency is somewhat outdated because it overlooks the possibility of pursuing trades.

Frank Clark made a crucial play to seal the Kansas City Chiefs' first Super Bowl victory in 50 years. General manager Brett Veach traded for him prior to last year's draft.

Numerous significant trades occurred last offseason. Odell Beckham Jr. became a member of the Cleveland Browns. The Chiefs sent Dee Ford to the San Francisco 49ers. Even a transaction like Ryan Tannehill to the Tennessee Titans, which wasn't viewed as a big deal at the time, created a profound ripple effect throughout the entire league.

In total, 21 player trades occurred prior to the start of the 2019 regular season.

The following proposed trades are considered ideal situations for each individual team while trying to remain semi-realistic. So, no, your favorite team won't be trading for Patrick Mahomes. Instead, the players mentioned have previously been on the trade block, look to be potential cap casualties or are veterans with bloated contracts their current organizations might want to move.
