Trade Partner(s): Kansas City Chiefs or New Orleans Saints

These trades would be the most unlikely of the bunch, mainly due to the potential trade partners.

The Miami Dolphins have already done widely-publicized business with the Chiefs this off season, and the vision and direction for the receiving corps in Kansas City is unknown. The Saints have a full depth chart, but it is ridden with unproven players and injury history/concerns. The issue with New Orleans would be the salary cap, which they have proven doesn’t matter as much as we think. (For the sake of using just one graphic, we will go with the New Orleans example for this one)

Both teams could use a veteran pass catcher, and they could be willing to move down to do so. The Saints may be most inclined to do so, given that they hold the 98th selection as well. For the Dolphins, they would move a fifth round pick in to a late third, and give them back to back picks with 102 and either 101 or 103.
