Which 10 big-name NFL players could be dealt?
pick. Miller is owed just shy of $25 million, none of it guaranteed, over the final two years of his current extension.
OLB Haason Reddick, Philadelphia Eagles
A first-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 2017 who was miscast as an off-ball linebacker, he’s essentially been playing for bargain rates across three teams since blossoming as a pass rusher in 2020 – collecting 50 sacks over the past four years.
There’s been smoke in recent weeks around Reddick, 29, who could make $16 million in the final year of his current pact – still pretty reasonable money for an elite pass rusher. Philly executive vice president/general manager Howie Roseman is rarely in the business of unloading superb players, but he also knows a good deal when he sees one – and might choose to let someone else pay Reddick top dollar.
CB L’Jarius Sneed, Kansas City Chiefs
Franchised by the champs after becoming a defensive mainstay during his four years in K.C., his camp has nevertheless been permitted to explore the trade market. Currently on the hook for a $19.8 million tag in 2024, the Chiefs may not have the financial bandwidth to pay Sneed, 27, and re-sign All-Pro DT Chris Jones without incurring serious roster ramifications elsewhere.
QB Zach Wilson, New York Jets
The No. 2 overall pick in 2021, he has been an unqualified disappointment and was (temporarily) replaced last year by Aaron Rodgers.
The four-time MVP’s Week 1 Achilles injury granted Wilson, 24, a third chance to distinguish himself … and he squandered it, despite being backed by solid offensive weaponry and an elite defense. GM Joe Douglas revealed at the combine that Wilson has been given permission to seek a trade, though hard to figure – given how slowly it appears Fields’ market is developing – why another team would give up much more than a low Day 3 choice for Wilson.
