Ten NFL players who could be traded this offseason

1. Brandon Marshall, wide receiver, New York Jets

It’s not a secret that Marshall’s future with the Jets is up in the air. Along with the rest of the team, the veteran is coming off a disappointing 2016 performance. He put up just 59 receptions for 788 yards and three touchdowns en route to his worst statistical outing since his rookie season.

Marshall, 32, is also set to count $7.5 million against the cap in 2017. It’s not a tremendously high number for someone of his ilk, but it sure doesn’t mesh well with what we saw from the declining receiver last season. Despite this, Marshall considers himself underpaid by the Jets. Just imagine how that whole thing is playing out within New York’s front office.

While there’s definitely a scenario in play here that suggests the Jets will release Marshall outright, look for an attempt by the team to get something in return. One year removed from a 1,500-yard, 14-touchdown performance, there could be some interest. That’s only magnified by the above-mentioned cap hit for 2017.
