Sauce Gardner just gave the green light to the Justin Jefferson trade. But at the same point, the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver is waiting on a contract extension from the team. He signed a four-year, $13.1M deal with the Vikings in 2020, and now the contract is nearing its end. With no news from Jefferson or the Vikings, there are rumors that the team won’t sign in.

But if the Vikings won’t sign Jefferson, who will? The thing is that Jefferson is not the only player in a contractual crunch right now. As the Bears eye Caleb Williams, Justin Fields is also a player who might find himself short of a home in the future. Similarly, there are others as well. Let’s look at the Top 5 trade speculations for 2024.

Davante Adams to New York Jets

After being one of the most disappointing teams of the 2023 season, the Jets have gained a couple of privileges for the price they paid. Their star QB, Aaron Rodgers, might find some comfort with Davante Adams as Rodgers gears up for the next season. Adams’ hefty deal with the Raiders might help the team save some cap money if they decide to trade him to the Jets. If this trade happens, the Raiders will receive a 2024 first-round pick.

The Houston Texans are one of the youngest teams in the NFL right now. Despite that, the rookie CJ Stroud led the team to playoffs but fell short of progressing further than that. Brandon Aiyuk going to the Texans will bolster the squad with a Super Bowl-experienced candidate and provide a reliable receiver to CJ Stroud.

Stefon Diggs to the Arizona Cardinals

It’s no mystery that Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs aren’t best friends. There have been complications with their relationships in the past. Also, Diggs doesn’t feel he is being utilized to his potential. This move will give Kyler Murray much-needed room for freedom because Diggs has vast potential.
