The Arizona Cardinals should look to trade for some high upside players that are possibly on the trade block.

With the Arizona Cardinals adding depth and filling needs across the depth chart in free agency, fewer roster holes exist than they entered the free agency period with. In the draft, they will surely look to fill the remaining ones. But, don’t count Steve Keim out in the trade market. He hasn’t been afraid of adding talented veterans through trades in the past, and he should be afraid to do so now.

Currently, three of the Cardinals most obvious needs include offensive line, wide receiver, and defensive line. Both the wide receiver and defensive line could be added to in the trade market, but adding talented offensive linemen could be tough due to the league-wide need for them. Most teams simply aren’t willing to part ways with above-average starters on the line due to the lack of offensive line talent entering the league.

With all that being said, let’s get into some trade candidates. While none of these players are superstars, they should be available for a reasonable price. Due to the quality of the Cardinals’ 2019 draft picks, I doubt that Keim would be willing to part ways with any picks in the top three rounds unless a star is in the mix. Now, let’s get to trading.
