The NFL‘s preseason action is underway, but there are still many players around the league who find themselves in trade rumors.
We recently identified one NFL player who could be traded on each team, and today, we specifically look at the most likely trade candidate for every club in the NFC East.
Top Trade Candidates in the NFC East this NFL Season
Dallas Cowboys: DeMarcus Lawrence, EDGE
While Micah Parsons is clearly a foundational piece on the edge for the Dallas Cowboys, DeMarcus Lawrence isn’t getting any younger and is heading into the final year of his three-year contract with the team.
Dallas could actually save $10 million by trading Lawrence, which would free up more snaps for the Cowboys’ young pass rushers. Dallas selected Marshawn Kneeland in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, potentially signaling the end of Lawrence’s tenure.
New York Giants: Azeez Ojulari, EDGE
The New York Giants have built quite an elite pass-rushing duo with Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns. However, that could mean Azeez Ojulari’s days in New York are coming to an end.
Ojulari has failed to find consistency with the Giants and could be traded during the final year of his rookie contract.

Philadelphia Eagles: James Bradberry, DB
There might not be a more obvious candidate on this list than Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry. After a tremendous performance in 2022, Bradberry was arguably one of the worst cornerbacks in the NFL last season.
Now the Eagles have added multiple cornerbacks this offseason, in both free agency and the 2024 NFL Draft. As a result, Bradberry has made the move to safety, but it sure seems like his days in Philadelphia are numbered.
Washington Commanders: Jonathan Allen, DL
The Washington Commanders are embracing a new coaching regime and a new franchise quarterback in 2024. Therefore, they could look to move on from one of the long-time starters on the defensive side of the ball.
Jonathan Allen’s current contract has two years remaining, and the Commanders could save over $32 million by trading him this season.
