2. Jerry Hughes to the Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams are the best team in football. They look like a team that will not be stopped all season and will win the Super Bowl. And for that reason, they need to go out and make a move. One of their biggest weaknesses is that they do not have a very good outside pass rush. They have Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh in the middle, but they are lacking that solid guy on the outside.

The Buffalo Bills are terrible and they should be looking to move on from players that will not be with the team within the next year or two. Pass rusher Jerry Hughes would make a ton of sense for the Rams and he shouldn’t be too expensive.

L.A. is in win now mode and even though Hughes may not stay with the team long, adding him for their Super Bowl run in 2018 is important. The Rams would likely not have to give up much for Hughes and they’d be adding a playing that will help them win the big one this season. Hughes would be the third best pass rusher on that defensive line, making the Rams team even scarier.

1. Dallas Cowboys trade for a wide receiver

The Dallas Cowboys have surprised a lot of people this season, including myself. They have stuck around and lingered in the NFC East race and after their dominant win over the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, they proved they could be for real. Their only problem is that they arguably have the worst receiving core in the entire NFL.

For that reason, they need to be buyers before the NFL trade deadline for a receiver. They should have gone for Josh Gordon when the Cleveland Browns shopped him to the New England Patriots, but they missed out on that huge opportunity.

They need to make sure they do not miss out on any other opportunities to add a talent receiver to their room. Earlier in this article I mentioned the Raiders trading Cooper and that may be a great idea for the Cowboys. However, if they do not want to spend as much, the Miami Dolphins could shop DeVante Parker to them. That would be a good move for both teams, as the Dolphins could move on from him and the Cowboys could add a starting wide receiver.
