Cleveland Browns: 6 Trade targets as the deadline approaches
By Randy Gurzi
Gareon Conley, CB, Oakland Raiders
No team is selling more right now than the Oakland Raiders. They already unloaded defensive end Khalil Mack on the Chicago Bears — getting two first-round picks (but surrendering a second of their own for some reason). They also recently sent wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys for another day one pick.

Rumors are, they’re not done either. Names like Karl Joseph and Gareon Conley have been floated, with Conley seeming to make the most sense for the Browns. They’ve been solid at corner, but injuries have been mounting. Maybe adding a former Ohio State stud along with their own in Denzel Ward could help turn this back into one the biggest strengths on their roster.
Haason Reddick, LB, Arizona Cardinals
Another potential target could be Haason Reddick of the Arizona Cardinals. The No. 13 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft hasn’t lived up to expectations so far in the desert. As a rookie, he had just 36 tackles with 2.5 sacks. So far in 2018, he’s added another 26 tackles and two sacks.
He isn’t exactly a bust, but the Cardinals are also not using him as a full-time starter. Considering how bad things are getting in Arizona, it’s likely they would part ways with a guy like Reddick to help them rebuild. As for the Browns, they can sure use the depth in their linebacker corps.
