Maxx Crosby, Bryce Young headline 10 potential NFL trades we’d like to see

We know that Tuesday, Nov. 5, is a hugely important day in America.

Obviously, it’s the NFL trade deadline, and football fans got a sneak preview of what could be ahead with a flurry of moves this week, most notably Davante Adams going to the Jets and Amari Cooper to the Bills.

Bryce Young, QB, Panthers

Would they really cut bait and move on from a No. 1 overall pick? The Panthers have been a different team since they switched to Andy Dalton, and if they’re sticking with the veteran quarterback, it’s probably…
