Offer: Anthony Miller and 2022 second-round pick for Saints CB Marshon Lattimore
Marshon Lattimore is entering his final year with the New Orleans Saints in 2021 and is unlikely to re-sign. Chicago will need to offer more than a single draft pick for the big man. Anthony Miller will give the Saints another target for an offense with a brand new look at quarterback.
The Bears also lost their top cornerback, Kyle Fuller, because of salary cap issues this NFL offseason. Lattimore would be the best cornerback on the Bears' roster once he steps into the locker room.
If New Orleans wants to receive something for Marshon Lattimore, this deal would be great for both sides.
Detroit Lions
Offer: 2022 second-round pick, 2023 second-round pick for Dolphins WR Devante Parker
Detroit lost its top two targets from the 2020 NFL season in Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones. When the Lions traded Matthew Stafford to Los Angeles for Jared Goff, they knew that priority number one was protecting him.
The Lions secured their number one priority by drafting Penei Sewell in the 2021 NFL Draft. It's time for the Lions to take care of priority number two after acquiring Goff, which is finding more weapons to replace what they lost in Golladay and Jones.
Devante Parker doesn't fully recover what the Lions lost, but it does get them heading in the right direction with the NFL season around the corner.
Green Bay Packers
Offer: 2022 third-round pick for Bills WR Cole Beasley
Cole Beasley has caused a stir in recent weeks over his stance on receiving the vaccine. Since Buffalo is aiming to win a Super Bowl, the franchise cannot afford any distractions in that effort.
Green Bay wants Aaron Rodgers back, but he's still a holdout. Adding Cole Beasley could be a step towards reconciliation. Cole Beasley isn't Julio Jones, Odell Beckham Jr., or Michael Thomas, but he's a reliable NFL wideout.
Minnesota Vikings
Offer: Danielle Hunter for 2022 second-round pick, 2023 second-round pick, and Saints WR Tre'Quan Smith
Danielle Hunter and the Minnesota Vikings don't have the healthiest relationship at the moment.
New Orleans lost some firepower this offseason with Drew Brees retiring and Trey Hendricks signing with the Bengals. Hendricks leaving New Orleans leaves the Saints with a void to fill in their pass rush.
Danielle Hunter not only fills that void but upgrades the New Orleans Saints' pass rush heading into the 2021 NFL season.
