The 2021 NFL offseason has already been largely defined by its trade market. Though this year brought a deep and talented draft class and plenty of big-name free agent signings, the football world may look back on it as the year of the trade.
Quarterbacks Sam Darnold, Carson Wentz, Jared Goff, Matthew Stafford and Teddy Bridgewater were all dealt early in the offseason. The San Francisco 49ers traded up to the No. 3 slot in the draft long before selection weekend, and future Hall of Fame receiver Julio Jones was dealt after it.
