2. Isaiah Wynn, New England Patriots

On Monday, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported that the Patriots have been talking to teams about trading offensive tackle Isaiah Wynn. Wynn has struggled with injuries throughout his career, but he has been solid when he is on the field.

Wynn was a first-round pick for the Patriots in the 2018 NFL Draft, and he has played to that level thus far. He played the most games in a season this past season but did struggle with penalties. He graded well by PFF’s standards in both run blocking and pass blocking this year, and is looking to continue to build off that.

The Patriots picked up Wynn’s fifth-year option after the 2021 season, but it appears they’re looking to move him while he still has value. It’s unclear what it would take to gain the services of the lineman in terms of trade pieces, but it would certainly be worth kicking the tires on the 26-year-old.
