Multiple NFL Veterans Officially on Trade Block Entering August

As NFL teams prepare for the upcoming season, several notable players have been placed on the trade block as franchises seek to optimize their rosters and cap space. The Atlanta Falcons could trade veteran defensive lineman David Onyemata, who despite strong performance, carries a significant cap hit and is expendable due to the team's investment in younger pass rushers. The San Francisco 49ers' starting slot receiver Jauan Jennings has voluntarily put himself on the trade block amid contract disputes and the team’s financial constraints, especially following Brock Purdy’s costly contract extension and earlier missteps with Brandon Aiyuk's deal. The New England Patriots are likely to move on from Antonio Gibson, who faces increased competition from rookie TreVeyon Henderson, as the team embraces a culture of accountability under coach Mike Vrabel. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs might consider trading Felix Anudike-Uzomah, a young defensive player who has yet to meet expectations, to seek upgrades for a team focused on maintaining its competitive edge. Lastly, the Detroit Lions could look to trade backup running back Craig Reynolds to improve depth elsewhere, as their primary rushing duo provides stability and limits Reynolds' utilization despite his solid performance.
