AFL Trade Period Sees Multiple Teams Target Key Players

As NFL teams approach the 2025 roster cutdown deadline, several notable trades and player movements are shaping up across the league. The Jacksonville Jaguars missed out on wide receiver Devaughn Vele, who was traded to the New Orleans Saints, but are still exploring options like Alec Pierce and Jauan Jennings to bolster their receiver depth behind Trevor Lawrence. Meanwhile, the New York Giants face tough decisions trimming their 90-man roster to 53 players, with head coach Brian Daboll emphasizing the difficulty of the process and the commitment shown by players. The Arizona Cardinals have yet to make cutdown trades but could move players such as Josh Jones or others to gain late-round draft picks, seeking roster flexibility amid a rebuilt linebacker corps. In Australian Football League news, the Fremantle Dockers and GWS Giants are actively targeting players like Marcus Windhager and others to strengthen their squads as they enter crucial phases of their respective seasons. These moves reflect a broader trend of teams strategically managing talent and depth through trades and contract negotiations ahead of key deadlines.
