Inglewood, CA — As the 2025 offseason progresses, the league continues to see a flurry of trades that reshape rosters ahead of the draft. Here are the latest moves, with analysis and grades for each team involved.
Colts Trade Current Pick 53 Overall (R2P21) to Packers for TE Luke Musgrave and Current Pick 113 Overall (R4P17)
Colts: A+
The Colts made a big move by acquiring Luke Musgrave, a 24-year-old tight end who had a productive season with the Packers (919 yards and 9 touchdowns on 55 catches). At 76 overall with star potential, Musgrave’s contract is affordable at less than $5 million over the next two years. While he’s not yet a refined route runner, his size, speed, and hands make him a major asset for Indianapolis, instantly upgrading their offensive weaponry. Coupled with the fourth-round pick they received, this is an excellent value for the Colts.
Packers: B-
Green Bay decided to move on from Musgrave, trading him and a fourth-round pick to the Colts for a second-rounder. While they get solid draft capital in return, it’s hard to overlook that Musgrave was developing into a key offensive piece. It’s not a terrible deal, but it feels like they might have sold on him too early, especially considering his upside and reasonable contract. They only move up two rounds, and don’t gain an additional pick.
Jets Trade DT Quinnen Williams and Current Pick 78 Overall (R3P14) to Falcons for TE Kyle Pitts and Next Year Pick 15 Overall (R1P15)
Jets: B
The Jets trade away Quinnen Williams, one of the most dominant defensive tackles in the league (95 overall) who wreaks havoc on both the run and pass game. While they lose an elite force, they gain a talented weapon in Kyle Pitts (84 overall). Pitts, at 24, is still a physical marvel who could thrive in a new system. He’s cheaper now, but the Jets will need to extend him next year. Additionally, they get a first-round pick in next year’s draft, giving them a really good shot to get a franchise quarterback if Atlanta sees a similar record. The Jets made a solid trade but losing Williams leaves a big hole in their defense.
Falcons: B
For Atlanta, landing Quinnen Williams is a massive win for their defense. He’s one of the best at his position, and while his contract will balloon over the next two seasons, the Falcons gain a game-changing presence up front. However, sending away Pitts along with a future first-round pick might sting long-term. The trade is understandable, but it carries risk on both ends. The Falcons’ trades aren’t bad but they are confusing considering their lack of offensive talent and extreme defensive talent.
Vikings Trade RT Brian O’Neill to Giants for Current Picks 85 Overall (R3P21), 181 Overall (R6P21), and 213 Overall (R7P21)
Vikings: A
Minnesota moves on from right tackle Brian O’Neill, an 86 overall player who’s owed $55 million over the next two seasons. While O’Neill is a dependable pass protector, the Vikings capitalized on his value, securing three current draft picks in return. This trade gives them cap relief and additional assets to address other needs in the draft.
Giants: C-
The Giants acquire a reliable right tackle in Brian O’Neill, but his hefty contract makes this a questionable move. While O’Neill is solid, he’s not a game-changer at his position, and surrendering three draft picks for him (including a third-rounder) feels like an overpayment. Unless O’Neill dramatically elevates the Giants’ offensive line, this trade may not be worth the cost, both draft capital and cap space.
Jets Trade WR Garrett Wilson to Seahawks for CB Devon Witherspoon
Jets: A
The Jets send off Garrett Wilson, a 25-year-old star wide receiver (86 overall) who had an impressive 2024 season (1,225 yards and 6 touchdowns). In return, they get Devon Witherspoon, a rising star at cornerback (86 overall), who is not only cheaper ($3.66 million over two years) but also fills a pressing need for a versatile, physical corner with Sauce Gardner gone. Witherspoon is a great fit for the Jets’ defense and a smart long-term investment. They have the draft capital to create a talented WR room.
Seahawks: B-
Seattle loses a promising young cornerback in Witherspoon but lands a top-tier wide receiver in Garrett Wilson. Wilson is a replacement for DK Metcalf, but he’s not nearly on the same level. While he should still thrive in Seattle’s offense, giving up a talented corner at a more affordable price may hurt the Seahawks’ defense moving forward.
Colts Trade WR Alec Pierce and Current Pick 181 Overall (R6P21) to Ravens for Current Pick 75 Overall (R3P11)
Colts: A
Indianapolis moves on from Alec Pierce, a 25-year-old receiver (76 overall) who had just 52 yards last season. They also send a late-round pick but receive a valuable third-rounder in return. Given Pierce’s limited production and the fact that his rookie contract is almost up, this is a savvy move by the Colts to gain higher draft capital.
Ravens: C-
Baltimore takes a chance on Alec Pierce, a player with potential but limited results so far. He’s a gamble, especially since they’re giving up a third-round pick for him. While Pierce could develop, the Ravens may have been better off using the pick to address the need, as it’s uncertain whether Pierce will become a meaningful contributor.
