With the NFL season less than a week away, teams will begin to make moves to put the best roster on the field come Week 1. The AFC North looks to be a dominant division for years to come as both the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals improved their teams to compete with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens.
Coming off a 14-2 record, the Ravens will look to contend for a Super Bowl, but will need greater post-season success before they can pull it off. Baltimore bolstered their roster earlier in the offseason trading for Calais Campbell and added some intriguing prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft.
The Steelers posted just a mere 8-8 record in 2019 despite having on the NFL’s top defenses. There was a real boost the defense experienced after trading for Minkah Fitzpatrick, but not having Ben Roethlisberger proved to be too much to overcome.
The Bengals will look to rebound from an NFL worst 2-14 record. The Joe Burrow era will officially begin in Cincinnati with the team’s matchup in Week 1 and it will mark the comeback of star wideout A.J. Green.
After much anticipation for the Browns entering last season, the team struggled en route to a 6-10 record. Cleveland will look to have a bounce-back campaign with Kevin Stefanski at head coach in favor of Freddie Kitchens. Let’s not forget, talent wasn’t really the issue, but they’ve had some injuries as of late.
With that, let’s take a look at one trade that each team should move before the NFL season begins.
