Brandin Cooks, WR, New Orleans Saints
ESPN and Yahoo have pegged Cooks as a breakout candidate and the former Oregon State wide receiver certainly has the skill but his incredible potential has yet to surface. Recent social media reports have hinted that the 23-year-old is growing especially frustrated with his role in the Saints’ offense. Besides everyone knows that New Orleans can easily succeed without a real No. 1 wide receiver therefore it is increasingly likely that the team could explore trade options, especially if Cook is unhappy. The Saints do have Cooks locked up for two more years (including his fifth-year option), meaning his trade value will be at an all-time high this coming offseason.

Jay Cutler, QB, Chicago Bears
Based on just physical talent, Jay Cutler is one of the top five quarterbacks in the NFL and no one can dispute that. But as most football fan knows, there’s a lot that goes into being a successful QB than just natural physical ability. We have watched Cutler flash glimpses of greatness but there have been too many instances where inconsistent play and dreadful displays of leadership follow. As the Bears continue to rebuild, they will most likely release Cutler this coming offseason and aquire a dead-money salary cap hit of $2 million, as most teams around the league will probably be unwilling to take on his current contract through a trade. Based on just his physical talent, Cutler will surely find a job with another franchise in 2017.
