4. Kyler Murray

In today’s NFL players deleting teams or posts off of their social media is often an alarm bell for their team. This was the case with Kyler Murray this past off-season before the sides appear to have worked it out and be headed into the season with Murray locked in as the starter. As long as he remains without a contract though Murray will be a possible trade option for Atlanta.

His ability to break runs out of nothing is almost as impressive as his rocket arm. Despite his size, Murray has one of the strongest arms in the league. Much like Lamar is Atlanta believes there is any chance Murray might be moved they should be willing to spend whatever it would take to bring Kyler to Atlanta.

Murray finished last season with 3,787 passing yards and 24 touchdowns in a year he only played 14-games. He continued to make an impact with his legs as well rushing for 423-yards and 5-touchdowns.

He wisely cut back on his rush attempts this past season using his legs sparingly. A trait he will need to continue to utilize to stay healthy considering his play style and the size he is playing at.
