NFL trade activity has reached a fever pitch leading into the upcoming draft, with 23 trades already completed since the start of the league year, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The total count includes the high-profile deal involving Dexter Lawrence, signaling a shift in how front offices are approaching roster construction this offseason. This volume marks a substantial increase in activity compared to the same period in the previous calendar year, highlighting a growing trend of aggressive movement across the league.
Per Schefter, from the start of the league year until the first night of the draft last year, there were only 15 trades recorded. The current tally of 23 represents a significant jump in transaction volume as teams prepare for the first round of the draft. This trend suggests that NFL franchises are becoming increasingly willing to move veteran assets and draft capital before the official selection process begins.
