The news about the Dallas Cowboys wanting to move Michael Gallup has been talked about since last season. Gallup is a great addition for the Arizona Cardinals at the wide receiver position. He has been a great number two wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys and could do the same in Arizona.


3) Zach Ertz, TE, Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are cleaning house. They have traded Carson Wentz, and are releasing Alshon Jeffery on March 17th. This means Zach Ertz is most likely next on the list to be traded this off-season. The Arizona Cardinals could benefit from having Zach Ertz line up at tight end. He is a great pass catcher and can block in the run game; everything the Cardinals need from their future tight end.
