13. Saquon Barkley (RB) Giants

Anybody in the NFL would love to land a player of Barkley's talent even if some would never acknowledge it publicly. Yes, that includes the Ravens this season, let alone with their own RB1 out for the year.

Barkley is playing his age-26 season after being the No. 2 overall pick of the 2018 draft. Now, of course, it doesn't look like Barkley nor the New York Giants are willing to move on from each other and separate their futures, if only for the near term after Saquon signed a one-year extension earlier this year.

"Not only has Barkley indicated that he doesn’t want to be traded, but there have been numerous reports that the 2-5 Giants have no plans to move the pending free agent," Zrebiec reminded his readers.

There is a chance Baltimore ends up trading for Barkley (imagine the scenario for a minute) and he ends up leaving the city next spring without an extension signed, turning him into an awful rental.

Of course, championships last forever and that might be enough for the Ravens to go all-in in a potential trade for the running back. Are the Giants sure all they need right now is to keep the running back in tow and potentially hand him a hefty extension?
