In 2024, he logged 1,461 snaps, 4 interceptions, and 11 pass breakups on defense alone and had 96 catches for 1,258 yards and 15 TDs on offense. His rare versatility prompted Browns GM <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/44716234\/browns-gm-says-travis-hunter-unicorn-due-versatility\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andrew Berry<\/a> to compare him to MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1826\" data-end=\"1927\">As a result, several teams are preparing to get aggressive and trade up for a shot at a top prospect.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"1934\" data-end=\"1984\">Teams Exploring 2025 NFL Draft Trade Scenarios<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"418\" data-end=\"435\"><strong>Chicago Bears<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"437\" data-end=\"886\">The Bears, currently holding the No. 10 pick, are exploring trade-up options to bolster their defense. Reports suggest they have their eyes on Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter, a top-tier talent who could significantly enhance their pass rush. With two second-round picks at their disposal, Chicago has the draft capital to make a move into the top 5 if necessary.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\" data-start=\"2264\" data-end=\"2285\">Denver Broncos<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2286\" data-end=\"2511\">Denver, currently picking 20th, has made calls to teams in the top 10. Ashton Jeanty is one potential target after a 2,600-yard, 29-touchdown season. The Broncos are among the most aggressive teams in this year&#8217;s draft cycle.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\" data-start=\"2513\" data-end=\"2533\">Buffalo Bills<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2534\" data-end=\"2730\">While they hold a late first-round pick, the Bills could surprise and move up. Whether it\u2019s a lockdown corner or a weapon for Josh Allen, Buffalo is a team to watch in the 2025 draft trade market.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\" data-start=\"2732\" data-end=\"2758\">San Francisco 49ers<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2759\" data-end=\"2944\">The 49ers are reportedly exploring a bold move back into the top 10. Though their target is unclear, they\u2019re believed to be looking at premier defenders or a long-term offensive tackle.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\" data-start=\"2946\" data-end=\"2967\">Houston Texans<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2968\" data-end=\"3295\">Among the hottest 2025 NFL Draft trade rumors involves the Texans. Sitting at No. 25, they\u2019re reportedly trying to move up for a high-end offensive lineman after trading Laremy Tunsil. According to Albert Breer, Houston could target Kelvin Banks or Donovan Jackson and has the Day 2 capital (Nos. 58, 79, 89) to make it happen.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"3302\" data-end=\"3347\">Trade Talk Heating Up as Draft Approaches<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3349\" data-end=\"3660\">With only days remaining until Round 1, the 2025 NFL Draft trade rumors continue to swirl. Teams chasing top-tier talent will need to decide if the cost to move up is worth it. Whether it\u2019s Hunter, Jeanty, Carter, or one of the premier offensive linemen, expect movement early and often once the picks start rolling in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3662\" data-end=\"3782\">The Browns and Giants are the draft&#8217;s biggest wild cards \u2014 and their decisions could define how the first round unfolds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3351\" data-end=\"3470\"><em>Main Photo: Michael Ciaglo &#8211; Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025 NFL Draft trade rumors are heating up.
