Personally I would be surprised if anyone is traded but then again Les Snead is a wheeler-dealer. Here is an article with trade suggestions for every team. Click the link below to read the whole article.

Ideal Trade Target for Each NFL Team
BRENT SOBLESKI
Los Angeles Rams: CB Malcolm Butler

It might seem strange for the Los Angeles Rams to acquire a cornerback at the trade deadline, because the organization may consider dealing its top corner, Trumaine Johnson.
Whether the Rams consider moving Johnson is inconsequential because the New England Patriots' Malcolm Butler fits whether the franchise player is on the roster or not.
Johnson and Butler could form a dynamic duo for Wade Phillips' defense, even if it's just for the final nine games this season. Kayvon Webster's solid play along with Lamarcus Joyner's coverage in the slot and John Johnson III's surprising first-year performance could make the Rams into an elite secondary.
This is how Phillips thrived in Denver. Von Miller helped, but the secondary was the best in the business.
The opportunity to acquire a starting cornerback of Butler's caliber would help build the Rams into a better team, even after their 5-2 start.
Kansas City Chiefs: WR Tavon Austin

Financially, Tavon Austin's acquisition wouldn't make much sense for the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have just over $2 million in available cap space, while Austin's four-year, $42 million contract is among the league's worst.
Some other moves would need to occur—like trading linebacker Tamba Hali. But the potential benefit could be tremendous.
Schematically, no team offers a better fit for the fifth-year receiver. Andy Reid is one of the NFL's most inventive play-callers. Furthermore, Austin could bring more versatility to an offense that already features Tyreek Hill.
With both Hill and Austin on the field, defenses would be on their heels trying to account for both. Austin's addition could be crucial for an offense that lacks a No. 2 wide receiver.
New York Jets: QB Sean Mannion

The New York Jets have already exceeded every expectation this season. Granted, that wasn't a difficult achievement since they were considered the NFL's worst team.
Instead, the Jets have been competitive each week with the 38-year-old Josh McCown behind center. The team is playing itself out of top-quarterback range for April's draft, but a succession plan is still needed at the game's most important position.
Sean Mannion isn't the biggest name on the market. The New England Patriots' Jimmy Garoppolo is, but Bill Belichick isn't going to ship him to the Big Apple. The Cincinnati Bengals' AJ McCarron is another name to watch.
Mannion is a 2015 third-round pick and has the required physical tools. The 25-year-old is 6'6" and 231 pounds with a big arm. He left the collegiate ranks as the Pac-12's all-time passing leader. With Jared Goff at the helm, the Rams can leverage Mannion into a draft asset, while the Jets can move past Christian Hackenberg and Bryce Petty.
Cleveland Browns: CB Trumaine Johnson

Quarterback seems to be the logical choice here, right? After all, head coach Hue Jackson is now playing musical chairs, with DeShone Kizer, Kevin Hogan and Cody Kessler each receiving playing time at some point during the past two weeks.
However, two factors don't align with that idea. First, the Browns are positioned to "earn" the No. 1 overall pick, and a top quarterback prospect could be staring the organization in the face. Second, the regime in place now may not be around to develop whichever signal-caller they acquire.
Instead, making a play for Los Angeles Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson would be a more logical approach.
Johnson is a standout cover corner and would complete a cornerback room that already features Jason McCourty, Jamar Taylor and Briean Boddy-Calhoun. The 27-year-old previously excelled in defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' scheme. Even if the staff is fired after the season, the Browns' cornerback rotation would be rock solid. More importantly, Cleveland has more than enough cap space to offer the free agent-to-be a massive long-term deal this offseason.
