11 wide receivers that the Washington Football Team could trade for now
Group 2: Talented, but more difficult to acquire
John Ross is a talented speedster for the Cincinnati Bengals, but he hasn’t lived up to the hype after being drafted in the top 10 three years ago. Injuries have limited his production and he could be too much of a risk in any trade. That being said, it would likely take a fourth-rounder to land Ross or maybe a third, but that seems like a high price to pay.
Mike Williams has been steadily improving since he entered the league in 2017. He can gain major chunks of yardage and the former Clemson Tiger is a superb downfield threat.
The Los Angeles Chargers are in rebuild mode and it is possible they would consider a trade offer – probably a third (the WTF has an extra 3rd round selection in 2021) or a 4th rounder. It’s also possible that running back Bryce Love would be dangled in any trade talks with the Chargers.

Dede Westbrook is a pass-catching machine for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the only knock on him is that he rarely picks up any yardage after a reception (YAC). The bottom line though is that he puts up high numbers and the former Oklahoma Sooner moves the chains regularly.
It will take at least a second-rounder to land him and he would need a new contract after 2020. The cost is probably too rich to consider.
Curtis Samuel has steadily improved since his rookie season with the Carolina Panthers and he had a breakout season in 2019. He’s obviously familiar with the offensive system for the WTF, but he is unlikely to be traded. If the Panthers did mull over a trade proposition, it would probably require a third-rounder or more.
