2025 NFL Trade Block Big Board Entering Week 2

We're only one week into the 2025 NFL season, and it already feels like some obvious buyers and sellers should be eyeing the trade markets.

A single poor performance in Week 1 doesn't doom a team's season. However, some losses were troubling, and a few contenders are already battling injuries and underperforming units.

Here, you'll find our top 10 trade targets entering Week 2, ranked based on their upside, past production, positional value, contract status, likely availability, projected price point and recent buzz. Value and likelihood of being traded are weighed equally with overall talent level.

We'll also examine some potential suitors for each player—based primarily on updated team needs, injuries and recent results—and projected trade values based on factors like positional value, player upside, player age and any comparable recent deals.

Which players are most likely to be available entering Week 1? Who should be at the top of teams' lists of targets? What are these players likely to cost? Let's take a look.

Projected Trade Value: 2026 4th-Round Pick, 2027 5th-Round Pick

The San Francisco 49ers made it clear that the contract adjustment they made with Jauan Jennings wouldn't prevent the team from doing a long-term deal.

"We're going to continue to work on a long-term deal, but now we have something that works for everyone in the short term," 49ers GM John Lynch told KNBR (h/t Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle).

Until Jennings is signed to an extension, though, the impending 2026 free agent remains a potential bargaining chip—and not just because he requested a trade in the offseason.

Should 2024 first-round pick Ricky Pearsall prove to be a consistent playmaker, Jennings could be viewed as expendable once Brandon Aiyuk returns from injury. He proved himself as a starter last season and should intrigue receiver-needy teams.

In the meantime, though, prying Jennings away from San Francisco could be both difficult and risky. He suffered a shoulder injury against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1, while star tight end George Kittle has a hamstring injury.

Potential Suitors: Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots

9. Greg Newsome II, CB, Cleveland Browns

Projected Trade Value: 2026 3rd-Round Pick

Cleveland Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II may also be difficult to obtain early in the season.

Following a terrific performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1—albeit in a loss—Cleveland's defense again looks capable of making the Browns competitive.

Newsome, meanwhile, was fantastic back on the perimeter for Cleveland. He helped limit Joe Burrow to just 113 passing yards while helping the Browns effectively shut down Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

The 25-year-old is on the fifth-year option, though, and could become a strong trade candidate if the Browns' season quickly spirals out of control. If that happens, there's a good chance Cleveland will chase a quarterback in the 2026 draft and could use all the extra draft capital it can get.

Given Newsome's combination of age, positional value and great recent play, the Browns could expect a quality Day 2 pick in return—that's the price Cleveland got for wideout Amari Cooper at last year's trade deadline.

Potential Suitors: Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles

8. D.J. Wonnum, LB, Carolina Panthers

Projected Trade Value: 2026 5th-Round pick

In Week 1, the Carolina Panthers looked a lot like the noncompetitive team they were early in 2024. There's still time to turn around the season, of course, but they are already looking to see what the team has in some younger players.

"I'd love for all of our young guys to play," head coach Dave Canales told reporters. "I really believe that it's so valuable for those guys to be out there."

Moving veteran linebacker D.J. Wonnum would help open opportunities for young defenders such as Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen. Though Wonnum didn't start in Week 1, he played 73 percent of the defensive snaps.

The Panthers could also simply want to get something of value for him before he hits the 2026 free-agent market. The 27-year-old logged 37 tackles and four sacks in eight games last season and should justify a reasonable return.

The fifth-round pick and late-round swap the Browns got for Za'Darius Smith at last year's deadline should serve as a starting point for Carolina.

Potential Suitors: Arizona Cardinals, Cincinnati Bengals

7. Kyle Pitts, TE, Atlanta Falcons

Projected Trade Value: 2026 3rd-Round Pick

While Atlanta Falcons tight end Ky.e Pitts flashed elite upside with a 1,026-yard rookie season, he's failed to play up to that level since.

Unsurprisingly, the impending 2026 free agent was the topic of trade chatter entering the season.

"Teams have been under the impression Pitts could have been available in a trade in the past, and that could be the case if the Falcons stumble before the Nov. 5 deadline," Jeff Howe of The Athletic wrote recently.

Though the Falcons lost their opener against the rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it feels like Pitts could be more difficult to acquire now than he might have been a few weeks ago.

The 24-year-old seems to have developed a strong chemistry with second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr., and the two hooked up seven times for 59 yards on eight targets in Week 1.

Atlanta won't be eager to move one of Penix's favorite pass-catchers while it still has playoff hopes—at least, not for what might be considered a bargain price.

Potential Suitors: New York Jets, Washington Commanders

6. Kayvon Thibodeaux, Edge, New York Giants

Projected Trade Value: 2026 2nd-Round Pick

Kayvon Thibodeaux is the top pass-rusher who might, theoretically, be available in the coming weeks. A lot will depend on how hot the seat gets for Giants head coach Brian Daboll.

A pass-rushing trio of Thibodeaux, Brian Burns and rookie Abdul Carter could help put a few wins together, which Daboll might need to keep his job. If his future seems more secure, though, moving Thibodeaux could make a lot of sense.

The Giants could also look to cash-in the 24-year-old if the season looks lost and/or if they decide to move on from Daboll—and their disastrous Week 1 offensive performance didn't provide a promising start.

New York will find it virtually impossible to keep all three of its top pass-rushers long-term. Thibodeaux is slated to be a free agent in 2027, one year before Carter becomes extension-eligible. There should be no shortage of teams looking for a pass-rusher with Thibodeaux's upside.

The Oregon product won't bring the high-level haul that the Dallas Cowboys got for Micah Parsons, but New York should expect a quality Day 2 draft selection.

Potential Suitors: Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions

5. Jaelan Phillips, Edge, Miami Dolphins

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 4th-Round Pick

Playoff hopefuls are often in the market for edge-rushers, and the Miami Dolphins might have one to spare between now and the trade deadline.

They have stockpiled an intriguing collection of pass-rushers that includes Bradley Chubb, Matthew Judon, Chop Robinson and Jaelan Phillips. If the Dolphins' woeful opener is an accurate indication, though, this rotation could go to waste in Miami.

Moving Phillips would be logical if the Dolphins don't turn things around quickly. Though season-ending injuries have impacted each of the last two seasons, the 26-year-old had 22 sacks over the first three years of his career. Finally healthy again, he could likely net Miami a high Day 3 pick at a minimum.

That price point should be acceptable for the Dolphins if they do fall out of contention. Phillips will be a free agent in the spring, and a full-on rebuild could involve chasing a replacement for Tua Tagovailoa in the 2026 draft.

Potential Suitors: Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

4. Mazi Smith, DT, Dallas Cowboys

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 6th-Round Pick

Cowboys defensive tackle Mazi Smith isn't the most proven player on this list. In fact, he's probably the most underwhelming.

A 2023 first-round pick out of Michigan, he has appeared in 34 games and played 830 defensive snaps but has recorded just 54 tackles and two sacks. He was a 17-game starter last season but was a healthy scratch against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1.

With Kenny Clark now manning the middle of their defense, the Cowboys appear to have little interest in letting Smith learn on the field. This means he can probably be had for pennies on the dollar.

Smith was viewed as a raw prospect coming out of college and was always expected to need time to develop. He's still a 6'3", 337-pound former first-round pick with a tremendous amount of untapped potential. A change of scenery might be required for him to reach it.

If Dallas doesn't want to be patient with him, it'll likely take any reasonable offer it can get.

Potential Suitors: Detroit Lions, Pittsburgh Steelers

3. Evan Neal, OL, New York Giants

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 7th-Round Pick

Giants offensive lineman Evan Neal doesn't have nearly as much on-field value as the top two players on our board. However, he's probably the most readily available player listed here.

Neal never developed into a reliable starter at tackle, and the Giants tried moving him to guard, but he couldn't beat out Greg Van Roten for the job.

Neal didn't get on the field in Week 1 after failing to beat out Aaron Stinnie for a backup role.

Still, Neal is a former first-round pick with 29 appearances and 27 starts on his resume who might be able to provide depth at both tackle and guard.

Teams with questionable depth at either spot should be willing to take a chance for a late-round flier.

Seeing as how the Alabama product can't even get on the field for the Giants, New York would probably dump the impending 2026 free agent for a late-round pick.

Potential Suitors: Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans

2. David Njoku, TE, Cleveland Browns

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 3rd-Round Pick

Like Newsome, tight end David Njoku is a player the Browns probably wouldn't consider moving until either A.) their season is all but lost or B.) an offer comes in that the franchise can't refuse.

Heading into Week 1, Njoku felt more like an extension candidate than a potential trade chip. However, that was before rookie Harold Fannin Jr. showed he's ready to make an immediate impact at the pro level.

Fannin caught seven catches for 63 yards in his NFL debut. Njoku was also involved (3 catches, 37 yards) against Cincinnati, and it's easy to see how Cleveland could benefit from using both in 12 personnel.

However, Fannin's presence on a rookie contract should make the idea of trading Njoku a lot more palatable for the Browns—especially since the 2023 Pro Bowler should carry a premium price tag.

The 29-year-old isn't an elite tight end, but he's a more proven playmaker than what most other franchises have at the position. An offer just below what the Pittsburgh Steelers paid for DK Metcalf this offseason might get a deal done.

Potential Suitors: Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers

1. Tyreek Hill, WR, Miami Dolphins

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 3rd-Round Pick

Phillips isn't the only player the Dolphins should consider moving if their season goes further south. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill is a logical trade candidate—due in no small part to his stats as a potential 2026 cap casualty.

Miami could save $36.3 million in cap space by releasing Hill in the offseason.

Several teams need wide receiver help because of injuries or flat-out poor depth. Though his production has declined since the start of last season, he led the league with 1,799 receiving yards in 2023.

However, the Dolphins are highly unlikely to get back anything close to the package they surrendered for Hill in 2022—which included first-, second- and sixth-round picks, along with a pair of fourth-rounders.

Hill is 31 years old and could command the sort of attention a lot of franchises won't tolerate. According to TMZ, Hill's ex-wife, Keeta Vaccaro, has accused Hill in court filings of domestic violence. If that report is accurate, it could open the door for Hill to be suspended under the league's personal-conduct policy.

Of course, speedy NFL investigations are rare. If a team believes Hill can help it win a championship in 2025, he'll probably be its top pass-catching target.

The conditional third-round pick the Las Vegas Raiders got for Davante Adams last season is probably the price he can command.
