1 Trade We'd Like to See for Every NFL Team

Few things in the NFL offseason generate more buzz than trade rumors.

Pick and player swaps aren't as prevalent as draft picks or free agent signings, but they are every bit as intriguing.

Last year, we saw one of the most fun receiver duos in the league formed when the Cowboys traded for George Pickens. The Seahawks set the table for their Super Bowl run by trading away Geno Smith for a third-round pick.

Whether a trade works out or not, every deal should attempt to move a team forward. Whether it's reuniting a successful player-coach relationship, addressing a crucial need, or balancing the checkbook, there are certain trades that just feel right.

Here, we'll throw out a hypothetical deal that we like for each franchise based on its current roster, financial outlook, trade targets, and trade assets.

Arizona Cardinals

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray

Cardinals Receive: 2026 fourth-round pick (No. 103), 2026 fifth-round pick (No. 178), 2027 conditional third-round pick (becomes a second with snaps incentive)

Jets Receive: QB Kyler Murray

We're not going to double-dip too often for this piece. However, this is a deal that would be good to see for both sides. The rumors have been swirling about the Cardinals parting ways with Murray throughout the early part of the offseason.

With Mike LaFleur taking over as head coach, the timing could be right to simply move on and start a new era.

Usually, the persistent chatter that Murray is out would hurt his trade price. There's a case to be made that Kyler Murray is the best quarterback available in the league this season, though.

Teams like the Browns, Jets, Dolphins, and even the Raiders could potentially be interested in Murray. He has limitations, but he's still a dual-threat quarterback who has proven to be a competent starter.

The best-case scenario for the Cardinals is that the Jets feel the pressure to win in 2026 and offer a slight overpay in draft capital. Arizona can roll with Jacoby Brissett for a year if they need to and get cap relief and draft picks to rebuild in return.

Atlanta Falcons

Browns CB Denzel Ward

Falcons Receive: CB Denzel Ward

Browns Receive: 2026 fourth-round pick (No. 114), 2027 conditional third-round pick

The Falcons are hoping that Kevin Stefanski can get the offense headed in the right direction and take over the NFC South.

He might need a little more firepower to get that done on the defensive side of the ball.

The Falcons' search for a corner to play opposite A.J. Terrell has not been productive. Mike Hughes tried to fill the role last season, and it was a weak spot in the Falcons' secondary.

Ward is on the older side. He'll be 30 in December, but he's still playing at a high level and was a major component of the Browns' success on defense this season. He's also already familiar with Kevin Stefanski and what he'll try to instill in the team.

For Cleveland, this is an opportunity to improve its stockpile of draft picks in 2027 to chase a quarterback. For the Falcons, it's about putting together the best secondary they've had in years while keeping costs light, since they already traded their 2026 first-round pick during last year's draft.

Baltimore Ravens

Vikings DT Javon Hargrave

Ravens Receive: DT Javon Hargrave

Vikings Receive: 2026 sixth-round pick (No. 210)

Jesse Minter takes over in Baltimore with the goal of building an elite defense that can support Lamar Jackson on offense. The Ravens were 28th in pressure percentage last season.

Adding reinforcements up front needs to be a priority. They could have an opportunity to go after a veteran at a relatively cheap draft price in Javon Hargrave.

The Vikings could clear $15 million by trading the veteran defensive tackle. Their cap situation is going to demand some difficult decisions and Hargrave had a bit of a down year last season.

Even so, he registered 22 total pressures, per Sports Info Solutions. That would have been second to only Travis Jones among the Ravens interior options last season.

Hargrave might only have a year or two left of production at 33 years old, but it would be worth the risk for the Ravens to build an elite pass rush.

Buffalo Bills

Vikings WR Jordan Addison

Bills Receive: WR Jordan Addison

Vikings Receive: 2026 second-round pick (No. 60), 2027 conditional pick (fifth-rounder with escalators for performance)

There's no doubt about it: The Bills need a dynamic receiver. The front office tried to deny that it was a need last offseason.

Keon Coleman has been a disappointment, but even at his best, he isn't the kind of man-coverage beater that Josh Allen needs. Jordan Addison has dealt with multiple off‑field incidents during his time with the Vikings, and the team will have to decide on his fifth‑year option this offseason.

If they aren't comfortable extending him for the long term, he could become a valuable trade asset. The Bills could fit his $4.4 million cap hit relatively easy and they'd have time to figure out how to afford his extension.

The Bills don't have a ton of cap space. They also have other pressing needs if they want to finally get over the playoff hump. This could be a relatively cost-efficient way to fill a huge need for the long haul.

Carolina Panthers

Bears TE Cole Kmet

Panthers Receive: TE Cole Kmet

Bears Receive: 2026 fifth-round pick (No. 157)

The clock is ticking on the Panthers time to evaluate Bryce Young. He's entering the fourth year of his rookie contract and the team will need to decide on his fifth-year option.

We still haven't seen what he's capable of with Dave Canales in an offense that features plenty of weaponry. Drafting Tetairoa McMillan was a start, but they did not have another receiver over 400 yards.

Finding a reliable tight end would be a way to boost the passing attack and Cole Kmet is a logical trade target. He's had more than 400 yards receiving in every season other than his rookie year and last season.

With the Bears striking gold on the Colston Loveland pick, they could be willing to part with Kmet for the cap savings and take a Day 3 pick.

That's a no-brainer for the Panthers who could make Kmet a top tight end option again in an offense that needs weapons.

Chicago Bears

Cardinals S Budda Baker

Bears Receive: S Budda Baker

Cardinals Receive: 2026 third-round pick (No. 89), 2027 fourth-round pick

The Bears are fresh off a breakout season in Ben Johnson's first season, but they have major questions at the safety position. Both Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker are slated to become free agents.

Byard is coming off an All-Pro season, but he's also 32. Brisker is coming off his rookie contract and has played a full season just once in four years.

Chicago has a two-year window left before Caleb Williams fifth-year option kicks in and they have to start paying the quarterback. A move to acquire another star defensive player in Baker is the kind of all-in move that could raise the stakes in the NFC North.

Baker was named to his seventh-consecutive Pro Bowl this season, raking up 120 tackles for the Cardinals defense. His versatility and tackling ability make him a huge chess piece in Arizona's defense.

It would also make him right at home in Dennis Allen's defense. The fact that he could chase a ring in Chicago after a few rough seasons in Arizona makes the idea even more fun.

Cincinnati Bengals

Giants DT Dexter Lawrence

Bengals Receive: DT Dexter Lawrence, 2026 sixth-round pick (No. 192)

Giants Receive: 2026 second-round pick (No. 41), 2027 fifth-round pick

The Bengals defense has been a calamity the last two seasons. There are a lot of reasons for it, but a lack of talent on the interior has been a driving force in both instances.

That would end if the Bengals got aggressive in pursuit of Dexter Lawrence.

The 6'4", 340-pound nose tackle is one of the most unique interior defenders in the league. Not only can he two-gap and stuff the run, but he also posts better pass-rush production than a lot of 3-techs.

He's the force multiplier in the middle of the defense that could change the Bengals front. They'd have to give up a similar package to what Seattle gave the Giants to get Leonard Williams.

New York could clear a significant bit of cap space by dealing Lawrence, which might prompt it to listen if a strong offer comes along.

Cleveland Browns

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin

Browns Receive: WR Chris Godwin

Buccaneers Receive: 2026 fourth-round pick (No. 107)

Not only do the Browns need to figure out their quarterback, they also have to figure out who that quarterback is throwing to.

Jerry Jeudy's days as the team's top option have to be over. He had 10 drops this season and Cleveland quarterbacks had a passer rating of 43.8 when targeted.

Andrew Berry has tried to target distressed assets at wide receiver. He swung trades for both Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy. He would be repeating the process, but with hope for a better return this time.

Godwin has faced season-ending injuries in each of the last two seasons, but Todd Monken coached the receiver early in his career with Tampa. That relationship helped build Godwin into the receiver he became.

Getting a chance to reunite where he could have a bounce-back as the No. 1 receiver for the Browns would be a cool story for both sides.

Dallas Cowboys

Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey

Cowboys Receive: CB Jalen Ramsey

Steelers Receive: 2026 fifth-round pick (No. 150)

Jalen Ramsey has been connected to the Dallas Cowboys since he entered the league. The star defensive back has said the team told him they would draft him when they chose Ezekiel Elliott in the 2016 draft.

Dallas also came up as a potential suitor when the Dolphins were potentially looking to trade Ramsey last spring, although Cowboys insider Ed Werder refuted the report.

Still, one year later and the Cowboys have a need in the defensive backfield. They released Trevon Diggs at the end of the season and DaRon Bland is the only sure thing coming back next season.

There is risk in trading for Ramsey. He's 31 and was moved to safety in the latter half of the season in Pittsburgh. However, it probably would only cost a Day 3 pick given his price tag and age.

Even if the Cowboys have to keep him at safety, he would bring playmaking and leadership to the secondary.

Denver Broncos

Saints RB Alvin Kamara

Broncos Receive: RB Alvin Kamara

Saints Receive: 2026 seventh-round pick (No. 247)

There's something to be said for Alvin Kamara finishing out his career as a Saint. It's not often we see a player have a 10-year career with the same team in the league anymore.

There's also something to be said for Kamara reuniting with former head coach Sean Payton for another ride at a championship.

The Saints are positioned to move on from Kamara. The 30-year-old back posted under 1,000 total yards (657) for the first time in his career. However, he still provided value as a pass catching option out of the backfield.

Payton has his lead back in R.J. Harvey. He could get creative in how he incorporates his veteran back as Kamara extends his shelf life as a complementary piece in an offense that still needs weapons.

Detroit Lions

Raiders Edge Maxx Crosby

Lions Receive: Edge Maxx Crosby

Raiders Receive: 2026 first-round pick (No. 17), 2027 second-round pick, CB Terrion Arnold

With the Raiders appearing to be in rebuild mode, there has been speculation about whether Maxx Crosby could be available in a trade this offseason.

If Crosby is on the block, then the Micah Parsons trade—which cost the Packers two first-round picks and Kenny Clark—is probably the starting point for negotiations. However, Crosby is 28 years old and coming off a knee injury.

He's also never been a first-team All-Pro selection, so he could come at a lower cost than the Parsons trade.

There are plenty of teams around the league that would be intriguing suitors. Crosby could improve just about every team's pass rush.

The Lions make a lot of sense as a team that has lost momentum as a contender, though. Dan Campbell's group seemed to fade from the spotlight as the year went on.

Pairing Crosby with Aidan Hutchinson puts them right back in that spotlight. It would finally give Crosby a strong bookend while putting the Lions right back in the NFC conversation.

Green Bay Packers

Giants CB Deonte Banks

Packers Receive: CB Deonte Banks

Giants Receive: 2026 sixth-round pick (No. 200)

The Packers find themselves with little cap room ($1.6 million in the red) and a few key free agents such as Quay Walker and Romeo Doubs to keep around.

That doesn't leave a ton of money to go chase external free agents or trade targets. The Packers aren't typically one to take those kind of swings anyway.

Outside of the big swing on Micah Parsons last season, Green Bay is not typically a loud team this time of year. So, an under-the-radar trade for a potential diamond in the rough would be a very Packers move at this point.

They have a real need at cornerback. They tried several answers on the outside last season and will need to keep looking.

Deonte Banks might be a solution. He flashed as a first-round pick in his rookie season in 2023, but has struggled since then. With Jonathan Gannon taking over the defense and John Harbaugh taking over in New York, this would be a good time to see if Banks still fits in the Giants' plans.

Houston Texans

Jaguars OL Walker Little

Texans Receive: OT Walker Little

Jaguars Receive: 2026 fourth-round pick (No. 128)

The Texans were one of the worst run-blocking offensive lines (29th in yards before contact) and weren't all that great at protecting C.J. Stroud either. If the Texans want their quarterback to bounce back they are going to have to improve the offensive line.

That's not always easy to do in one offseason, especially if there isn't an abundance of cap space.

That's why calling up a division rival to add a tackle with starting experience in the mix would be a good move. The Texans aren't likely to find real tackle competition with guard versatility on Day 3 of the draft.

That's exactly what they would get out of Walker Little. The Jaguars tackle has played a little bit at guard, but lost the left tackle job to Cole Van Lanen.

For the Jaguars, this would provide some needed cap relief. The Texans could wind up getting a starting offensive lineman for around $11.9 million. It's a cost-effective move that could pay off big.

Indianapolis Colts

Steelers LB Patrick Queen

Colts Receive: LB Patrick Queen

Steelers Receive: 2026 third-round pick (No. 78)

The Colts have a lot of big-ticket items to figure out this offseason. What they'll do with Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce are the biggest questions heading into this portion of the offseason.

But the one position that could probably be drastically improved with a trade is off-ball linebacker. The Colts need more athleticism and production in the middle of their defense and Patrick Queen has on-the-job experience providing that.

Queen's stay in Pittsburgh hasn't gone as expected. He was ranked 79th in PFF grade among the 88 eligible linebackers this season.

However, his run in Baltimore, which ended with a second-team All-Pro nod, shows that he could once again be an asset if paired with the right running mate.

Perhaps pairing him with Zaire Franklin might be the move that reignites both of their careers and levels up the Colts defense.

Jacksonville Jaguars

AP Photo/Chris Szagola

Bears DT Gervon Dexter Sr.

Jaguars Receive: DT Gervon Dexter Sr.

Bears Receive: 2026 third-round pick (No. 81)

The Jaguars were 18th in pressure percentage last season and 27th in sacks. That sack ranking would have been even worse without Arik Armstead posting 5.5 sacks.

The problem is that Armstead is already 32 years old and the Jags need defensive line depth behind him. Austin Johnson and Matt Dickerson are both set to hit free agency. Losing either of them would hit the Jaguars interior depth.

Trading for Gervon Dexter Sr. could give them a long-term replacement for Armstead and upgrade the unit as a whole.

Dexter has the same length that made Armstead an appealing option for Jacksonville. The 6'6", 24-year-old just put together his best season with six sacks, but the Bears are going to have to decide if they want to pay him.

Considering all the money they already have invested in the defensive line, they might be willing to listen to offers. Jacksonville should be motivated to make a compelling pitch.

Kansas City Chiefs

Lions RB David Montgomery

Chiefs Receive: RB David Montgomery

Lions Receive: 2026 fifth-round pick (No. 176)

The Chiefs' run game is going to be important in 2026. With Patrick Mahomes potentially sidelined for the early part of the season, they'll need to be able to support whoever is throwing the ball for them.

Both Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco are set to become free agents so the Chiefs backfield is murky at the moment.

A Day 3 pick for David Montgomery would actually stabilize the backfield and provide a reasonable floor. Montgomery took a clear back seat to Jahmyr Gibbs this season and only had 158 carries.

He was still effective at 4.5 yards per carry. His physical running style would make him an ideal Hunt replacement and he would only cost the cash-strapped Chiefs $3.5 million if they trade for him.

Kansas City needs a veteran back on the roster and Montgomery needs the opportunity for a bigger role.

Las Vegas Raiders

Bears WR D.J. Moore

Raiders Receive: WR D.J. Moore

Bears Receive: 2026 fourth-round pick (No. 117)

All signs point to the Raiders drafting Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick. They've already started the important work of putting him in a position to succeed by hiring Klint Kubiak as their head coach.

The Chicago Bears were a prime example of what can happen when you pair a young, talented quarterback with the right head coach. Ben Johnson helped unlock a new level for Caleb Williams.

He also had the help of a veteran receiver in D.J. Moore who was a steady veteran target. However, he's become a luxury that the Bears might not be looking to keep. With Rome Odunze and Luther Burden ready to step up, the Bears could save $16.5 million by trading him.

Moore would be a similar asset for the Raiders rebuild. He could provide veteran leadership and a consistent target while Mendoza and the Raiders young weapons get acclimated.

He's only 29 so there's still a chance that he returns back to his 1,000-yard form in a new offense with more opportunity too.

Los Angeles Chargers

Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr.

Chargers Receive: WR Michael Pittman Jr.

Colts Receive: WR Quentin Johnston, 2027 fifth-round pick

Quentin Johnston has struggled to live up to expectations as a former first-round pick with the Chargers. Michael Pittman Jr. was passed by Alec Pierce in Indianapolis this season.

A change of scenery for both receivers could be good for all involved.

Pittman might not have been Daniel Jones's preferred target in Indy this season, but he has two 1,000-yard seasons on his resume. Jim Harbaugh should like his blocking ability as well.

Johnston has eight touchdowns in each of his last two seasons, but he's going to be due for a contract extenstion after this season. The Chargers might see this as a good time to leverage his production to upgrade the spot in a trade.

Pittman's physicality would fit into Jim Harbaugh's ethos and the Colts would free up $24 million in cap space to secure Pierce's contract extension.

Los Angeles Rams

Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie

Rams Receive: CB Trent McDuffie

Chiefs Receive: 2026 first-round pick (No. 29)

The current iteration of the Rams has plenty of homegrown talent, but we also know that general manager Les Snead isn't afraid to swing a deal.

The Rams have been getting by with discounted cornerbacks for the last few seasons. Guys like Cobie Durant and Derion Kendrick paired with older veterans like Darious Williams and Ahkello Witherspoon were all attempts to get more than what the Rams paid for at the position.

After coming up short in the NFC Championship Game, it might finally be time to pay up for better results in the secondary.

Trent McDuffie is a perfect trade target in that regard. He has All-Pro talent and the versatility to play inside and out.

The Chiefs have traded both Marcus Peters and L'Jarius Sneed when their financial situation got tough. They have one of the biggest cap debts to erase before the league year starts so trading away McDuffie could be in the cards.

The Rams have an additional first-rounder after getting the Falcons first-round pick in the James Pearce trade last season. They could use that extra capital to trade their own first to instantly improve a glaring weakness.

Miami Dolphins

Seahawks QB Jalen Milroe

Dolphins Receive: QB Jalen Milroe

Seahawks Receive: 2026 third-round pick (No. 75)

The Dolphins are essentially starting over with new head coach Jeff Hafley and general manager Jon Eric-Sullivan.

One of the first questions they'll have to figure out is what to do at the quarterback position. It feels like Tua Tagovailoa's time has come to an end in South Beach and Quinn Ewers didn't do enough as a seventh-round rookie to secure the job next year.

The only problem is the Dolphins have one of the worst cap situations in the league. That doesn't even factor in the cap hit they could absorb if they move on from Tagovailoa.

The Seahawks' success with Sam Darnold this season leaves an unclear path to playing time for Jalen Milroe. The rookie has intriguing tools after running a 4.37 40-yard dash. That kind of electric athleticism combined with his passing is reminiscent of Malik Willis.

Willis is set to cash in as a free agent after a solid showing as the Packers backup for the last three seasons. The only question is whether the Dolphins can afford to put together a competitive offer.

The more intriguing path might be to offer up their third-round pick to replace the third-rounder the Seahawks spent on Milroe in last year's draft.

Minnesota Vikings

49ers QB Mac Jones

Vikings Receive: QB Mac Jones

49ers Receive: 2026 third-round pick (No. 82), 2027 conditional pick (starts as a fourth-rounder and goes up to a second based on snaps or performance)

On paper, the Vikings check most of the boxes to be a real Super Bowl contender. The defense has been good with Brian Flores as the defensive coordinator. Kevin O'Connell is one of the best offensive minds in the game and they have plenty of skill on offense to be dynamic.

The one that was missing this year was a quarterback that could bring it all together.

J.J. McCarthy wasn't able to make the impact the team expected in his first year as the starter. He went 6-4 as the starter in 10 games, but also threw just 11 touchdowns to 12 interceptions.

Meanwhile, Sam Darnold went off to Seattle and won a Super Bowl. Mac Jones could be the next quarterback redemption story in the league. He went 5-3 in eight starts as the 49ers backup this season, throwing for 13 touchdowns to six interceptions and a 62.3 QBR.

It's hard to imagine the Vikings moving forward with no competition for McCarthy. Minnesota could offer a late Day 2 pick in this year's draft with a conditional pick that's based on Jones' impact next season.

That would be a creative way to add a quarterback while managing a rough cap situation in Minnesota.

At minimum, this ensures Justin Jefferson has someone to get him the ball next year.

New England Patriots

Eagles WR A.J. Brown

Patriots Receive: WR A.J. Brown

Eagles Receive: 2026 second-round pick (No. 63), 2026 fourth-round pick (No. 125), 2027 conditional pick

Nobody loves to air it out more than Drake Maye. He led the league in air yards per attempt (9.1) and isn't afraid to take chances down field.

The Patriots could supercharge that tendency by getting a great deep threat in A.J. Brown. Stefon Diggs is 33 years old and the Pats can clear an additional $16.8 in cap space by releasing him. They'd clear even more and potentially get a draft pick if they trade him.

The Eagles' relationship with Brown seems to have deteriorated. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that league executives believe the team could be looking to move him this offseason.

If so, the Patriots are well-positioned to be the team that makes a run for him. They have plenty of cap space, a quarterback worth investing in and they're in the AFC so the Eagles wouldn't even be trading him in the conference.

This is kind of move that would allow them to ante up after coming up short against the Seahawks in the Super Bowl.

New Orleans Saints

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk

Saints Receive: WR Brandon Aiyuk

49ers Receive: 2026 sixth-round pick (No. 189), 2027 conditional Day 3 pick (based on games played/production)

Brandon Aiyuk's stock has dipped after a major knee injury that cost him the 2025 season and a well‑documented rift with the 49ers over his contract, so some teams might be hesitant to pursue him.

The Saints haven't traditionally been a team scared off in these situations.

Chase Young was criticized for his effort and dealt with multiple injuries as a former top pick in the draft. The Saints traded for him and now he's a foundational piece of their defense.

New Orleans is currently trying to put the best roster possible around Tyler Shough. Giving him Aiyuk as another option alongside Chris Olave would certainly qualify.

This move would be a gamble. The draft compensation isn't a ton, but the Saints would also have to pay the receiver. However, it's a gamble that could result in forming one of the best receiver tandems in the league if both can stay healthy.

New York Giants

Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey

Giants Receive: CB Marlon Humphrey

Ravens Receive: 2026 fourth-round pick (No. 105), 2026 sixth-round pick (No. 191)

John Harbaugh takes over a roster that is mostly defined by its young, exciting talent in 2026. The former Ravens boss is going to go from a veteran-laden team to a franchise that is looking to build around Jaxon Dart.

The secondary is a specific unit that could use some veteran leadership. Cordale Flott, Paulson Adebo and Andru Phillips were the mainstays at cornerback this season. None are exactly foundational pieces moving forward.

Humphrey might be on the tail end of his peak. He's 29 and his 2025 campaign didn't live up to his All-Pro 2024 season.

However, his versatility as someone who can play in the slot and outside along with his experience with Harbaugh could make him a strong addition to New York's secondary.

At this point, the Ravens can't ask for too much in a trade because they are getting a significant amount of cap space from dealing a veteran who might be on his last legs.

New York Jets

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray

Jets Receive: QB Kyler Murray

Cardinals Receive: 2026 fourth-round pick (No. 103), 2026 fifth-round pick (No. 178), 2027 conditional third-round pick (becomes a second with snaps incentive)

Dante Moore's decision to return to Oregon might have forced the New York Jets' hand with this one. Having a real plan at quarterback is the most important aspect of their offseason.

Otherwise, it's probably a new coaching staff, front office and quarterback in 2027.

Without a No. 2 quarterback in the class that's worthy of the second pick, the Jets might have to get aggressive with a trade.

Murray is the most accomplished quarterback who could be available via trade. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported at the end of the season that the Cardinals planned to have extensive discussions about the quarterback's future with the team.

Murray has played at a high level at times in his career and has over 3,100 rushing yards in 87 games. He could be the type of dual-threat option the Jets were hoping they would get out of Justin Fields.

This trade would hit the reset button for the Cardinals and give the Jets a real shot at showing growth under Glenn in his second season.

Philadelphia Eagles

Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks

Eagles Receive: WR Dontayvion Wicks

Packers Receive: 2026 fourth-round pick (No. 122)

The Eagles don't have a ton of cap space so they might have to get a little creative to swing a trade that improves them. That being said, Howie Roseman is not a general manager known for sitting on his hands.

Philadelphia's offense stalled out in key moments this season. Whether they keep A.J. Brown or not, they need more reliable weapons for Jalen Hurts in the passing game.

With Sean Mannion coming in as the offensive coordinator, it would make a lot sense for Philadelphia to target a receiver familiar with the coach. The Packers have a ton of depth at receiver and trading Wicks would make sense to clear some cap space and a roster spot.

The former fifth-round pick has flashed the ability to be a deep threat in the league. He had 581 yards on 39 receptions as a rookie, but his role has dwindled over the last two seasons.

That could change in an Eagles offense that needs more options.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Broncos CB Riley Moss

Steelers Receive: CB Riley Moss

Broncos Receive: 2026 third-round pick (No. 85)

Nothing about what the Steelers have done this offseason has pointed toward a patient rebuild. They hired Mike McCarthy to replace Mike Tomlin, they're hoping to get Aaron Rodgers back for another season.

So, when it comes to finding a cornerback who can finally fill the gap across from Joey Porter Jr., the Steelers could get aggressive and use one of their three picks in the third round to get a veteran.

Riley Moss would be the ideal target. He's coming off a breakout season with the Broncos in which he had 19 passes defended. However, he's also on the final year of his rookie contract and the Broncos have a lot of money in Patrick Surtain II and Jahdae Barron waiting in the wings.

If they don't plan on giving Moss a huge extension, it might make more sense to free up the role for Barron and get a nice draft pick in exchange.

The Steelers would still have multiple picks in the third round and get another defender to give them a chance at an elite defense next season.

San Francisco 49ers

Steelers Edge Nick Herbig

49ers Receive: Edge Nick Herbig, 2026 sixth-round pick (No. 215)

Steelers Receive: QB Mac Jones

The 49ers had one of the worst pass rushes in the league last season. The Steelers could need a quarterback if Aaron Rodgers decides not to return for the 2026 season.

Let's make a deal.

Jones is worth more to another team than he is to the Niners at this point. His 5-3 run as the starter during Brock Purdy's absence showed that he could be the next reclamation project that becomes a legitimate NFL starter.

Meanwhile, Nick Herbig had a breakout campaign himself for the Steelers. He led the league in pass rush win rate and tallied 7.5 sacks. Pittsburgh is going to have a tough decision to make with a ton of money already invested in T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith.

If the Steelers can use Herbig to find a potentially long-term answer at quarterback that would be a good use of his breakout season. If the Niners can turn their backup quarterback into the player that leads the charge for their next generation of pass rush, that's a win.

Seattle Seahawks

Packers OL Elgton Jenkins

Seahawks Receive: IOL Elgton Jenkins, fifth-round pick (No. 158)

Packers Receive: 2026 third-round pick (No. 96)

The Seahawks proved to be the best team in the playoffs, but upgrading the interior of the offensive line could be critical to repeating. Gray Zabel is the only piece they should feel confident in going into the 2026 season.

Fortunately, the Seahawks are flush with cap space and could make an aggressive move to get a veteran starter if they want.

They could take advantage of the Packers' cap situation to make a run at Elgton Jenkins. The versatile offensive lineman has played just about every spot for the Packers, but did not play well when moved to center last season.

Last offseason, the Bears were able to get Joe Thuney from the Chiefs for a fourth-round pick. The Seahawks don't have a fourth-rounder so they might have to get creative, but Jenkins would patch up one of the few holes on the Seahawks roster.

A pick swap and the ability to take on Jenkins' $18.5 million salary could facilitate the upgrade for Seattle.

Giants Receive: 2026 third-round pick (No. 77)

It feels like the Bucs have needed pass-rush help every offseason for years. Adding Bryce Huff to their collection of edge-rushers didn't solve the problem last season, but making a move for a young dynamic talent like Kayvon Thibodeaux could change things.

Thibodeaux's time with New York has been up and down. A shoulder injury limited him to just 10 games, and he appears to be behind Brian Burns and Abdul Carter on the depth chart.

Still, Thibodeaux is a former No. 5 overall selection and he posted 11.5 sacks in 2023. Todd Bowles is the kind of defensive mind who should be able to scheme Thibodeaux one-on-one looks and get his career back on track.

It would be fun to see the former Oregon star in a blitz-heavy system that's going to let him do what he does best. The Giants could be willing to take a third-rounder to get out of the club-option year on his contract, set to cost them $14.8 million.

Jets Edge Jermaine Johnson

Titans Receive: Edge Jermaine Johnson

Jets Receive: 2026 third-round pick (No. 66), 2027 fifth-round pick

Jermaine Johnson looked like a first-round pick in his second season in 2023. Then Jets head coach Robert Saleh helped him put together a Pro Bowl season with 7.5 sacks.

Since then, it's been a winding road for Johnson in New York. He tore his Achilles in 2024 and came back with three sacks in 14 games last season. There's some risk in betting that he can return back to the pre-injury version of himself.

But Saleh and the Titans are well-positioned to take that risk. They need to find some foundational pieces to build around and Johnson still has that kind of upside.

A reunion with Saleh could be just what both parties need. Johnson is set to play on the club option year of his rookie contract, but doesn't have an extension yet. The Jets are still establishing their identity under Aaron Glenn.

If they don't feel like signing him to an extension is worth the risk then flipping him for two picks might make sense.

Commanders Receive: WR Brian Thomas Jr.

Who doesn't love a quarterback-wide receiver reunion?

The Commanders' No. 1 objective over the next few offseasons is to build around Jayden Daniels. Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel are both getting a little long in the tooth at 30 years old.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported that the Jaguars were "listening on calls" for Brian Thomas Jr. even if a deal was unlikely. She also noted that they were shopping for defense.

Heading into the 2026 season, they could still be shopping for defense and Thomas' role in the offense remained diminished. He saw a sharp decline in production in Liam Coen's first year with the team.

The Commanders are probably overpaying Daron Payne, even if he is still playing at a relatively high level. Pairing him with a draft pick would be a high cost, but they'd be securing a dynamic 23-year-old receiver with two years left on his rookie deal and a confirmed chemistry with the franchise quarterback.
