Maxx Crosby, Brandon Aiyuk, Alvin Kamara and More Trade Targets Highlighted by NFL Insider

After star players A.J. Brown and Myles Garrett were traded earlier this week, one NFL insider revealed other big names who could be on the move.

ESPN's Dan Graziano listed 10 star players who are likely trade candidates this offseason and the start of the 2026 regular season before the trade deadline on Nov. 4:

• Maxx Crosby, Edge, Las Vegas Raiders
• Brandon Aiyuk, WR, San Francisco 49ers
• Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints
• Kayshon Boutte, WR, New England Patriots
• James Conner, RB, Arizona Cardinals
• Kyle Pitts Sr., TE, Atlanta Falcons
• Spencer Rattler, QB, New Orleans Saints
• Josh Sweat, Edge, Arizona Cardinals
• Kayvon Thibodeaux, Edge, New York Giants
• Mac Jones, QB, San Francisco 49ers

Crosby is still viewed as the biggest trade candidate in the NFL after the Raiders' failed deal with the Baltimore Ravens earlier this offseason. The Ravens backed out of the deal over medical concerns after he underwent knee surgery in January, and Graziano noted, "I wouldn't expect Crosby trade talk to heat up again until he gets on a field and shows he's healthy." If he's fully recovered, he could be a target for contending teams.

"Crosby might stick with the Raiders all year at this point, but if he's going to get traded at all, we're probably looking at something in-season ahead of the deadline," Graziano stated. "If a team such as the Cowboys, Bills, Bears or Patriots finds itself in contention and in need of an impact pass rusher, things could get interesting here again."

49ers general manager John Lynch announced earlier this offseason that Aiyuk won't be with the team in 2026, but no decision has been made on his future as of yet. Graziano explained that "teams aren't eager to trade any valuable player for one who hasn't played since October 2024 and seems likely to be released before the season starts." He named the Washington Commanders as a potential landing spot for Aiyuk because of his connection with quarterback and former college teammate Jayden Daniels.

Kamara has just one year left on his contract, and the Saints already added his potential replacement by signing running back Travis Etienne this offseason. Graziano stated that it's "hard to see a team offering too much for Kamara at this point in his career," but teams like the Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers could use his services if he's made available for a trade.
