Latest 2026 NFL Trade Block Big Board Following Mandatory Minicamps

With mandatory minicamps over and training camps still over a month away, we have officially entered the quiet portion of the NFL offseason. The news wire will largely be silent in the coming week, at least as it relates to actual on-field developments.

Off the field, though, teams will still be working. Quality free agents remain unsigned. The trade market is still open for business, as was made quite clear earlier this month.

June 1 brought two blockbuster trades, as the New England Patriots acquired receiver A.J. Brown and the Los Angeles Rams acquired reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Myles Garrett.

Even though we're highly unlikely to see any more blockbuster trades on the level of the Brown and Garrett trades, there's a good chance that we'll see a few more deals before training camps get underway in late July.

Here, you'll find our updated list of offseason trade targets, ranked based on upside, past production, positional value, contract/cap implications, likely availability, projected price point, and any relevant buzz.

We'll also project trade values based on factors such as position, player upside, player age, and any comparable deals, while providing some logical suitors for each player on our list.

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2027 6th-Round Pick

June 1 was an important date for the Philadelphia Eagles and A.J. Brown. Players released or traded after June 1 can have the dead money on their contracts prorated over the next two seasons instead of the upcoming one, which is precisely why Brown wasn't traded earlier in the offseason.

Now that June 1 has passed, trading running back Alvin Kamara would make a lot more sense for the New Orleans Saints. New Orleans can now save $3.4 million, while trading him before June 1 would have cost $4.8 million in additional cap space.

Why would the Saints part with a five-time Pro Bowler and viable three-down threat? Well, the simple answer is that Kamara is 30 years old, and New Orleans added his replacement by signing Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency. The Saints may be willing to use Kamara as a depth piece, and they hinted at that during organized team activities (OTAs).

"He's on the roster and we're excited about him and he's been preparing the right way and I'm excited to get him in the fold with Travis," head coach Kellen Moore said, per ESPN's Katherine Terrell.

However, Kamara may be more valuable to a legitimate contender in need of a complementary receiving back.

Potential Suitors: Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers

9. Anthony Richardson, QB, Indianapolis Colts

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2027 5th-Round pick

The Indianapolis Colts signaled that they're turning the page on 2023 first-round pick Anthony Richardson when they signed Daniel Jones to a two-year, $88 million extension this offseason. However, this doesn't mean that Indy doesn't have a need for Richardson right now.

With Jones working his way back from a torn Achilles, Richardson has value as an insurance policy.

Of course, NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reported back in February that the Colts and Richardson "mutually agreed" to seek a trade, so it's quite likely that the quarterback can be had for a respectable offer.

However, there just aren't likely to be many teams in need of a talented but disappointing (to this point) former first-round quarterback. The draft has passed, starting-caliber veterans are off the market, and Brendan Sorsby's foray into the supplemental draft puts another intriguing developmental prospect on the proverbial table.

Still, Richardson should interest teams that need a long-term backup or future starter and that aren't willing to make a bid on Sorsby.

Potential Suitors: Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings

8. Josh Sweat, Edge, Arizona Cardinals

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2027 3rd-Round Pick

Garrett probably won't be the last edge-defender traded this offseason because, well, the Los Angeles Rams weren't the only team looking to bolster its pass rush.

Teams looking to improve their defense should call the Arizona Cardinals about Josh Sweat, who may be looking for a change of scenery. Last month, Cardinals insider Kyle Odegard reported that he had "been hearing for awhile" that he "is not particularly happy" in Arizona.

Now, it must be noted that the Cardinals have publicly pushed back against the idea of trading Sweat.

"Sweat is not being traded. Not to the Packers or anywhere," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport posted on X. "Carry on..."

It's also worth noting that public stances can't be taken at face value. The Cleveland Browns publicly declared that they wouldn't trade Garrett until they found an offer that changed their mind. Teams may have to overpay a bit to land Sweat, but those seeking pass-rush help should inquire.

Potential Suitors: Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers

7. Alex Highsmith, Edge, Pittsburgh Steelers

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2027 3rd-Round Pick, Veteran Player

To be clear, there hasn't been any real trade buzz involving Pittsburgh Steelers edge-defender Alex Highsmith. The Steelers won't have any interest in moving the 28-year-old at a bargain price—not as long as they believe they can contend with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, anyway.

However, a strong offer should at least generate some interest in Pittsburgh.

Highsmith is signed for two more years, and he's about to be on the pricier side for Pittsburgh with cap hits above $20 million in 2026 and 2027. Now that June 1 has passed, the Steelers could save $14.5 million in 2026 cap space by trading him.

The Steelers could also be willing to part with Highsmith after locking up fellow edge-rusher Nick Herbig with a four-year, $100 million extension. They could also consider moving T.J. Watt and keeping Herbig and Highsmith as their long-term pass-rushers, but the window to get quality value for Watt may have closed when Garrett was traded.

For Pittsburgh, Highsmith is the most sensible trade candidate of the three, though it would probably take a Day 2 pick and more—possibly another receiver to help Rodgers—to land him.

Potential Suitors: Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers

6. Brandon Aiyuk, WR, San Francisco 49ers

Projected Trade Value: 2028 7th-Round Pick

If a team wants to add San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk, it can likely do so at a bargain price. His relationship with the 49ers soured last offseason amid his recovery from a season-ending 2024 knee injury. San Francisco voided Aiyuk's 2026 guarantees and had made it clear that he's on the trade market.

"We're available. Give us a call," general manager John Lynch told reporters in his post-draft press conference."

Trading Aiyuk is now more financially feasible for the 49ers, too, as moving him before June 1 would have cost $19.9 million in additional 2026 cap space.

The question is whether any teams will be truly interested in Aiyuk, even at a bargain price. It remains unclear just how Aiyuk's recovery has progressed, and he didn't exactly paint himself as a positive influence when he publicly attacked the 49ers earlier this month.

They mad 'cause they stupid. They dumb," Aiyuk said in an Instagram video (h/t NFL.com's Grant Gordon).

"We don't need that here," one unnamed NFL executive said of Aiyuk, per SportsBoom's Jason La Canfora.

If a team is willing to take a chance on Aiyuk, it'll be getting a player who topped 1,300 yards in 2023 and who is still just 28 years old.

Potential Suitors: Miami Dolphins, Washington Commanders

5. Joshua Palmer, WR, Buffalo Bills

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2027 6th-Round Pick

The Buffalo Bills appear to have missed when they signed Joshua Palmer to a three-year, $29 million contract last offseason. Palmer was limited by ankle and knee injuries, and he did have some bright moments, but the 26-year-old's production never quite matched his price point.

Palmer recorded a career-low 303 receiving yards in 2025.

Now that the Bills have added D.J. Moore and rookie Skyler Bell, they may be willing to get out from under Palmer's contract. Now that June 1 has passed, Buffalo can save $10.1 million in 2026 cap space by trading him.

And while Palmer's 2025 season with the Bills was underwhelming, he'd still have value to another receiver-needy team. He averaged more than 500 receiving yards during his four seasons as a complementary target with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Teams looking for a young contributor should be interested.

Potential Suitors: Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins

4. Maxx Crosby, Edge, Las Vegas Raiders

Projected Trade Value: 2027 1st-Round Pick, 2028 1st-Round Pick

In terms of talent alone, Las Vegas Raiders edge-rusher Maxx Crosby would be an easy pick for our No. 1 spot. However, the Raiders appear to be perfectly content hanging onto Crosby after his trade to the Baltimore Ravens was voided by a failed physical.

Keeping Crosby and allowing him to help jump-start the latest rebuild alongside No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza would make plenty of sense for Las Vegas.

However, this doesn't mean that the Raiders won't again consider dealing the 28-year-old or that other teams shouldn't come calling. According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, Crosby is likely to draw renewed interest later in the summer.

"I wouldn't expect Crosby trade talk to heat up again until he gets on a field and shows he's healthy," Graziano wrote. "And from everything I've been told, that could be in August or later."

Any team interested in adding Crosby would, of course, have to be comfortable with his medical situation. It would probably also need to match Baltimore's offer of two first-round picks.

Potential Suitors: Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys

3. Cole Kmet, TE, Chicago Bears

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2027 4th-Round Pick or Veteran Defender

The Chicago Bears won't be eager to move tight end Cole Kmet, especially not after restructuring his contract to better align with his current role. Still, that doesn't mean that Kmet is viewed as a permanent fixture of Chicago's offense.

While Kmet has made 91 starts and tallied just under 3,000 receiving yards in six seasons with the Bears, his time in Chicago could be nearing its end.

The longtime starter lost the TE1 role to Colston Loveland last season, and the Bears just added another tight end in rookie third-round pick Sam Roush. While Kmet can be a valuable role player in 2026, trading him could also help Chicago address a position of greater need.

Trading Kmet before June 1 would have cost Chicago $4.1 million in additional 2026 cap space and would now save $1.4 million in space.

Teams seeking a quality pass-catching tight end should make a few calls to the Bears in the coming weeks, especially if they're willing to part with a defensive back or edge-rusher who can help Chicago's ongoing defensive rebuild.

Potential Suitors: Carolina Panthers, Kansas City Chiefs

2. Kayshon Boutte, WR, New England Patriots

Projected Trade Value: 2027 5th-Round Pick

The New England Patriots added their new No. 1 receiver when they acquired A.J. Brown from the Eagles. They also added Romeo Doubs in free agency, which leaves plenty of uncertainty around the future of Kayshon Boutte.

Boutte is entering the final year of his rookie deal, and it feels increasingly unlikely that his future will be in New England.

According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, New England has "received calls on Boutte and likely will continue to do so."

According to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, New England is hoping to get a third-round pick in exchange for Boutte. At that price, Boutte would be a tremendous value for a receiver-needy team.

The LSU product has topped 500 receiving yards in each of the last two seasons, and at just 24 years old, he may not be close to reaching his NFL ceiling. He averaged an impressive 16.7 yards per catch in 2025 while providing a quarterback rating of 133.2 when targeted.

Potential Suitors: Las Vegas Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs

1. Kayvon Thibodeaux, Edge, New York Giants

Projected Trade Value: 2027 2nd-Round Pick

Kayvon Thibodeaux has seemed like a logical trade chip ever since the New York Giants used the fifth overall selection on Ohio State's Arvell Reese. While Reese is perfectly capable of being a top-notch off-ball linebacker in the NFL, his ceiling may be found as an edge-rusher.

With Brian Burns and Abdul Carter also in the fold, Thibodeaux could be the odd man out long-term—and he's entering the final year of his rookie contract.

Now, New York hasn't actively shopped Thibodeaux, and GM Joe Schoen told reporters that the draft-day chatter surrounding the pass-rusher was "not true."

As previously noted, though, what teams say and think regarding trades are two different things. According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, the Giants did engage in trade talks with New Orleans, though their asking price of a second-round pick was something the Saints weren't willing to meet.

It's hard to imagine that New York wouldn't consider moving Thibodeaux for a fair offer, especially with Reese now on board and with the Giants set to save $14.8 million by trading Thibodeaux.

Prying Thibodeaux away from New York won't be cheap. But the 25-year-old has one double-digit sack campaign on his resume and is just entering his playing prime.

Potential Suitors: Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers
