NFL Trade Rumors
One of the best resources we have here at NFL Trade Rumors, in my opinion, is this trade block piece that we keep updated at various points throughout the year. Compiled by sifting through national and beat reporting, depth charts and a big dash of experience-driven dot connecting, this feature has a strong track record of identifying future trade candidates — often before they start garnering mainstream attention.
Our last update was on May 18, but since we had a big flurry of moves right at the beginning of June, it’s worth doing another recalibration ahead of training camp. The following is a position-by-position breakdown of which players might be available for trade from each team.
Brissett was at mandatory minicamp to avoid fines, but Arizona’s ostensible starting quarterback still has not taken a rep on the field this spring. The veteran passer is looking for a raise to reflect his status as a starting quarterback. Understandably, the Cardinals don’t want to pay Brissett more than they have to when they already seem to be looking ahead to 2027. If Arizona had the option to sim through this whole season and skip ahead, I’m sure they would. The Cardinals do have alternatives at quarterback, and I get the sense that Brissett wouldn’t be particularly heartbroken if he ended up somewhere else.
Richardson returned to the team and the two sides for now seem to be forging ahead for the last year of his rookie contract. Notably, though, the former No. 5 pick has not rescinded his trade request. For now, the market has been cooled by questions about Richardson’s health and his $5 million salary which would be on the premium side for a backup.
The Titans added Mitchell Trubisky and Hendon Hooker to the roster this offseason, so it’s clear they’re ready to move on from Levis if the opportunity arises. It might take until the end of the preseason, however.
McKee lost reps in the spring to veteran QB Andy Dalton, who the Eagles added in a trade from the Panthers. They also drafted fifth-round QB Cole Payton, making it a crowded room. McKee and Dalton are both in contract years, but the former probably has more trade value after some intriguing spot starts and preseason action.
The Browns spent all spring and summer last year insisting they were just fine carrying four quarterbacks on the roster before eventually trading Kenny Pickett…and then Joe Flacco weeks later. So don’t fall for it again this year. Gabriel feels the most expendable of the current quartet and there could be some interest in him since he profiles as a solid backup. It’s notable that the Browns have not ruled out trading Sanders but I still think it’s...
