Teams across the league continue to evaluate rosters following the recent NFL Draft, leading to speculation regarding potential player movement through trades. The period between the draft and the start of training camps often presents opportunities for clubs to address lingering needs or adjust personnel outlooks.
Recent reports indicate several players could be targets in the active trade market. Among the most discussed possibilities is wide receiver George Pickens. The Dallas Cowboys, reportedly seeking help at the position after the draft, are a team linked to Pickens. His situation with the Pittsburgh Steelers has drawn attention, particularly following the Steelers acquiring wide receiver DK Metcalf.
Another prominent name surfacing in potential player trades is cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Already traded multiple times in his career, Ramsey's time with the Miami Dolphins may be nearing an end. Reports suggest he desires a new team. The Los Angeles Rams, a former team of Ramsey, are seen as a possible destination needing help in their secondary.
The quarterback position could also see changes via trade. Quarterback Kirk Cousins is a name mentioned in connection with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers face questions regarding their quarterback depth. The Atlanta Falcons could potentially move Cousins, especially after June 1, allowing them to manage salary cap implications.
In the backfield, running back Breece Hall of the New York Jets is another player identified as a potential trade candidate. Hall is entering the final year of his current contract. Given the Jets' need to manage finances for other players, a veteran RB trade involving Hall is seen as possible. The Denver Broncos are a team mentioned with a need for a boost in their running back room.
Beyond these specific scenarios, other notable players might become available on the trade block as teams finalize rosters. This group could include cornerback Jaire Alexander of the Green Bay Packers, where contract discussions have stalled. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill of the Dolphins is another player speculated to seek new scenery, though his age and cap figure present challenges for a trade deal.
Defensive end Trey Hendrickson of the Cincinnati Bengals has also been mentioned. While the Bengals prefer to keep him, his status could change if his reported unhappiness persists into training camp. Wide receiver Adam Thielen of the Carolina Panthers faces a crowded receiver room after Carolina's draft and free agency moves, making a trade possible for a contender seeking a third receiving option.
The coming weeks leading up to training camps will determine if these discussions translate into major trades. Teams continue to assess player value and fit, keeping the possibility of significant roster adjustments open.
