Trade candidates

The Titans may not be overly eager to part with their best player. This roster needs more players like Simmons, not less. But with Tennessee's full-scale rebuild likely to require a multi-year process, it's possible that he becomes available. A contending team would happily part with premium assets to get an elite interior lineman with two years remaining on his contract.

The Bengals have declined to meet Hendrickson's asking price on a long-term deal for multiple years running. There's no reason to think that's going to change now. Cincinnati would be wise to get something for the standout defensive end before he hits free agency in March. Teams won't be shy about paying up for a proven pass-rusher coming off back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons.

The Jets probably shouldn't trade Williams if they plan on winning any time soon. If they're realistic about where things stand, though, perhaps they'll be open to fielding offers. The three-time Pro Bowler and former first-team All-Pro could command quite the haul of draft picks.

Olave still has true No. 1 receiver potential, but he's not quite there yet. That could complicate contract talks as the Saints look ahead to the offseason. As much as New Orleans could use a player like him long term, the number of contenders in need of receiver help could produce some tempting offers.

Johnson, like Williams, should probably remain a foundational piece for the future of the Jets' defense. Extending the former first-round pick ahead of his fifth-year option season would be the smarter move. But teams will be sniffing around this situation, and it's possible New York opts to collect as many premium picks as possible.

Fitzpatrick going back to the Dolphins in the Jalen Ramsey trade was a fun offseason story, but Miami's season is quickly going off the rails. The veteran safety is one of several players who could net the organization meaningful assets in a trade. The Dolphins will need all the picks they can get if they're going to rebuild this thing the right way.

Chubb has been slow to regain his previous form after missing the 2024 campaign with a torn ACL, but established pass-rushers will always draw interest. And with an offseason pay cut having slashed his cap number for this year, even the most cash-strapped contenders can get in the mix.

Meyers requested a trade in August when it became clear that extension talks weren't going anywhere. The Raiders resisted at the time, intending to have the veteran play out the last year of his contract, but that no longer seems necessary. There should be plenty of buyers in the receiver market, and Las Vegas should be happy to add a draft pick with another season going down the drain.

Rumors of a Hall trade extend back to the spring. Nothing materialized then, and the former second-rounder ended up holding off Braelon Allen for the starting job, but the Jets' season is now all but over. It seems likely he'll be traded to a team in need of a running back before he walks away for nothing in free agency come March.

Many considered Thibodeaux a potential trade candidate when the Giants drafted Abdul Carter to play opposite Brian Burns. New York passed on any such options at the time, instead opting to roll with a three-headed monster on the edge, but now might be a good time to reassess. The front office could get creative in shopping the former first-rounder for another player who can grow alongside Jaxson Dart and the rest of this exciting, young core.

It's tough to imagine Kamara playing in another uniform. The Saints have to let go of their aging veterans at some point, though, and there's enough demand for running back help that they may even end up getting decent value.

Davis is probably the most likely player to be traded out of New Orleans. Even at 36 years old, the impending free-agent linebacker could be a major upgrade for teams looking to improve their run defense.

Andrews ended up sticking in Baltimore despite some offseason trade rumors. The Ravens may not be packing it in after their slow start, but the healthy return of Isaiah Likely does present an opportunity to get something for their longtime tight end before he hits free agency. Like the Oweh-Gilman trade, perhaps Andrews could be flipped for a player who helps the Ravens at another position of need.

Campbell is somehow still playing at a high level at 39 years old. His return to Arizona was about finishing his pro career where it started, so it's possible no trade is on the table here. If he decides to take one last swing at a Super Bowl, though, there will be plenty of interested suitors who might give him that opportunity.

The Seahawks are by no means a seller. Rather, their current trajectory could lead them to become an aggressive buyer at the deadline. Rumors about Woolen's availability suggest he's not seen as a long-term fit in Mike Macdonald's defense. Could he be traded for a player who is?

There are no shortage of contenders who could find themselves in the market for linebacker help. Brooks being under contract through 2026 at a relatively affordable price tag could net the Dolphins a decent return.

Shaheed has been one of the NFL's best big-play receivers for several years. Now in the midst of a career-best season as a more well-rounded target, he'll draw plenty of interest as the Saints gear up to sell.

Phillips has shown flashes of the unique pass-rush traits that made him a first-rounder back in 2021, but injuries have prevented him from putting it all together for consistent production. Teams looking for juice off the edge could get a steal if better luck lies ahead.

Williams hasn't quite sustained the level of play that earned him first-team All-Pro honors in 2023, but that was always going to be a high bar. He's still an impactful starter whose three-down skill set can help a contender.

Bitonio is probably nearing the end of his career at 34 years old. And who knows? Maybe he wants to follow the Joe Thomas path and ride out the whole thing in Cleveland. If he's open to joining a playoff team, there are many who could use the assistance up front.

There's something to be said for the Browns not tearing apart the offensive line, even if they aren't going anywhere this season. Teams will come calling for Teller, though, and it might make sense to get something back for him before he reaches free agency.

Njoku has played his entire nine-year career in Cleveland. The impending free agent has become a particularly impactful receiver over the last three seasons, but the Browns are turning the page to a future star in third-round rookie Harold Fannin Jr.

Taylor has proven to be a capable cover man in the slot and on the boundary. That versatility makes him a fit for a number of cornerback-needy teams if the Saints decide they won't extend him before next year.

Diggs has battled injuries and inconsistent play over the last few years. It seems possible the Cowboys move on as a result. While scheme fit will be important, the rare playmaking traits that produced an 11-interception season in 2021 will be worth a gamble.

Sneed didn't live up to expectations after joining the Titans in a trade from the Chiefs in 2024. Injuries limited him to six games last year, but he hasn't been the same player when on the field either. Could a change of scenery help him recapture his previous form?

Zeitler figures to be an especially valuable trade chip with so many contenders looking for reinforcements on the offensive line. The question is whether the Titans are willing to subtract from that group at such a crucial stage of Cam Ward's development.

Douglas might be the most obvious of the Dolphins' many trade chips. The veteran corner has previous experience with deadline deals, going from Green Bay to Buffalo in 2023, and his minimal salary will be easy for any contender to absorb.

The Titans may want to see what Tyjae Spears can do in a featured role now that he's back from his preseason ankle injury. Pollard could be a valuable addition to another team's backfield rotation.

Koonce took a one-year deal to stay in Las Vegas after missing all of last season with a torn ACL. The production hasn't been there yet this year, but it's worth a gamble to see if he can ramp up to the level that helped him generate six sacks in the last four games of 2023.

Simpson, a free agent in March, is the lone expendable member of New York's starting offensive line. A competitive market for upgrades at guard could see him included in a potential Jets fire sale.
