The most fun parts of the 2026 NFL Offseason are over at this point, as free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft are in the books. However, there is still time for some major trade fireworks to go down, especially after June 1st, as that is typically when contracts become more financially suitable to be traded.
Even with May right around the corner, there are some players scattered throughout the league who could be on the move for the right price, and given how many high-profile trades have gone down in recent years, most players do indeed have a price that a team will part with them for.
With the offseason rolling on, let's dig into a handful of players who could still be traded for and truly shake up the league this offseason.
Major remaining trade candidates as the 2026 NFL Offseason rolls on
AJ Brown, WR, Philadelphia Eagles
The AJ Brown trade saga continues, and it does seem like Brown could be dealt to the New England Patriots after that June 1st date to reunite with Mike Vrabel, his former head coach with the Tennessee Titans.
Brown was drafted by the Titans and was sent to the Philadelphia Eagles about four years ago in a move that just did not seem popular at the time, and for the Titans, it has truly aged like milk. Given Brown's obvious frustation with his role, and the Eagles not having a quarterback who can consistently throw the ball, a trade is likely going down.
And if that does indeed happen and nothing falls through, Brown would be poised to join a Patriots team that not only cut Stefon Diggs earlier this offseason, but then signed Romeo Doubs. A potential wide receiver room featuring Brown and Doubs would be one of the better duos in the NFL, and it would be yet another major trade that an AFC team makes this offseason.
Brandon Aiyuk, WR, San Francisco 49ers
The Brandon Aiyuk saga continues, and this has just been an insanely interesting situation. For a while now, it's felt like if Aiyuk gets traded, it would be to the Washington Commanders, where he'd reunite with Jayden Daniels, his college teammate.
The Commanders also do have a need for another wide receiver and have gotten aggressive this offseason in adding loads of talent in free agency. And all-in Aiyuk, perhaps on Washington, would give the Commanders yet another talent boost as they continue the quest to build off the success back in 2024.
Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints
With Travis Etienne signing with the New Orleans Saints this past offseason, it is hard to envision how Alvin Kamara fits into the Saints running back room. One of the best dual-threat running backs of this generation, Kamara would still have value as a second or third option on a team.
Any team that could use another weapon in the backfield, perhaps the Los Angeles Chargers or even Buffalo Bills, would benefit from adding Kamara into the mix. It's also worth wondering if, in an event of a trade, Kamara has a desire to only play for a legitimate contender.
Given that he could be in the final couple seasons of his career, Kamara could take matters into his own hands and 'suggest' some potential landing spots, as he's clearly not fitting into the Saints plans.
DK Metcalf, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers
What's really interesting about DK Metcalf and the Pittsburgh Steelers is that, despite Metcalf being on a major contract, he has no more guaranteed dollars left on the deal. The Steelers swung a trade for Michael Pittman Jr. this offseason and took Germie Bernard in the NFL Draft.
A potential duo of Metcalf and Pittman would be one of the more physically imposing rooms in the league, but there doesn't seem to be any indication that Pittsburgh would want to tweak Metcalf's deal, especially after he failed to hit 1,000 receiving yards in 2025.
If a wide receiver-needy team comes calling, the Steelers might have to pull the trigger, especially if Aaron Rodgers does not return, as their chances of success in 2026 would proceed to go down the drain.
