Next offseason could bring some massive change for certain teams, as it feels like major trades are becoming more and more common in today's NFL. Last offseason saw the Dallas Cowboys trading Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, and even during the NFL Trade Deadline, top players like Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner were dealt.
When the offseason rolls around, there are bound to be some major trades that shock the NFL world, and we could see some notable players that would require a first-round pick and perhaps more to be on the move.
We looked at three big-name players who could be on the move for at least a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Offseason.
These three players might get dealt for a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Offseason
Maxx Crosby, EDGE, Las Vegas Raiders
Maxx Crosby has been with the Las Vegas Raiders since 2020 and has played in 108 regular season games for the team, amassing 68.5 sacks, 429 total tackles, 130 tackles for loss, and 162 QB hits. He averages 20 tackles for loss and 26 QB hits per 17-game season, so he's simply a productive player at a position of need.
And I am sure Crosby expected a lot more success this year since the Raiders brought in a winning coach in Pete Carroll and a QB in Geno Smith who had previous years of being productive.
That simply has not been the case, and with Crosby slowly creeping toward 30 years old, he might be fed up and could simply be out of patience. The Raiders' roster, even with Crosby in the mix, is bad, and the front office could likely get multiple first-round picks for Maxx Crosby in a deal.
Those first-round picks could probably do more for the franchise long-term than Crosby is now, as the Raiders aren't maximizing the era they have had with him.
A Maxx Crosby trade feels somewhat likely.
Drake London, WR, Atlanta Falcons
Drake London is in his fourth year with the Atlanta Falcons and has averaged 65.3 yards per game across his career, but is averaging a career-high 90 yards per game here in the 2025 NFL Season.
The main issue with the Atlanta Falcons is that they do not have a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and with there being a chance that GM Terry Fontenot is not brought back, the new regime would want to get back into the first round.
Well, someone who could help them do that is London, who is still in his age-24 season and who is a legitimate WR1 in this league. There have also been some major WR trades in recent NFL history, so a move like this for a great player would not at all be unprecedented.
With NFL defenses trying to take away the big play, getting a big play on offense could really help that. London had a career-high 1,271 yards and nine touchdowns in the 2024 NFL Season and had missed just one game in his career before 2025.
Jaylen Waddle, WR, Miami Dolphins
Recently turning 27 years old, it seemed like there was a shot that Jaylen Waddle was going to get moved at the NFL Trade Deadline earlier this year, but it did not happen Waddle has 812 yards and six touchdowns through 13 games this year and has averaged 1,120 yards per 17-game season across his five-year career.
He's on pace to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark for the fourth time in his five years in the NFL and still has a bit of youth on his side. Waddle is a speedster who can take the top off defenses and would fit well on a team like the Denver Broncos, who do not have a WR nearly as good as Waddle.
Both London and Waddle could likely be had for first-round picks, but a trade for Maxx Crosby could cost a first-round pick plus other NFL Draft capital.
