Every trade and signing calls take
301–325 of 974
Nick Mullens to move to Jacksonville Jaguars
it feels like a realistic scenario that the Jaguars would sign Mullens to another similar two-year, $4.5 million deal like he signed with them last March
Christian Gonzalez to move to New England Patriots
At some point this summer, the cornerback will agree to terms with his long-awaited contract extension... Regardless, I predict that Gonzalez heads into Week 1 with some heavier pockets.
Aaron Rodgers to move
You get to the trade deadline, you can have Aaron Rodgers maybe asking to go somewhere that may need a quarterback. Some contender that may need a quarterback
Maxx Crosby to move to Las Vegas Raiders
"I don't think he's finishing the season with the Raiders. So if he has a good September and is healthy, he gets traded for one first-round pick instead of two to a team that starts hot," Parkins said
Anthony Richardson to move
The physical traits will convince another NFL team to take a chance when the Colts move on
J.J. McCarthy to move
I would not be shocked if at some point pre trade deadline, JJ McCarthy has moved Chargers. Who knows.
- PendingDaire CarragherTrade and Signing Calls
Aaron Donald to move to Los Angeles Rams
his comeback to the Rams appears increasingly plausible as the regular season approaches... The ideal scenario for both Donald and Los Angeles is likely for him to rejoin the team in some capacity between now and the Rams' mid-November bye week
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 11, 2026 George Pickens to move to Dallas Cowboys
the Cowboys will likely end up either tagging and trading Pickens or allowing him to walk in free agency in exchange for a third-round compensatory draft pick
Drew Lock to move to Detroit Lions
That being said, Lock is still a pretty strong insurance plan, and it might make sense for the Lions to make a move.
- PendingKristopher KnoxTrade and Signing Calls
T.J. Smith to move to Cincinnati Bengals
the Bengals could and should look to trade away veteran defensive tackle T.J. Slaton ahead of Week 1
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 10, 2026 Aaron Donald to move to Los Angeles Rams
My prediction was that he would make the announcement between Aug. 9 and Aug. 16. If you look at everything that's happened with Donald in the month of August, all signs are pointing to a return.
Aaron Donald to move to Los Angeles Rams
We're sitting here waiting for Aaron Donald to make the obvious occur... So Donald may be back by the time people consume this portion... We all expect it to happen.
Trey Benson to move to Green Bay Packers
we could see a trade between brothers that sends Benson to the Green Bay Packers
Anthony Richardson to move
If I know you got to get rid of something, why am I going to offer you anything for it? Just wait till you cut it, and would take my chances in the what you call him in the line... I'm not fit to give you anything.
Josh Sweat to move to Arizona Cardinals
Down The Road: Josh Sweat ... This wouldn't be until after the 2026 season, though if we're projecting trade candidates, this might be Arizona's strongest bet ... that tone could change in 2027.
Gardner Minshew to move to Arizona Cardinals
Later: Gardner Minshew ... making him a strong candidate to play this season — and Minshew an even stronger candidate to be traded.
Trey Benson to move to Arizona Cardinals
One candidate to be traded now (preseason)... Now: Trey Benson ... The Cardinals would be wise to field offers on Benson and recoup something rather than flat-out cutting him ahead of the regular season.

Kyle Trask to move to Carolina Panthers
Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer reports that they will sign Kyle Trask. Trask recently worked out for the team.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 8, 2026 - PendingAdam AuslundTrade and Signing Calls
Aaron Donald to move
can we stop with The Aaron donald. Charade we all know he's coming. Back
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 8, 2026 Zach Ertz to move to Green Bay Packers
I'd sign Zach Ertz. Here are five available veterans who could help the Packers.

Quenton Nelson to move to Indianapolis Colts
While Taylor received a two-year extension, I believe Nelson's will be four. As for the dollar amount? Don't be shocked if it's around $28-30 million annually, with plenty of dough guaranteed. ... There's no chance Indianapolis doesn't ink Nelson to an extension, and when that news breaks, I expect it to make him the highest-paid guard in the league.
Quenton NelsonIndianapolis Colts
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 7, 2026 Aaron Donald to move to Los Angeles Rams
BREECH PREDICTION: With all of that in mind, this seems to set up a situation where Donald returns between Aug. 9-16. ... If I were going to predict an exact date, I'd probably go with Aug. 10.
Aaron Donald to move to Los Angeles Rams
Carthon predicted that Donald might wait to return until AFTER the season starts. "I don't know that we see him early in September" ... "I think, if the season is going well, we'll see him, let's call it the middle of September, early October."
Jahmyr Gibbs to move
That's not even to mention Jahmyr Gibbs, who is likely to sign his own historic contract sometime this offseason.
D'Andre Swift to move to Chicago Bears
this upward trend for running back contracts will likely force the Bears into a split from D'Andre Swift after this season ... He's earned a payday that the Bears likely can't afford, which will drive him into free agency.
