2026 NFL offseason: Trade proposals that fit for both teams
"We're less than a month from the start of the new NFL league year in early March, when we usually see the juiciest trades. Today, I'll put together 11 trade proposals, which involve veterans, that might make sense for both sides. You shouldn't be surprised -- the only thing I love more than a real trade is a mock one.

"Arizona's problem, as it tries to land a meaningful trade return for its quarterback, is that there aren't many suitors for Murray because he will make more than $78 million between 2026 and 2027 before an opening to move on from his deal emerges in 2028. The Vikings aren't in great salary cap shape. The Browns probably can't afford to pay Murray and Deshaun Watson at the same time."
With the new NFL league year approaching, teams often execute notable trades. Eleven veteran trade proposals focus on players likely to be traded before free agency or as cap casualties, using historical trade returns to estimate fair value while acknowledging outliers like DeAndre Hopkins and Quinnen Williams. Most proposed deals emphasize exchanges of draft capital. One example sends Kyler Murray to the Jets for mid-round draft compensation, noting limited suitor options driven by Murray's large future salary, team cap situations, and schematic fit concerns for several potential landing spots.
