What happened: The request followed stalled extension talks as the defensive tackle enters the final year of his contract. He is expected at training camp, with his participation undetermined.

Why it matters: A move would give Los Angeles an established run defender before the 2026 season. Any acquisition could also require a long-term extension beyond the trade compensation.

By the numbers: He recorded 34 tackles, 4.5 sacks and 13 quarterback hits across 17 games in 2025. His 2026 salary is $18 million.

What to watch: Watch whether extension talks restart or trade discussions advance during training camp.
