What happened: Pro Football Focus (PFF) has named 15 players as prime trade candidates heading into the 2026 NFL training camp season. The list features marquee names such as Eagles receiver A.J. Brown, Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby, and Saints running back Alvin Kamara, signaling a potential wave of roster churn across the league.

Why it matters: According to PFF, these moves are increasingly viable following the June 1 salary cap designation, which allows teams to better manage dead money hits. Franchises are balancing the value of aging stars against the need for draft capital and salary cap relief as they finalize rosters for the upcoming season.

By the numbers: A.J. Brown posted an 83.4 PFF grade in 2025 despite a career-low 1.96 yards per route run. Alvin Kamara is coming off a career-low 51.7 overall grade, while Maxx Crosby remains a top trade chip after a failed physical scuttled a move to Baltimore earlier this year.

What to watch: NFL training camps are scheduled to open in late July, which will serve as a catalyst for front offices to finalize any significant roster reshuffling. Fans should watch for movement among contending teams looking to bolster depth before the preseason starts.
