What happened: Pro Football Focus (PFF) has released an analysis identifying 15 potential trade candidates as NFL teams prepare for the start of 2026 training camps. The list highlights veteran players and depth pieces whose current roles or contract situations could make them targets for teams seeking late-offseason roster upgrades.

Why it matters: The pre-training camp window is a critical period for front offices to address depth issues or liquidate assets for future draft capital. Organizations with surplus talent at specific positions often look to move assets before the regular season begins to optimize their 53-man rosters and financial flexibility for the 2026 campaign.

What to watch: Expect trade speculation and roster movement to accelerate as teams report to training camp in late July.
