Reports say the Eagles’ asking price for A.J. Brown is so high it’s described as unserious, with teams like the Patriots showing interest but needing a blockbuster offer; Philly says it’ll listen to trade talks but only for a truly exceptional deal, amid NFL Combine buzz.
Detroit’s pursuit of Maxx Crosby hit a roadblock at the NFL scouting combine as the Raiders reportedly demanded two first‑round picks; with cornerback Terrion Arnold’s development impacting asset decisions, Lions GM Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell signaled openness to a splash move but stressed they must balance immediate contention with future draft assets and positional needs.
The Raiders have been fielding ongoing trade calls on Maxx Crosby, but team officials suggest Crosby will likely stay with Las Vegas for 2026 unless a blockbuster offer materializes; reps may meet with the Raiders in coming days, and Pelissero says a potential trade could come within the next couple of weeks as negotiations unfold.
NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero says the Raiders could trade star edge rusher Maxx Crosby within 7–10 days as teams are calling, even while Crosby recovers from knee/meniscus surgery. The Raiders aren’t initiating trades but will consider offers after Crosby’s reps meet with the club, with speculation that a Super Bowl contender could pry two first-round picks, though no deal is imminent.
The Eagles appear set to pursue a cautious 2026 offseason, targeting free-agent additions that won’t hurt compensatory-pick calculations while keeping their core draft picks and players in place. Howie Roseman emphasized minimizing costly splashes and prioritizing players they’ve drafted; current chatter centers on Reed Blankenship and Nakobe Dean’s futures, potential A.J. Brown trade buzz, and even a hypothetical Tanner McKee–Jets scenario. Philadelphia also hired Sean Mannion as offensive coordinator after a wide-ranging search, with ongoing coaching and staff discussions shaping the plan ahead of the Combine.
With A.J. Brown potentially on the move, this piece ranks 10 plausible destinations—Patriots, Bills, Ravens, Chargers, Dolphins, Steelers, Raiders, Broncos, Colts, and Commanders—explaining why each would fit (or not) and weaving in past trade chatter, cap considerations, and team needs, while noting the Eagles would demand a hefty return.
Windy City Gridiron reports that Las Vegas would demand a package including the Bears’ 2026 first-round pick, a 2027 Day Two pick, and DJ Moore for edge rusher Maxx Crosby, with a potential salary tweak to Moore to around $18 million; there’s no confirmed offer, just price-point discussion on Bears Film Room. Crosby would upgrade the defense but at the cost of draft capital and roster balance, so the smarter Bears move remains to keep drafting rather than make a blockbuster deal.
NFL insider Jay Glazer said in a Yahoo Sports interview that Maxx Crosby is likely done with the Las Vegas Raiders and could fetch more in a trade than the buzz around Micah Parsons; Crosby’s frustration has grown despite elite production (five Pro Bowls and strong sack totals), and the Raiders’ inability to maximize his impact fuels ongoing offseason chatter. Broncos fans would likely cheer a move that could relieve the AFC West threat, but it remains uncertain whether Las Vegas will actually pull the trigger.
Cincinnati should explore trading for Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman as a low-cost, high-upside addition to the WR corps; with a likely price around a sixth-round pick, Coleman would be a cost-controlled two-year veteran ($1.7M in 2026 and $2.1M in 2027 with $1.7M guaranteed) who could serve as a third or fourth option behind Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Andrei Iosivas.
Despite four elite seasons in Philly, A.J. Brown’s happiness appears to be waning, and the Eagles could trade him this offseason; financially the move would save long-term cap space but incur a big dead-money hit, making a second-round pick the likely starting point (with a first possible if milestones are reached). Contending teams would be buyers, and Howie Roseman has signaled openness to moves, suggesting Brown could be sacrificed for a clearer long-term plan as he approaches age 29 and his value declines.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are considering trading for Washington Commanders' star wide receiver Terry McLaurin amid rising tensions and contract disputes in Washington, with the Steelers potentially offering a third-round pick and a Day 3 draft pick in exchange for the talented receiver, who is seeking a lucrative extension similar to DK Metcalf's.
Micah Parsons has requested a trade from the Dallas Cowboys, with the Baltimore Ravens considered a prime candidate to acquire him, potentially involving multiple high draft picks. Despite speculation, it is likely Parsons remains with Dallas, and the Ravens' 2018 draft class has set a record for future contract value. Additionally, Lamar Jackson is praised as the most talented quarterback in the NFL, and Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton has fallen eight spots in the NFL Top 100 rankings.
