Jacksonville GM James Gladstone said the Jaguars haven’t discussed trading Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, who asked for a move amid his $90 million extension; the Giants aren’t interested in dealing him right now, and Giants coach John Harbaugh said they’ll determine whether he’ll be with the team next season.
Patriots are connected to a potential deal for Giants DT Dexter Lawrence after his trade request, with a proposed package reportedly including a first- or second-round pick plus expiring-contract players like Kayshon Boutte or Christian Elliss, aiming to boost the defense now while relying on the draft to fill remaining gaps.
Eagles GM Howie Roseman repeatedly stated that A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles, brushing off trade questions as speculation while post-June 1 trade talk lingers; the team has added WRs Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore to bolster the group, and Brown’s recent production keeps him central to the chatter.
A contract restructuring for Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett, which increases cap flexibility and makes a trade more feasible, has fueled speculation about trade destinations across the NFL—with teams like the Bears, Jaguars, Rams, 49ers, Seahawks, Patriots, Eagles, and Bills mentioned as possibilities—though Cleveland would likely demand significant draft capital and face a major dead-cap hit, keeping a Garrett deal uncertain.
The 49ers are reportedly weighing a long-term trade for Myles Garrett to address an aging roster, a move tied to Browns’ reworked contract that adds cap flexibility through 2030; the piece also analyzes draft prospects Caleb Lomu and Spencer Fano and where they might fit in SF’s plans, including potential selections at 27 or 58.
A speculative piece argues the Buffalo Bills could pursue star edge rusher Myles Garrett in 2026 now that Cleveland restructured his contract to enable a potential post‑June 1 trade; for 2026 Garrett would count about $23.5M on the Browns’ cap if kept, but a late‑summer trade could free roughly $13M in cap space for Cleveland, while Buffalo could absorb an $8.34M cap hit (about $31.5M in cash) if acquired; the trade cost is portrayed as likely starting with three first‑round picks, with other suitors like the Rams, Eagles, and Cowboys also mentioned; Cleveland even floated a hypothetical five‑year draft‑pick window in a proposed rule—readers are invited to discuss the idea in the comments.
Philadelphia’s push for an elite pass rush revives rumors of acquiring Myles Garrett, with Browns’ contract tweaks and potential post-June 1 cap maneuvers making a blockbuster deal plausible and possibly involving A.J. Brown, a multi-pick package, and reshaping NFC East dynamics; the roundup also touches on related Eagles moves, stadium planning, and draft needs.
Denver’s blockbuster acquisition of Jaylen Waddle has intensified questions about Troy Franklin’s role and future. Franklin, a 2024 fourth-round pick who posted 65 receptions, 709 yards and 6 TDs as a rookie, could become trade bait if Denver seeks additional draft capital, though his strong connection with quarterback Bo Nix and his age (25) make a move unlikely unless a favorable offer comes, potentially around the draft. The team’s decision will hinge on how Denver values Franklin as a No. 3 receiver behind Sutton and Waddle and whether a fourth-round pick could be salvaged in a deal.
Reports tie the Rams to trading for Anthony Richardson from the Colts, potentially adding a lottery-ticket QB behind Matthew Stafford. Richardson’s NFL future is uncertain, so L.A. could pursue a modest cost (likely day-three pick plus guaranteed money) in a multi-team rumor list that also includes the Buccaneers, Chiefs, Lions, Packers, and Ravens. The Rams currently lack a clear backup beyond Stetson Bennett, and Jimmy Garoppolo remains a free agent who could return, but the deal remains speculative.
Per Dianna Russini, the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams are making “strong pushes” to trade for Eagles WR A.J. Brown, with heavy interest and a reportedly high asking price; no deal yet as free agency looms and other teams previously linked to Brown weigh their options.
Philadelphia Eagles have halted trade discussions for wide receiver A.J. Brown; no deal is imminent with the Rams or Patriots, and any movement is expected to surface closer to June 1 due to Brown’s contract and potential dead-cap considerations, while Dallas Goedert’s extension negotiations continue.
Trade chatter surrounds Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown as the Rams and Broncos reportedly express interest and discussions continue, though no deal has materialized. The Eagles would weigh strong offers if they come, with other teams like the Patriots also linked to potential negotiations.
NFL insider Brian Baldinger reawakened talk of a potential A.J. Brown trade to the Denver Broncos, noting there could be mutual interest but no active talks and that Philly would demand a fair price. The market may be cooling after the Patriots signed Romeo Doubs, which could limit Howie Roseman’s bargaining power. With Denver delaying free-agent moves and the Eagles not in a rush to deal Brown, any deal could spill into the NFL draft and beyond, keeping Broncos fans waiting for a big splash.
Former Bengal Pacman Jones claimed on social media that the Bengals are exploring a trade with the Raiders to acquire Maxx Crosby, but the claim is unverified and viewed skeptically given Jones’s unclear sources and Cincinnati’s history with big‑name signings.
Buffalo reportedly pursued Las Vegas edge Maxx Crosby at the NFL combine, driving up the price, but a late first‑round pick for Buffalo wasn’t enough to land him, so the Bills bowed out and will pivot to defensive upgrades in free agency.
