​Trading places.It’s the defining feature of the NFL offseason, when free agency, the draft and trades take centerstage. Unlike other leagues, player movement tends to settle down once the NFL season begins. For the most part, trade deadline is dull and lacks the truly jaw-dropping deals that light up social media.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe NFL deadline changed some of that in 2025 when players like Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams were shockingly dealt by the New York Jets. However, that is the exception and not the rule. Does it signal a changing of the guard? A new philosophy taking over NFL front offices?Maybe.If nothing else, contracts will expire after the season and players will hit free agency like they always do. That opens the door for some trades to take place ahead of the trade deadline, which is set for Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET. It leaves plenty of time for teams to make things happen – especially with some big names facing some uncertain futures.Anything can happen between now and then, but here are 13 names that could shake up the NFL trade deadline in 2026:1 / 4OT Tytus Howard: Traded to Cleveland Browns (previous team: Houston Texans)(Troy Taormina, Imagn Images)The Cardinals, barring a miracle, won’t be a playoff contender this season. They already have Gardner Minshew and drafted Carson Beck. At some point, Arizona will want to see what they have in the youngster before potentially selecting a new quarterback in next year’s draft. That makes Brissett expendable, especially when injuries inevitably complicate another team’s situation.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementKyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy block Wentz’s path to playing time. A team interested in Brissett could also have some interest in Wentz as a veteran quarterback that might be capable of stabilizing a team for a few weeks.QB HOT SEATS: Who is facing most pressure to deliver?Taylor is on an expiring contract and could be a big trade deadline chip for Indianapolis. It remains to be seen how much, if at all, the Colts improved this offseason and the team is famously without a first-round pick in the upcoming draft. Taylor almost certainly wouldn’t fetch that kind of haul, but adding draft capital should be a priority. At the very least, paying a soon-to-be 28-year-old running back over $15 million per year isn’t raising the team’s ceiling to a Super Bowl contender as currently constructed.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementConner’s name has been in trade rumors ever since Jeremiyah Love’s name was called during the 2026 NFL Draft. There’s no reason to believe that will change anytime soon.Kamara could’ve been on the move last season, but threatened to retire if a deal happened. Will he have a change of heart with Travis Etienne Jr. potentially taking over his role on the team? A contender might believe that Kamara has enough left in the tank to make an impact if he’s open to the idea.There is no extension coming for Pickens this seaso
