With the start of the 2025 NFL regular season roughly a month away, most teams are focused on making the most of their current rosters. As practices and preseason games progress, however, some teams will inevitably decide that their current rosters aren’t good enough.
Between now and August 26 roster cuts, some teams will look to plug glaring roster holes or offload contracts via the trade market.
In other words, the trade frenzy that we’ve seen this offseason—with notable players like Geno Smith, DK Metcalf, Deebo Samuel, Laremy Tunsil and George Pickens on the move—probably isn’t over just yet.
While late-preseason trades aren’t always of the headline-grabbing variety, they do occur. Back in 2019, for example, the Houston Texans dealt franchise-tagged pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks on August 31.
There are no disgruntled franchise-tagged players who could be dealt this offseason, but a few very notable players could, theoretically, still be on the move. Here, we’ll examine the top remaining trade candidates, who could be interested and how a blockbuster trade might look.
