NFL Trade Targets: QBs, TEs, CBs, More

About this episode

Adam Schefter from ESPN is highlighting potential trade targets ahead of the 2026 NFL draft, following the Giants trade of Dexter Lawrence. Notable names include quarterbacks Anthony Richardson, Will Levis, and Spencer Rattler, as well as tight end Kyle Pitts, cornerback Kenny Moore II, edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux, wide receivers Keon Coleman and Brandon Aiyuk. Aiyuk, with a high salary and injury history, could be a target for teams looking to acquire draft capital or save on salary. Thibodeaux, despite limited production, could be flipped for draft picks due to his age and impending free agency. Pitts, with a strong 2023 season, may be traded to secure his services before free agency. The Colts are looking to trim cornerback spending, potentially making Moore available. The young quarterbacks face injury concerns and unmet expectations, with the Colts shifting focus to Daniel Jones. Teams are actively positioning for the draft and shaking up the league landscape with trades.

It's April 20th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI tracking teams, players, and standings. Adam Schaefter, for me SPN, is calling out some big trade targets ahead of the 2026 NFL draft right after the Giants shipped off. Dexter Lawrence, we're talking quarterbacks like Anthony Richardson from the Colts, Will Levis of the Titans, and Spencer Ratler with the Saints. Then there's Falcons tied in Kyle Pitts. Colts cornerback, Kenny Moore of the second, Giants' edge-rusher, Kavon Tibido, Bill's receiver, Keon Coleman, and Niners Whiteout, Brandon Ayuk. Ayuk's the one everyone's watching close. The 28-year-old put up back to back 1,000 yard seasons in 2022 and 2023, but he hasn't played since. October 2024, and carries a hefty $30 million average salary. Players might just wait for San Francisco to cut him, or drive a hard deal. Tibido just turned 25, but after eight sacks and 22 games over the last two years, and with

free agency looming, the Giants could, flip him for draft capital during their rebuild. Pitts, on the other hand, balled out with 88 catches, 928 yards, and five scores this year. Yet Atlanta tagged him, and might trade to lock in value before he hits free agency. The Colts are already shopping more to trim their cornerback spending, while those young QBs like Richardson, who's only started 17 games with, 2,400 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 13 picks face injury woes and unmet hype. New signing. Daniel Jones signals in these shifting gears. Keep your eyes peeled on these moves, as teams shuffle for that draft edge, and fresh starts shake up the league landscape.
