NFL trade deadline 2026: Ranking 20 players who could have the biggest impact if dealt
The NFL trade deadline looms as teams weigh whether to hold steady, sell assets, or make bold acquisitions. The Philadelphia Eagles, sitting 2-7 after a loss to the Giants, are reportedly considering moving Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson, whose cap hits will rise to $13.7 million this season and $17.7 million over the final two years of his deal, while he has allowed a sack in each of his four games played and missed time with injury.
Wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, now with the Browns, remains a low‑cost option at $1.5 million base salary through 2027 after falling behind younger backs on the depth chart. Cornerback Riq Woolen, on a one‑year, $15 million contract, is also a potential trade chip as Philadelphia looks to recoup value before free agency, despite allowing a 51% completion rate and a 99.9 passer rating when targeted.
Potential destinations mentioned include the Packers, Patriots, Broncos for Dickerson; the Chiefs, Commanders, Rams for Jeudy; and the Lions, Bills, Panthers for Woolen, highlighting how each player could impact a new team’s roster for the stretch run of 2026.
