2026 NFL Trade Block Big Board Entering Week 6

Another big NFL trade domino dropped over the weekend, as the Arizona Cardinals sent wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Houston Texans. We've now seen a handful of blockbuster in-season deals in 2026, and the trade deadline is still nearly a month away.

Teams have until 4 p.m. ET on November 10 to make deals.

The trade market is already picking up—we also saw the Philadelphia Eagles deal Cam Jurgens last week—and the deals are likely to come in more frequently from here. No team has been mathematically eliminated yet, but three sit at 0-5, a mark from which no franchise has ever made the playoffs.

Here, you'll find an updated look at our top 10 trade candidates, ranked according to factors like past production, upside, positional value, contract/cap implications, projected availability, and any relevant recent rumors.

You'll also find projected trade values based on factors such as position, player upside, player age, and any comparable deals, along with some logical suitors for each player.

10. Donte Jackson, CB, Los Angeles Chargers

Projected Trade Value: 2027 5th-Round Pick

Donte Jackson resides at the bottom of our list because of his health. He's battling a hamstring injury and missed Week 5. He's currently considered week-to-week, according to ESPN's Anthony Gharib .

Teams may not be eager to make a move for Jackson until he's clearly healthy, but he's a player worth targeting before November 10.

The Los Angeles Chargers appear to be going nowhere this season after a 0-5 start and numerous injuries across the roster. Jackson, meanwhile, plays an in-demand position and is set to be a free agent in 2027—trading him would save L.A. $6 million in 2026 cap space.

Jackson started 15 games for the Chargers last season and allowed an opposing passer rating of only 56.8 in coverage. Now that the Pittsburgh Steelers have dealt Joey Porter Jr., Jackson should be a top option for cornerback-needy teams.

Potential Suitors: Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2027 5th-Round Pick

The 0-5 Tennessee Titans are in just as much trouble as the winless Chargers, perhaps even more. While Los Angeles' season has certainly been a disappointment, the Titans have seemed unable to improve for multiple seasons.

More alarmingly, second-year quarterback Cam Ward doesn't appear to be showing the development expected of a former No. 1 overall pick.

Tennessee isn't going to the playoffs this season, and it should be focused on getting more out of Ward before the end of the year. While keeping starting running back Tony Pollard would help support Ward, though, it may be time to move him.

The Titans are playing for their future, and the 29-year-old isn't likely to be a part of it. He's set to be a free agent in the spring, and trading him would save $7.3 million in cap space.

Trading Pollard would also likely bring back additional draft capital. A long list of backfield injuries grew in Week 5, as players like TreVeyon Henderson, Quinshon Judkins, and Will Shipley joined it.

Potential Suitors: Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers

8. Mason Rudolph, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2027 6th-Round Pick

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones lingered on our list for some time because of his status as a top backup and a 2027 free agent. As injuries continue to mount in San Francisco, though, the 49ers become less likely to move their most important depth piece.

Pittsburgh Steelers backup Mason Rudolph, on the other hand, should be available to teams that need backup help. The Steelers kept four quarterbacks on their 53-man roster, with Rudolph, Will Howard, and rookie Drew Allar sitting behind Aaron Rodgers.

It's highly unlikely that Pittsburgh's plan was to keep all four quarterbacks through the trade deadline. In fact, Jason La Canfora of Casino.org reported at the start of the season that the Steelers probably would have dealt Rudolph if there was a stronger quarterback market.

Rudolph won't be valued as a starter the way Jones might be. However, he has 20 career starts (including playoffs) on his resume and should appeal to teams with questionable QB depth.

Potential Suitors: Atlanta Falcons, Washington Commanders

7. Kenneth Gainwell, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Given the aforementioned cascade of 2026 running-back injuries, there should be a fair amount of interest in Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenneth Gainwell. The former Eagles and Steelers backup has long been a capable change-of-pace option.

Gainwell showed last season that he can be a high-volume complementary back, too. While working in tandem with Steelers starter Jaylen Warren, he racked up 187 touches, 1,023 scrimmage yards, and eight touchdowns.

The Bucs signed Gainwell to a two-year, $14 million deal, hoping to form a dangerous tandem with him and Bucky Irving. However, Gainwell simply hasn't carved out a significant role in Zac Robinson's offense.

Tampa leaned heavily on its ground game against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night. Irving unsurprisingly led the charge, but Gainwell saw fewer carries (four) than even Sean Tucker (five). The Buccaneers could probably be convinced to move Gainwell for a reasonable return and $2 million in 2026 cap savings.

Potential Suitors: New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles

The Cleveland Browns may not be as eager to move off of receiver Jerry Jeudy after promising rookie KC Concepcion suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. However, Concepcion and fellow rookie Denzel Boston still represent the future at receiver for Cleveland.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz , it's "pretty well known around the league" that Jeudy is available. Per Schultz, the Browns would prefer to get a third- or fourth-round pick in exchange for the receiver, though that may be difficult.

The 27-year-old struggled through last season and has fallen out of the game plan this year as Concepcion, Boston, and tight end Harold Fannin Jr. have become the go-to targets.

Still, Jeudy is a talented pass-catcher who made the Pro Bowl just two years ago following a 1,229-yard season. His skill set hasn't disappeared, and his 2026 base salary of $1.5 million should appeal to budget-conscious teams.

Potential Suitors: Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles

5. Brian Thomas Jr., WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

Projected Trade Value: 2027 2nd- and 6th-Round Picks

Unlike some other teams on this list, the Jacksonville Jaguars are not struggling. On the contrary, they're sitting at 4-1 with a fairly solid grip on the AFC South.

In his Substack publication The Sweep , NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported that the Jaguars have also shown "no interest" in trading wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.

However, the return that Arizona got for Harrison could change Jacksonville's stance. Thomas was a revelation for the Jaguars as a rookie but has steadily fallen out of the game plan since.

This season, the 2024 first-rounder has caught just nine passes for 105 yards and a touchdown. With rookie receiver Josh Cameron (117 yards, 2 TDs) beginning to gain traction, cashing in Thomas now could make a ton of sense.

The Jags would undoubtedly ask for a similar return to what the Cardinals got for Harrison, and they might just get it. Thomas is still only 24 years old, and he racked up 1,282 yards with 10 touchdowns during his inaugural campaign.

Potential Suitors: Las Vegas Raiders, San Francisco 49ers

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2027 4th-Round Pick

During the offseason, there was some trade chatter surrounding Cardinals pass-rusher Josh Sweat. However, general manager Monti Ossenfort made it clear in August that he had no plans to move the talented defender.

"We're excited to have him, but some of those discussions are going to keep private, but excited to have Josh here. Had a great year last year. Excited for more good things out of him this year," Ossenfort said, per ESPN's Josh Weinfuss .

Of course, Ossenfort made that statement long before the Cardinals opened the season 1-4 and he decided to trade Harrison. Arizona's willingness to trade Harrison makes it reasonable to question whether its stance on Sweat could also change.

The 29-year-old is signed through 2028 but looms as a potential 2027 cap casualty. The Cardinals could release him with a post-June 1 designation in the spring and save $18.1 million in cap space. It could make more sense to trade Sweat, who had 12 sacks last season, well ahead of 2027.

Potential Suitors: Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers

3. Landon Dickerson, G, Philadelphia Eagles

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2027 2nd-Round Pick

Starting Eagles guard Landon Dickerson is certainly a surprise new addition to our board. However, Philly's decision to trade Jurgens also came as a surprise. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter , some around the league believe that Howie Roseman isn't finished moving pieces:

"Accordingly, it would not surprise those in the league if teams start calling on Eagles guard Landon Dickerson when he is healthy enough to return from injured reserve."

Dickerson has been out since he tried to play through a knee injury in Week 1 but landed on injured reserve. He's one of the league's top interior linemen when healthy, and the Eagles certainly won't part with him for proverbial pennies. However, if the buzz indicates that Dickerson could be available, guard-needy teams should be placing calls.

The three-time Pro Bowler just turned 28 years old, and he's under contract through 2028.

Potential Suitors: Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers

The Miami Dolphins remain winless. While they've looked like a scrappy young team that might steal a few victories late in the season, it's been clear since the summer that they are building for 2027 and beyond.

Miami parted with several of its most notable veterans in the offseason, including standout receiver Jaylen Waddle. While the Dolphins don't have many sensible assets left to trade, veteran edge Josh Uche is an option.

Uche just turned 28 in September, but he's set to be a free agent in the spring and may not be in Miami's long-term plans. However, he's a talented rotational defender who would interest teams that need help rushing the passer.

Pro Football Focus has graded Uche as the league's 33rd-best edge-defender through Week 5. While he has logged just a single sack this season, he has added 20 tackles, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and four QB pressures.

1. Khalil Mack, Edge, Los Angeles Chargers

Chargers pass-rusher Khalil Mack retains the top spot on our list, which should surprise no one. Los Angeles fell to 0-5 on Sunday, while Mack continues to be a legitimate difference-maker.

Mack has logged three sacks, 15 tackles, five tackles for loss, and 10 quarterback pressures. He's also playing on a one-year deal and should be interested in playing for a team that could get him his first career playoff win.

According to The Athletic's Jonathan Jones , at least two league executives have put Mack's value at a fifth-round draft pick. While that's not an unreasonable price point, the Chargers would likely ask for more—especially considering Jaelan Phillips commanded a third-round pick at last year's trade deadline.

Yes, Phillips (27 years old) is considerably younger than the 35-year-old Mack, but he was also in the final year of his contract when he was dealt.

Mack should be the top target for any team with Super Bowl aspirations that happens to need help rushing opposing passers. It'll be a fairly significant surprise if he remains in Los Angeles beyond next month's deadline.

Potential Suitors: Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers
