Super Bowl week is a sneaky period for trades to break in the NFL
All eyes are on the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots as they gear up for Super Bowl LX, but let's remember that there are 30 other NFL franchises. They are not competing for a Lombardi Trophy and are already hard at work preparing for the 2026 campaign, aiming to reach the big game this time next year.
To do that, some front offices will look to improve their rosters via trade, and history has shown that blockbusters can come down in the shadow of Super Bowl week. In January 2018, the week before Super Bowl LII, the Kansas City Chiefs traded then-starting quarterback Alex Smith to Washington. In 2021, the Los Angeles Rams acquired Matthew Stafford from the Detroit Lions on the doorstep of Super Bowl LV.
With that history in mind, it's important for us to keep our heads on a swivel as a blockbuster trade could be dropped onto our laps at any moment over the next week. Below, we'll highlight some notable names that could be traded before Super Bowl LX (or at any point this offseason), and what they may cost.
Brown has consistently been linked to trade rumors over the last few years. The tumultuous relationship between the wideout and the Eagles is well-documented. During Philadelphia's playoff loss to the 49ers, Brown was seen in a sideline altercation with coach Nick Sirianni, further suggesting this tenure may have run its course. For Brown, he did not seem thrilled with his role in the offense this season, and, from Philadelphia's point of view, it may make sense to move on from a soon-to-be 29-year-old receiver who is due $29 million in guaranteed salary in 2026.
What could it cost: Third-round pick and fifth-round pick
