NFL Team Officials Discuss Four Players in Hypothetical Trade Scenarios

Team officials addressed the contract situations and performance of four players ahead of the 2026 season. ESPN presented hypothetical trade offers involving those players and reported that the teams rejected the proposals.

Officials said the player recorded 38 catches for 404 yards during the 2025 season. A team executive stated the organization intends for the player to remain with the team and has rejected external inquiries. A post-June 1 trade would create $1.7 million in 2026 cap space and under $2.2 million in 2027.

The player's contract was restructured before the draft, lowering the 2026 cap hit to $7.775 million and raising the 2027 cap number to $15.425 million. A team executive said the organization drafted another tight end to upgrade the third tight end role.

Trading the player after June 1 would create $6.425 million in dead money for 2026 while saving $1.35 million against the cap. ESPN also presented hypothetical trade offers for two additional players but did not report any confirmed movement or new developments.
