# Bradley Locker: Ahead of the Nov. 10, 2026 trade deadline, they name 15 players they expect could be dealt, including Marvin Harrison Jr., Titans veterans Tony Pollard and Calvin Ridley, and a deep group of defensive linemen such as Tuli Tuipulotu, Yaya Diaby and Daron Payne. **Claimed:** Oct 7, 2026 **Pundit:** Bradley Locker — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/bradley-locker **Outlet:** Pro Football Focus — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/pro-football-focus **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.pff.com/news/15-trade-candidates-ahead-of-the-2026-nfl-trade-deadline/ 16 checkable claims — 16 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 16 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > A change of scenery seems likely for the 24-year-old Harrison, and teams around the league would figure to have immense interest. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Joshua Uche to move — “may add another team to his ledger soon;

Stroud), the Raiders (who lack a true No. 1 wideout) and the Patriots (thin at receiver due to injuries). — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/5be5d904-d1fd-4e46-b526-9b4a14383b4f (scored 100) - Donnie Druin on Marvin Harrison Jr.: Druin writes that Marvin Harrison Jr. is on the move and that early indications point to the Houston Texans as their next destination, where they would join a receiving corps led by Nico Collins. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/9c9aafd7-2e16-499b-ac60-98dd5150f65f (scored 100) - John Gambadoro on Marvin Harrison Jr.: Gambadoro says a Harrison trade has been agreed to in principle and could be finalized as soon as that night or the following morning, reportedly for two future picks. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0fc52d01-bf3e-48b9-8df7-986f31173f74 (scored 100) - Mark Kaboly on Marvin Harrison Jr.: Kaboly said Marvin Harrison Jr.'s trade out of Arizona would be made official within a day or two, and that the Steelers would not be his destination. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/1c5f6b8e-52aa-44c4-981e-b10dbb529b64 (scored 100) ## More trade and signing calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Chris Clark on Nikko Remigio: Clark expects the Chiefs to bring back exclusive-rights receiver Nico (Remigio) and long snapper James Winchester, to re-sign JuJu Smith-Schuster as a cheap veteran fifth receiver, and not to bring back Hollywood Brown, Josh Dobbs-type depth, Gardner Minshew, Janarius Robinson or Mike Caliendo; they also say the Chiefs will not use a franchise tag and believes Bryan Cook won't return. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/99521265-d5c0-4db1-b2a0-fe77908ea0b3 (scored 0) - Nate Gosney on Daiyan Henley: After the Broncos rescinded the trade, Gosney expects Daiyan Henley to remain with the Chargers for the rest of the 2026 season, but believes the awkward fallout has effectively killed any chance of them signing a new contract with Los Angeles after the season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/60272861-4ad0-4749-b36a-dcdf09b9213f (scored 0) - Logan Lazarczyk on Kirk Cousins: Ahead of the trade deadline, they float three Raiders moves: shipping Kirk Cousins to Minnesota if the Vikings offer a second-round pick, selling Maxx Crosby to Dallas for a first-rounder plus, and acquiring Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. for a second- or third-round pick. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d0fd408a-7dcd-4e50-ac62-6b4510a8a800 (scored 100) - Logan Lazarczyk on Kirk Cousins: Lazarczyk expects the Raiders to be sellers before the trade deadline, suggesting Kirk Cousins could be dealt back to the Vikings and that benched interior lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson is a prime candidate to be traded somewhere. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fda03952-2ea6-4919-8114-0ebb127478d1 (scored 100) - Patricia Traina on J.J. McCarthy: Traina expects defensive tackle to be a top need for the Giants in next year's draft, and suggests the Giants could trade J.J. McCarthy next offseason — or keep both them and Jaxson Dart if the return isn't good enough. They also expect Dart to make a full recovery. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b638ed13-01ca-4ea6-9384-ec7130f912c1 (scored 100) - Michael David Smith on Keenan Allen: Smith suggests the Colts are likely to grant Josh Downs' trade request given their contract situation and their recent sell-off, and that they could also try to trade Keenan Allen. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/52d7108f-f754-44e8-9bf3-cc3336b4e5f7 (scored 100) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened.
