# Carter Bahns: Bahns names 10 players who stayed put at the 2026 trade deadline but could change teams in the 2027 offseason, headlined by Jonathan Taylor, whom they expect would require at least a first-round pick to acquire. They also expect Khalil Mack to leave the Chargers in free agency and the Titans to move on from Calvin Ridley at the start of the new league year, while suggesting George Pickens could look for a long-term deal away from Dallas. **Claimed:** Nov 11, 2026 **Pundit:** Carter Bahns — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/carter-bahns **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-trade-deadline-jonathan-taylor-trade-candidates-offseason-moves-after-staying-put-deadline/ 4 checkable claims — 4 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
