I’ve recently discussed possibilities for players to either sign or get traded to certain teams. This analysis has been all over the place, so I thought I’d move everything to one page.

Vikings looking to trade DE Jonathan Greenard (March 3, 2026)
The Minnesota Vikings are reportedly open to trading Pro Bowl edge rusher Jonathan Greenard as they attempt to save over $12 million by moving his contract. As we very well know, however, the salary cap is fake, so this just means that owner Zygi Wilf is not willing to spend the necessary money it takes to win a Super Bowl at this time.
Greenard, who signed a 4-year, $76 million deal with Minnesota in free agency, produced a 12.5-sack season in 2024 but posted just three sacks in 2025 due to injury issues. Greenard is 29 as of May, so he’ll be a candidate to rebound in 2026.
Here are the teams that could trade for Greenard:
Kansas City Chiefs: The Chiefs weren’t able to generate quarterback pressure on the edge last year outside of George Karlaftis, so a big upgrade is needed at this position. Greenard would be a huge boon to Kansas City’s ailing pass defense.
Chicago Bears: Chicago needs multiple defensive ends, so adding Greenard would instantly fill one of those holes with a proven veteran. The Bears’ defense has struggled to generate pressure consistently, and pairing Greenard with Montez Sweat would give them one of the more formidable edge tandems in the league, though they’d still need depth.
Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens have some great defensive pieces, but they could stand to bolster their pass rush to help them finally overtake the Bills and Chiefs.
Detroit Lions: The Lions need another pass rusher opposite Aidan Hutchinson, and Greenard fits that immediate need while giving Dan Campbell’s defense a veteran force who can improve third-down pressure rates against the explosive offenses in the division.
Washington Redskins: Charlie Campbell reported that the Redskins want a pass rusher at No. 7 – check out our NFL Draft Rumor Mill for more – but they need two edge rushers, so trading for Greenard and proceeding with those draft plans makes sense.
Philadelphia Eagles: You can’t ever count out Howie Roseman in a potential trade. He also loves to collect talented defensive linemen. The Eagles needed help from Brandon Graham last year, so this would be a way to prevent that from happening again.
Arizona Cardinals: I have the Cardinals selecting an offensive lineman in my 2026 NFL Mock Draft, but only because of their alleged love for Spencer Fano. Trading for Greenard would be a way to justify passing on either Arvell Reese or David Bailey.
Dolphins cut WR Tyreek Hill (Feb. 16, 2026)
Tyreek Hill has been one of the most dynamic players in the NFL over the past decade, but now he’s a free agent in the wake of Miami cutting him. Hill tore his ACL early last year, so given this injury, and the fact that he’s 32, he may never be the same player again. Hill had already shown signs of slowing down, so there could be a steep decline. However, it would be foolish to count out Hill, who could bounce back and have another strong season or two.
Hill could always retire – I’m sure he’d love to spend time with his family and be there for his kids’ diaper changes, birthday parties, and Little League games – but Hill could opt to continue his career and sign on with a contender to win another Super Bowl.
Here are some teams that could sign Hill:
Kansas City Chiefs: This fit seems too obvious. Tyreek Hill had his best years with Patrick Mahomes, and Mahomes had his best years with Hill. Both are coming off torn ACLs, so perhaps they could train and recover together. 
Buffalo Bills: If the Chiefs don’t make the move, Hill could sign on with a team that happens to be a rival of both Kansas City and Miami. Josh Allen desperately needs a dynamic receiver. 
New England Patriots: Another rivalry of the Dolphins is a possibility. Drake Maye sorely needs better help at receiver if he wants to avoid targeting Demario Douglas often in the Super Bowl again. Baltimore Ravens: All the Ravens have at receiver is Zay Flowers. They’ve needed a No. 2 across from Flowers for several seasons. 
Seattle Seahawks: Rashid Shaheed is an impending free agent, while Cooper Kupp is a million years old. The Seahawks need to address receiver this offseason. 
Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons don’t qualify as a primary Super Bowl contender, but Atlanta is close to Hill’s hometown, and the Falcons have nothing at receiver outside of Drake London. 
Dallas Cowboys: There’s some chatter that George Pickens could be traded because he’ll command too much money. If Pickens is dealt, Hill could be a cheaper alternative. NFL Free Agent Signing Grades
