The start of the 2026 NFL league year is set at 4:00pm Eastern on March 11, with the salary cap set at a little over $301 million. This is an opportunity for some teams to make a trade, rather than releasing players outright. Not every team necessarily needs to trade a high-priced starter, but each player has been the subject of trade speculation. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has been mentioned in trade speculation, but his trade value isn't particularly high due to his five-year, $230.5 million contract he signed in 2022. Trading him would remove $34.7 million off the books. The Pittsburgh Steelers have shown no intention to rebuild under new head coach Mike McCarthy. The Las Vegas Raiders currently possess more than the Raiders' $89 and change their best player Maxx.
