As the NFL offseason progresses toward the new league year, roster construction and trade speculation continue to intensify. Teams are making strategic moves through free agency, releases, and trade discussions as they set their sights on the 2026 season.
The Indianapolis Colts appear to be preparing for potential change at the quarterback position. Multiple reports indicate that the team is increasingly likely to move on from former first‑round pick Anthony Richardson after three seasons interrupted by injuries and limited playing time. The Colts have committed to Daniel Jones as their starting quarterback and are reportedly exploring trade options for Richardson in the coming weeks.
While nothing has been finalized, Richardson’s situation is drawing attention, with some league observers suggesting several teams could at least inquire about his availability as the offseason unfolds.
In Miami, the offseason has begun with significant roster changes. The Miami Dolphins have released star wide receiver Tyreek Hill in a major move to overhaul their lineup. In the wake of that decision, reports now suggest the franchise is considering trading quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Tagovailoa’s future in Miami has been uncertain following a disappointing 2025 campaign and with a new coaching regime in place. The team is exploring options at quarterback, including potential replacements through the draft or free agency.
Trade interest isn’t limited to quarterbacks. Speculation has emerged around standout defensive players, including Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders, who has been linked to trade interest from contending teams looking to boost their pass rush.
These discussions reflect how teams are weighing both immediate impact and long‑term roster construction ahead of free agency and the draft.
Offseason movement also includes shifts in coaching and front‑office personnel. A number of teams are finalizing changes to their staff, with promotions and new hires taking place as part of broader organizational adjustments.
The coaching carousel is often a sign of broader shifts in team strategy and can precede roster decisions in key areas such as quarterback play and defensive leadership.
Beyond rumors and potential trades, the NFL is actively processing free agency transactions, with several players released or signed as teams manage salary cap space and evaluate their roster needs for 2026.
These moves, while not as headline‑grabbing as blockbuster trades, are part of the league’s standard offseason rhythm and will continue to shape team compositions in the coming weeks.
With the new league year approaching and teams finalizing plans for free agency and the draft, activity typically increases during this period. Clubs with quarterback uncertainty, cap space flexibility, or a history of aggressive roster building remain among the most closely watched as trade discussions continue.
