2026 NFL Draft buzz: A.J. Brown not attending Eagles workouts; Giants less likely to deal Kayvon Thibodeaux
Key Points:
- A.J. Brown is unlikely to attend Eagles offseason workouts as trade rumors persist, with June 1 serving as the earliest possible trade date to avoid a large dead cap hit for Philadelphia.
- The New York Giants are less likely to trade pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux after trading defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, with Thibodeaux expected to play out his fifth-year option in 2026.
- Top quarterback prospect Garrett Nussmeier has been diagnosed with a spinal cyst causing oblique pain, but the condition poses no short- or long-term risk and may require a minor procedure if symptoms return.
- There is speculation that running back Jeremiyah Love could be selected as high as No. 3 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, potentially by the Arizona Cardinals if no trade occurs.
- The Seattle Seahawks plan to trade down from their No. 32 overall pick in the first round to acquire more draft capital, addressing team depth needs after winning Super Bowl LX.
- San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk remains on the roster despite ongoing trade speculation and a history of holdouts and injury, with no immediate plans for a trade expected during the draft.
