I am not sure there is a player that could be available for trade but this article lists a couple of interesting (to me) candidates.
4 Trade Candidates for Philadelphia Eagles Heading Into Training Camp
Jordan Davis, DT
As a 2022 first-round pick, Jordan Davis delivered a breakout performance last season, playing a significant role in the Eagles’ dominant run defense and earning his fifth-year option through 2026. His 2024 stats—27 total tackles (three for loss) a sack and two pass deflections—aren’t gaudy, but they show a solid and steady contributor.
Sydney Brown, Safety
Sydney Brown burst onto the scene as a third-round pick in 2023, highlighted by a memorable 99-yard pick-six late in his rookie year. Unfortunately, a torn ACL in Week 18 cut the young safety’s first year short and disrupted his sophomore season, limiting him to just 79 defensive snaps and seven tackles in 2024. Now healthy, he faces some serious competition in the secondary, particularly after the selection of rookie Andrew Mukuba.

Assessing two proposed moves that would add to Vikings’ defense
Proposal No. 1: Vikings sign EDGE Matthew Judon
“The Vikings are set with their starting edge rushers, Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel. They have 2024 first-round pick Dallas Turner waiting in the wings. And then after that, well ... who is Bo Richter? Answer: He’s a second-year undrafted free agent who played 29 defensive snaps last season and is probably currently the No. 4 Edge on the Minnesota depth chart. The Vikings could really use a veteran to provide depth and rotate in every so often. Judon had a disappointing 2024 season with just 5.5 sacks for the Falcons, and he seems to be on the decline (he turns 33 in August). Still, he can get after the passer, and some reps as a backup might really rejuvenate his career.”
Proposal No. 2: Vikings trade for Browns CB Greg Newsome II
“Minnesota spent big to address both trenches this offseason, but the one non-quarterback spot that lacks top-end answers is the secondary, now sans veteran starters like Stephon Gilmore and Camryn Bynum. Forward-thinking general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah was in the Browns’ front office when Cleveland spent a first-rounder on Newsome in 2021, and at just 25, the former Northwestern standout has the upside to become a longer-term option for Brian Flores’ defense. Why would the Browns give up such a young chess piece? Despite his draft reputation, Newsome managed just three starts in Jim Schwartz’s unit in 2024, and he’s headed into a contract year.”

Vikings Approaching Potentially Costly ‘Deadline’ With Versatile Team Leader
The Athletic’s Alec Lewis underscored that, despite his positional listing, Metellus’ situation is “more interesting” than that of former teammate Camryn Bynum, because of his versatility.
“Last year, Metellus played about 40 percent of his snaps at linebacker, 30 percent at slot cornerback and 16 percent at safety. The rest of the time, he lined up on the defensive line or out wide against elite receivers,” Lewis wrote on June 26. “From a compensation standpoint, what’s fair? Paying Metellus like a linebacker? Like a slot cornerback? Or like a chess piece who can reliably play all of these positions?
“There is a drastic gap in pay between those various worlds.”
“The beginning of training camp presents one potential deadline, even if it’s fairly arbitrary,” Lewis wrote. “Metellus does not need many practice reps to perform in [Vikings defensive coordinator Brian] Flores’ defense. Nor do the Vikings need to see Metellus on the field in practice to know what he can do. The conviction from both sides almost underscores their shared fit. Why would either side be willing to move on if it has as much faith as it does in one another?”
Bynum, a full-time safety, signed a four-year, $60 million deal with the Indianapolis Colts in free agency this offseason, perhaps offering a baseline for Metellus and the Vikings.
Lewis noted a linebacker-esque deal could pay Metellus roughly $9.5 million. Being paid like the multi-purpose weapon that he is could yield in the neighborhood of $14.5 million.

Potential for a Minnesota Vikings playoff run relies on one major aspect
That aspect is going to play huge for the Vikings this year, as their biggest question lies in the hands of quarterback J.J. McCarthy. What will he be for the Vikings? CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin opined on it.
It’s rare you find a team so equipped for a deep playoff run yet without so much as a morsel of certainty under center. J.J. McCarthy may have the full support of a winning staff led by Kevin O’Connell, whose chief strength besides perpetual “Minnesota Nice” optimism is maximizing his quarterbacks, but he’s still a 22-year-old with zero real NFL snaps under his belt. Facing not only a difficult schedule but inflated expectations from fans who watched Sam Darnold win 14 games a year ago, he’s at least got the weapons and staff to aid his debut.

Vikings Miss Out on Trade for Elite $72 Million Cornerback
The Minnesota Vikings were never closely linked to Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey, but he always appeared the kind of player their defense could use.
Whether the Vikings ever actually kicked the tires on Ramsey is unclear, though it doesn’t matter now after the Dolphins traded the $72 million cornerback to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a 2027 pick swap— the Dolphins get a fifth-rounder from the Steelers and send a seventh-rounder back.
Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:
No discussion of politics or religion
No feeding of the trolls
Leave the gender hatred at the door
Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags
No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
