    There might be a rule change incoming in the NFL ahead of the 2026 season.

    On Sunday’s episode of the “Pat McAfee” show, insider Adam Schefter claimed that one anonymous team is pushing for an increase in the number of future draft picks a team can trade. At the moment, the league only allows three years of future picks as tradable options compared to other sports league

    “But the funny thing is, I had a conversation with somebody about that this week,” Schefter said. “And I’m gonna tell you right now, there are going to be people in the NFL this offseason that push to have that limit grown to five years.

    “There’s going to be a push by at least one team this offseason to extend the NFL trade limits from three years of picks to five years of picks.”

    Fans on social media shared their reactions to this potential change in the NFL rulebook.

    “We are officially in the NBA era of the NFL. Can’t wait for a star WR to request a trade because his team hasn’t traded their 2030 1st for another vet yet,” one fan commented.

    “This would ruin teams and GMs on last leg or out the door will definitely torpedo a team. How about instead of that you could trade picks for cap space and resigning your own player counts as a lesser percentage of your cap,” this fan commented.

    Last year, the Green Bay Packers acquired linebacker Micah Parsons via a trade with the Dallas Cowboys. They gave up DT Kenny Clark and two future first-round picks for the three-time All-Pro. Parsons then agreed to a four-year, $188 million deal with his new team, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

    Who holds the No.1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft?

    The Las Vegas Raiders hold the No.1 pick in this year’s NFL draft. They had a disappointing campaign under first-year coach Pete Carroll.

    The Raiders finished dead last in the AFC West with a 3-14 record. The team then decided to fire Carroll after just one season. Last week, they finalized a deal with Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as the team’s new coach. He just won Super Bowl LX after a 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots.

    Can the hiring of Kubiak help change the fortunes of the Raiders and establish them as a Super Bowl contender this upcoming season?
