As NFL training camps commence, ESPN's Matt Bowen evaluates the most impactful offseason additions for the 2026 season, focusing on on-field performance rather than contract details or draft capital.

Topping the list is Myles Garrett, acquired by the Los Angeles Rams via trade. Garrett, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, is expected to be a game-wrecker for the Rams' defense. Following closely is A.J. Brown, traded to the New England Patriots to provide quarterback Drake Maye with a primary receiving threat. The Rams also bolstered their secondary by trading for cornerback Trent Mc Duffie.

Other significant moves include the Bengals acquiring defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II, the Ravens signing edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, and the Vikings adding quarterback Kyler Murray. Rookies like safety Caleb Downs for the Cowboys and edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. for the Buccaneers are also highlighted for their potential immediate contributions.
