Bleacher Report has named JD Bertrand as the Atlanta Falcons' top trade candidate ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Bertrand was a fifth-round pick in 2024, contributing with 58 tackles and one sack across 27 games. The Falcons have made several additions to their linebacker unit, potentially making Bertrand expendable. However, the depth at linebacker is a concern, prompting questions about whether the team should consider trading him. The Falcons aim to address weaknesses at edge rusher, which could influence their decision regarding Bertrand's future with the team.
