As training camp begins across the league, several players remain without contract extensions, leaving their immediate and long-term futures uncertain. The most notable names continue to be Bengals' pass rusher Trey Hendrickson and Commanders' receiver Terry McLaurin.

Both are presumed to be on the Patriots' radar since they still have an estimated $60 million in cap space and could certainly utilize a boost to either position. However, there's a good chance that other teams are seriously considering a trade if either player becomes available, which could lead to a nightmare scenario for New England.

That would be the case if CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin's prediction comes true, as he listed top landing spots for McLaurin and suggested the Jets as one of them.
