The 2026 NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 4:00 pm ET. Big trades have already happened: Jeffery Simmons to Chicago, Quenton Nelson to Seattle and DeForest Buckner to San Francisco. And more teams with losing records are getting ready to sell.
Here’s who could be next, team by team, based on the Associated Press’ look at the market. These are possible trade candidates, not done deals. For completed trades, see our NFL trade tracker.
Clear sellers
Los Angeles Chargers (0-6)
Still winless. Players who could be moved:
- LB Khalil Mack
- CB Donte Jackson
- WR Quentin Johnston
Don’t expect a Justin Herbert trade: the AP calls it "highly unlikely," because he has a full no-trade clause.
Miami Dolphins (1-5)
- DT Zach Sieler
- RT Austin Jackson
- Edge Josh Uche
New York Jets (2-5)
Two big names:
- WR Garrett Wilson
- RB Breece Hall
- Edge Will McDonald
Arizona Cardinals (2-5)
Arizona already traded Marvin Harrison Jr. to Houston. Next could be:
- Edge Josh Sweat
- S Budda Baker
- QB Jacoby Brissett
Tennessee Titans (1-6)
The Titans got two first-round picks for Jeffery Simmons. They could keep going:
- RB Tony Pollard
- S Amani Hooker
- Edge Jermaine Johnson II
Indianapolis Colts (2-5)
After trading Nelson and Buckner, the Colts’ fire sale may not be over:
- WR Josh Downs (has asked for a trade)
- RB Jonathan Taylor (the Colts say they’re not planning to trade him)
Teams that could go either way
Washington Commanders (1-4-1)
Washington could sell some veterans and buy younger players at the same time. Possible sales: DT Daron Payne, WR Stefon Diggs and edge rushers K’Lavon Chaisson and Dorance Armstrong Jr.
Philadelphia Eagles (2-5)
With Jalen Hurts out for the season and five straight losses, the next two games will decide the Eagles’ plan. If they sell, the names are huge:
- RB Saquon Barkley
- LB Zach Baun
- CB Riq Woolen
- G Landon Dickerson
- TE Dallas Goedert
The AP names the Seahawks, Vikings, Packers and Bengals as contenders who could be interested in Barkley.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-5)
Tampa Bay is still alive in a weak NFC South. But if the Bucs fall to 2-7, they could sell WR Chris Godwin Jr., edge Yaya Diaby, S Antoine Winfield Jr. and others.
