The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 4 p.m. ET, which is 2:30 am Wednesday in Sri Lanka and India. Several big deals have already happened. This guide covers those, the names still being talked about, and what the contenders need.
Important: The deals in the first section are done. The players in the second section are rumors and ideas from writers, not confirmed talks.
Deals already done
| Player | Moved to | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Jeffery Simmons, DT | Bears | Chicago paid a couple of first-round picks to Tennessee. He played well in his Bears debut on Monday night. |
| Quenton Nelson, G | Seahawks | Left Indianapolis |
| DeForest Buckner, DT | 49ers | Left Indianapolis |
The Yahoo Sports panic meter says the moves have made the NFC West harder for the Rams.
Players who could be next
| Player | Team | What we know |
|---|---|---|
| Jonathan Taylor, RB | Colts | Indianapolis is 2-6, has fired GM Chris Ballard, and is open to trading him. Bleacher Report predicted a move to the Vikings, but that is only a prediction. |
| Josh Sweat, DE | Cardinals | Insider Jordan Schultz reported Sweat would be open to a trade, but Arizona’s asking price is believed to be high. The 29-year-old is on a four-year deal worth about $76.4 million. |
| Garrett Wilson, WR | Jets | CBS Sports named him a name to watch, with the Chiefs looking for a receiver. |
| Maxx Crosby, Kirk Cousins, Jackson Powers-Johnson | Raiders | One Raiders site says all three are speculated as possible trades. The team could also be a buyer. |
| Derrick Henry, RB | Ravens | PFN asked whether Baltimore could become a seller. The Ravens are 4-4 and are also searching for quarterbacks. |
| Saquon Barkley, RB | Eagles | CBS Sports reported Philadelphia is not looking to trade him. |
PFN also looked at landing spots for wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (Chiefs, Steelers and Patriots were mentioned) and a possible return of Khalil Mack to the Bears. NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks listed Taylor, safety Budda Baker and Thomas among eight possible trade candidates.
Contenders that need help
- Denver Broncos (6-2). The offense is 30th in yards gained and the home crowd booed it on Sunday. Yahoo’s Frank Schwab says the offense should be the focus, though the team is 20-5 since the start of 2025.
- Los Angeles Rams. Other NFC contenders added talent while the Rams started slowly. Myles Garrett is back at practice but has played only one game for them.
- Kansas City Chiefs. CBS Sports reports they are looking for a receiver.
- Baltimore Ravens. The big question is quarterback. See our Ravens QB update.
Our view
The three big deals so far all involved linemen, and two of them came from the same seller, Indianapolis (2-6). The Colts are the most obvious team to watch for more moves, along with any team that falls out of the race this weekend. We’d treat everything labeled "could" as a possibility until a team or a reliable reporter confirms it.
