The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 4:00 pm ET (2:30 am Wednesday in Sri Lanka). According to a new ESPN report from Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport, trade talks are picking up across the league.

Here’s who is looking to add players, who is selling, and who has said "not for sale."

Important: These are reports about talks and interest, not completed trades. Done deals are in our NFL trade tracker.

Buyers: teams looking to add

Team What they want Notes
New York Giants Running back, defensive tackle Linked to Commanders DT Daron Payne and Colts RB Jonathan Taylor
Jacksonville Jaguars Defensive playmaker, possibly a middle DT 6-2 after beating Baltimore 33-10
Kansas City Chiefs Wide receiver Still interested in Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr.
Pittsburgh Steelers Wide receiver 5-2 and leading the AFC North
San Francisco 49ers Wide receiver, tight end A Jauan Jennings deal fell through earlier
Denver Broncos Tight end Asked about Trey McBride; Arizona said no
Washington Commanders Wide receiver Haven’t ruled out a deal for 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk

Sellers: teams listening to offers

Indianapolis Colts

The biggest seller. After trading Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, the Colts are shopping:

  • Jonathan Taylor (RB): Has a second-round "and more" offer, but the Colts want a McCaffrey-level return. Full story.
  • Josh Downs (WR): Has a fourth-round offer.
  • Keenan Allen (WR) and Grover Stewart (DT): Drawing interest.

Tennessee Titans

At 1-7, Tennessee is listening on receiver Calvin Ridley, who is available for a late-round pick. They already traded Jeffery Simmons to Chicago.

Not for sale

Player Team What we know
Khalil Mack Chargers Not being traded, per ESPN
Justin Herbert, Ladd McConkey Chargers Teams called; the answer was no
Trey McBride Cardinals Denver asked; Arizona won’t trade him
Tony Pollard Titans Tennessee isn’t trading him
Saquon Barkley Eagles Staying in Philadelphia, per earlier ESPN reports

The Chargers are winless, but they aren’t tearing it down.

Possible matches to watch

These are our ideas, based on what each team needs:

  • Giants + Jonathan Taylor: New York wants a running back and is leading its division.
  • Chiefs + Brian Thomas Jr.: KC has been linked to him for weeks.
  • Steelers or 49ers + Calvin Ridley: A cheap receiver for a contender.
  • Commanders + Brandon Aiyuk: Talks are still open.

Key time

Tuesday, Nov. 10, 4:00 pm ET. Many deals happen in the last few hours. Check back for updates.
