The NFL trade deadline is November 10 at 4 p.m. ET, and several teams have already signaled their intent to sell off. Several prominent players have already been moved, and these 25 could follow.
Week 9 of the NFL season is set to feature plenty of starting quarterbacks standing on the sideline and not playing.
The Vikings’ biggest risk at the November 10 deadline is standing pat with a 6-1 record and an offense that still has obvious problems. Minnesota has a top-tier defense and a rare chance to win now, so a bold move for a quarterback or a playmaker like Jonathan Taylor makes sense.
NFL stars can't play forever, and retirement is coming sooner than later for some of the league's top players. These 25 players could call it quits following the 2026 season.

Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Vikings will start QB Carson Wentz in Week 9 against the Bills as Kyler Murray deals with a hamstring injury. Rapoport adds Murray is week-to-week with a hamstring strain, meaning QB Max Brosmer will serve as the backup in the meantime.
This is the second time since Murray was knocked out of Minnesota's Week 1 game against the rival Green Bay Packers on Sept. 13 that the Vikings have had to turn to Wentz.
It’s honestly a little ridiculous that the Minnesota Vikings have been struggling so much at the quarterback position. The one position that has the entire NFL paying attention to is quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings.

Murray is dealing with a hamstring injury that is putting his status for Week 9 against Buffalo in serious doubt.
Minnesota is 6-1, but the interior of its offensive line has been patched together since early October.

While both former Vikings have given their reasons, Kurt Warner’s opinion carries more weight because he’s a Hall of Fame quarterback who knows what Murray is missing.
