25 NFL players who could get traded at the deadline

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.

 
Keenan Allen, WR, Indianapolis Colts

DeForest Buckner's trade started the deadline fire sale for the Colts, and Allen could be next. Signed in training camp to add depth, Allen has been one of the busiest players on offense but hasn't added much for a team already falling out of contention. He'd help several teams despite sub-10 yards per catch in consecutive years.

Baker is the long-time face of the Cardinals' defense, with 8 Pro Bowls in 10 seasons. However, another disappointing season could end his tenure in Arizona, especially if the Cardinals can get a big draft package for their top defensive player.

 
Saquon Barkley, RB, Philadelphia Eagles

Barkley is having a down year like the rest of the Eagles, struggling to stay on the field. With Jalen Hurts gone, the writing is on the wall for a trade for the star running back. He's still averaged an impressive 5.7 yards per carry through 5 games played.

 
Jordyn Brooks, LB, Miami Dolphins

Brooks signed an extension in the offseason, but the former All-Pro could still be moved at the deadline. He remains one of the league's most productive linebackers and could fetch a strong return for the rebuilding Dolphins.

Brown has struggled to stay on the field again this season, but he recorded 2 catches in Week 7. He's likely to be on the trade block for an Eagles team looking for a reset.

 
Demario Davis, MLB, New York Jets

Davis has added a veteran presence and identity to the improving Jets defense, but the team might not be making enough progress to keep the 37-year-old veteran. The two-time Pro Bowler could still help many teams around the league.

 
Stefon Diggs, WR, Washington Commanders

Washington lost Terry McLaurin for the year, but they could still trade for Diggs. The veteran has struggled this season, averaging only 8.9 yards per reception through five games played, but has been a potent red-zone target.

Rasul Douglas, CB, Washington Commanders

Douglas has been a role player for the Commanders' defense this season, but the journeyman cornerback could still contribute to several competitive teams. With Washington at a crossroads this season, Douglas is a trade candidate.

Marcus Epps, S, Philadelphia Eagles

Epps has been a strong depth piece for the Eagles over the last two seasons, but the defense has shown signs of quitting recently. Philly will likely move Epps if they can get major draft capital in return.

 
Davon Godchaux, DT, New Orleans Saints

Godchaux is in his 10th NFL season and has seen his production decline since joining the Saints last season. He can still serve as a role player up the middle and would likely help a team looking to boost its run defense.

 
Donte Jackson, CB, Los Angeles Chargers

Jackson started for the Chargers early this season, but hamstring issues have lately hampered the veteran. With the Chargers already looking toward 2027, Jackson could be on the move.

 
Malik Hooker, S, Dallas Cowboys

Hooker has been a regular starter for the leaky Cowboys secondary, struggling against the pass. He'd be a viable depth piece for another team if Dallas makes trades before the deadline.

 
Jerry Jeudy, WR, Cleveland Browns

The youth movement in Cleveland has come at the expense of Jeudy's production, with only 16 catches for 171 yards through seven games. The former 1,000-yard receiver could still garner some trade value at the deadline.

Frankie Luvu, LB, Washington Commanders

A groin injury hindered Luvu early in the season, but he's returned to Washington's lineup. The former second-team All-Pro's production has been down when he's played, but he could help a team elsewhere.

 
15 of 25

Khalil Mack, OLB, Los Angeles Chargers

Mack is still going strong at age 35, but he's not helping a struggling Chargers squad much. The veteran would love to add a Super Bowl to his resume and could certainly help another team's pass rush.

 
16 of 25

Kenny Moore, CB, Philadelphia Eagles

Now in his 10th season, Eagles has contributed off the bench after nine seasons with the Colts. He isn't as productive as he was earlier in his career, but Moore could still help elsewhere.

 
17 of 25

Harrison Phillips, DT, New York Jets

Phillips is in his second season with the Jets, providing veteran leadership and run defense as a reliable starter. Now 30, he's a strong trade candidate for a Jets team that's still building.

 
Tony Pollard, RB, Tennessee Titans

Pollard has been one of the few bright spots for a completely anemic Titans offense, with 528 yards from scrimmage through seven games. He remains a capable, versatile runner who could serve a team in playoff contention.

Josh Sweat, EDGE, Arizona Cardinals

Arizona spent big to acquire Sweat last season. After recording 12 sacks in his first year with the Cardinals, he's off to a very slow start with the new coaching staff. He remains a capable edge rusher who could net a big trade return.

 
20 of 25

Jonathan Taylor, RB, Indianapolis Colts

Taylor could be the prize of the trade deadline if the Colts opt to move their franchise player. He leads the league in rushing touchdowns for the second straight year and would instantly boost any offense while also giving the rebuilding Colts a big trade package.

 
Brian Thomas Jr., WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars spent a first-round pick on Thomas in 2024, but he's fallen out of favor after an excellent rookie season. Now an almost non-existent part of the offense, Thomas is a top trade candidate despite Jacksonville's competitive position.

 
22 of 25

Jalen Tolbert, WR, Miami Dolphins

Tolbert was added from the Cowboys to the offense, but he's barely played with his new team. Miami is unlikely to get much for him in return, but he's shown flashes in the past and could be worth exploring as a trade.

 
23 of 25

Mack Wilson, LB, Arizona Cardinals

Wilson has been a key starter on the Cardinals' defense for three years, but the unit hasn't shown much improvement. Nearing age 30, Wilson is a prime trade candidate.

 
24 of 25

Rachaad White, RB, Washington Commanders

Washington is plagued by backfield injuries, but White is still standing. The former Buc has struggled with his new team but has shown upside in the past if the Commanders want to cash in at the deadline.

 
25 of 25

Dee Winters, LB, Dallas Cowboys

Leg injuries have hindered Winters recently, but he could still be a viable trade option for the second half of the season. After recording 101 tackles with the 49ers last season, he hasn't been quite as productive with his new team.
