The NFL trade market is heating up as the November 4th trade deadline approaches. With just under a month left, activity is on the rise.
Recently, the Browns made waves by trading veteran quarterback Joe Flacco to the Bengals. Following that transaction, ESPN’s Adam Schefter has predicted that at least a dozen more trades could happen before the deadline, which is set for 4 PM ET.
Insiders have noticed a noticeable increase in trade activity in recent years and expect this trend will carry on into the current season.
Schefter reports that he has consulted with various executives and coaches to compile a list of players who might be on the move. This includes names like Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, and Alvin Kamara, among others.
While none of these players are officially listed as being on the trade block, there are strong indications that some might be available.
In addition, NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo revealed that teams like the Chargers and Chiefs are looking for running back help. Although those specific halfbacks do not wish to be traded, players like Kamara or Breece Hall are being considered.
The Jaguars might also remain active after acquiring cornerback Greg Newsome II from the Browns. Meanwhile, 49ers GM John Lynch mentioned the team’s intention to seek help on the edge in light of Nick Bosa’s season-ending injury.
Both the Jets and Titans have been receiving inquiries about potential trades, reflecting their struggles this season. The Giants are also on the hunt for wide receivers after Malik Nabors sustained a season-ending knee injury.
After the Eagles lost to the Giants on Thursday, GM Howie Roseman may turn his attention to adding defensive support for the reigning Super Bowl champions.
