NFL Trade Rumors
The NFL trade deadline is in less than a week and we have another update to our list of players who could potentially be available. Some players have been peeled off but more names have taken their place. It’ll be interesting to see what shakes out.
Near the beginning of October, ESPN reporter Adam Schefter predicted there could be 10-12 more trades before the deadline on Tuesday, November 4. After a hot start to the month, the pace slackened before picking up again so far this week. Either Schefter was wrong and it’s going to be a quiet deadline, or he was right and things are about to get a little crazy.

As always, this list is compiled not just by sifting through reports from beat reporters and national writers, but by leaning on NFL Trade Rumors-specific expertise to connect the dots on other players who could be available.

The season-ending injury to Giants fourth-round RB Cam Skattebo means the team will need the depth and experience Singletary provides. His salary made him a fairly uninspiring trade candidate to begin with.

Both Titans corners are off the list — McCreary because he was dealt last week and Sneed because he was placed on injured reserve. Sneed’s injury history and contract always made it unlikely that the Titans would find a trade partner, and now they have to hope they can get out of the $7.5 million that’s guaranteed for injury in his contract next year when they cut him.
Scott has actually played okay for the most part this year, enough to keep a pair of younger players on the bench behind him. It’s clear the coaching staff values him a lot more than the fanbase.
With the Vikings losing veteran QB Carson Wentz for the rest of the year, it’s worth talking about whether Cousins makes sense for Minnesota. As a veteran backup, the answer is probably no. He has a $27.5 million salary and the Falcons have been reluctant...
