There were some massive trades during the NFL offseason. Micah Parsons, DK Metcalf, George Pickens, Geno Smith, Deebo Samuel, and Jalen Ramsey were all moved before the start of the season.
So far in the days and weeks leading up to the NFL trade deadline, the agreed-upon deals have been relatively small. That could change at any given moment before 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 4. A blockbuster deal could be right around the corner, so check out the gallery to see three huge trades that would rock the football world that could happen before deadline day.
Denver Broncos receive: Chris Olave
New Orleans Saints receive: 2026 second-round pick, 2026 third-round pick, 2027 third-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick (via Saints)
The Denver Broncos traded a receiver to the New Orleans Saints before the start of the season. In hindsight, securing a fourth-round pick for Devaughn Vele was quite an impressive move for the Broncos. Vele has done next to nothing for the Saints this year, and the team could be looking to recoup some draft capital as they are likely to finish as one of the worst teams in the league this year.
Another Broncos-Saints receiver trade could be on the table. Reports suggest that Denver is interested in Rashid Shaheed, but perhaps they can pull off a move for Chris Olave instead. Shaheed is a pure burner. While Bo Nix and his receivers have missed on a number of deep balls this season, they already have a great speed demon in Marvin Mims. Olave would bring much more to the table for the Broncos.
Olave surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first two fully healthy seasons. The Broncos have one of the best defensive units in football, but by bringing in Olave to pair with Mims, Troy Franklin, Evan Engram, and Courtland Sutton, the offense would be almost as scary. Despite all the hype surrounding Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye, it is Nix who has the best numbers of his sophomore quarterback peers through 1.5 seasons. He could use one more weapon, though, and the Broncos should try to swing a deal for Olave instead of Shaheed.
Olave’s concussion history and the Saints’ decision to promote Tyler Shough to the starting quarterback position are the two biggest things that could prevent this trade from happening. New Orleans may want to ensure their rookie signal caller has weapons around him while he learns the ropes of starting at quarterback. This proposed deal would not only replenish New Orleans’ trove of draft picks with a surplus of capital, though, but it would even return the seventh-rounder that they included in the Vele trade.
New York Giants receive: Breece Hall
New York Jets receive: 2026 3rd-round pick, 2027 fifth-round pick
