The NFL trade deadline this season is on Nov. 4 at 4:00 PM ET, providing teams with plenty of time to determine if they want to make some big moves during the year. While the deadline is typically uneventful, there are a few NFL players who could change that in the weeks to come.
Let’s dive into our list of NFL trade candidates who could be moved during the regular season.
Off to a winless start with NFL rumors swirling about ownership cleaning house in the front office and coaching staff, this isn’t exactly the kind of situation Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill wants to be a part of. This is the same wide receiver who quit midgame in Week 18 and wasn’t named a team captain this year. Any club that acquired Hill would know it’s a one-year rental, as he can be cut next offseason to generate $36.33 million in cap savings. Hill’s trade value is a bit negated by his deep in speed and an NFL investigation into accusations of domestic abuse, but several receiver-needy teams would likely be willing to look past that. Hill’s a name to watch in late October, when Miami could be more willing to sell.

The number of quarterback injuries across the NFL is climbing, with multiple stars going down for the foreseeable future. No one roots for injuries, but the Atlanta Falcons certainly see an emerging opportunity. With each passing week, $1.53 million comes off Kirk Cousins’ contract, making him a bit more appealing for teams that have lost their starter or are unhappy with their current quarterback’s performance. It’s incredibly rare to see an in-season quarterback trade, but desperation can force action. If late October rolls around and a playoff contender is without its star signal-caller for more than a month, Cousins is the most stable fill-in starter on the market, and there isn’t a close second.

Coming out of NFL training camp, reports made it pretty clear that both running backs Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne Jr. didn’t have long futures with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Bigsby was traded after Week 1 to the Philadelphia Eagles, but Etienne is off to a hot start in Liam Coen’s offense. However, Etienne’s days in Jacksonville are likely still numbered. Bhayshul Tuten, the 104th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has already earned a prominent role in this offense. Before long, seventh-round pick Lequint Allen Jr. could do the same. The two rookies seem to be Jacksonville’s future tandem at running back, which makes Etienne expendable. For now, these great numbers are just increasing a potential trade return for the Jaguars.
