NFL Trade Rumors
There have already been a flurry of trades as NFL teams polish their rosters for the upcoming 2025 season, and expect more in the coming days ahead of the deadline for roster cuts on Tuesday.
Here’s an updated look at which players could be available around the league, sorted by position:
McKee’s impressive preseason (20-25 for 252 yards and two touchdowns) is expected to pique some interest from other teams, but a quality backup quarterback is a valuable commodity and the Eagles likely won’t give McKee up with two years remaining on his rookie contract unless they’re blown away with an offer.
There’s been some buzz around Raiders sixth-round QB Cam Miller, which could be enough to leave Las Vegas comfortable trading away O’Connell if one of several teams with unsettled backup quarterback situations comes calling. He also has two years left on his rookie deal, so the Raiders won’t just give him away.
At this point, it seems like the Browns will keep four quarterbacks with Pickett slotting in as the primary backup behind Joe Flacco and ahead of the two rookies. But keeping that many is unconventional and of the four Pickett is the most expendable.
White and Trubisky are competing for No. 2 duties in Buffalo. The sense recently is that Trubisky has started to pull ahead, though White has been banged up. The Bills have a crowded roster and might not have space for a third quarterback.
Minnesota traded for Howell to give them a backup option behind first-year starting QB J.J. McCarthy but Howell has been outshined at times by rookie UDFA Max Brosmer the past four weeks. That’s both a plus for Brosmer and a minus for Howell. The Vikings could still make some drastic changes here to get a backup they feel good about.
Detroit invested a third-round pick in Hooker two years ago with the goal of him securing the backup gig eventually. But he’s in his third season and has been outplayed by journeyman Kyle Allen for that role. The Lions still have Hooker under contract for another season but this development raises questions about his future with the team.
I’m not sure how much interest there would be in DeVito outside of New York but he’s got a higher profile than a lot of other No. 3 quarterbacks.
It seems like just a matter of time before...
