8 NFL Trade Candidates Ahead of the November 10 Deadline

The NFL trade deadline on November 10 is fast approaching, and several franchises are evaluating their rosters to balance immediate playoff ambitions with long-term asset accumulation. With teams charting different paths, eight high-profile players have emerged as primary candidates to change addresses over the coming weeks depending on performance, contract status, and organizational trajectory.

Chargers and Dolphins Weigh Moves After Winless Starts

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack stands among the veteran names drawing early interest. Following a 0-5 start to the campaign, the Chargers could explore moving the 35-year-old. Mack has already recorded three sacks this season and retains the capability to bolster a championship-contending defense.

In the AFC East, the Miami Dolphins find themselves at 0-5 and similarly positioned to acquire draft capital by parting ways with veteran assets. Josh Uche, currently playing on an expiring single-season contract, offers an affordable addition for any team needing a defensive boost.

Titans and Cardinals Eye Roster Adjustments

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard, who has surpassed the 1,000-rushing-yard mark in his first two seasons with the organization, could interest a team in search of offensive reinforcement given the team’s difficult start to the campaign. Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals are positioned to continue accumulating draft picks.

Josh Sweat, who logged 12 sacks the previous season, provides a proven option for increasing pass-rush pressure. Eight-time Pro Bowl selection Budda Baker could also attract attention from contenders seeking immediate help for a postseason push.

Jaguars, Commanders, and Browns Evaluate Contending Pieces

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has experienced difficulties matching his rookie production, and while the front office remains hesitant, the team’s offensive depth leaves open the possibility of entertaining external offers. Washington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne represents a natural target for playoff contenders looking to shore up their run defense as his contract approaches expiration in February.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy rounds out the group. The presence of several young offensive players in Cleveland has limited Jeudy’s role, making a transaction a viable path for the Browns to secure future assets.

Upcoming Deadlines and Roster Decisions

None of the potential transactions are guaranteed ahead of the November 10 deadline. Front offices will weigh upcoming game results, trade market demands, and ongoing contract negotiations before finalizing any roster changes.
