Good players on expiring contracts on bad teams.
That’s what you’re looking at when it comes to players who could potentially get traded ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline. Any talk of players changing teams at the NFL trade deadline has a distinct profile in mind, with contenders being willing to give up a better pick than bad teams can anticipate getting in compensation for waiting and losing players in free agency.
We’ve already seen some deadline-caliber trades in the NFL, with center Cam Jurgens going from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Baltimore Ravens, cornerback Joey Porter Jr. going from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Dallas Cowboys and quarterback J.J. McCarthy going from the Minnesota Vikings to the New York Giants. The biggest came just over a week ago, though, when the Arizona Cardinals ended the experiment with wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and traded him to the Houston Texans.
A year ago, there were major trades involving first-round picks. Sauce Gardner went to the Indianapolis Colts and Quinnen Williams went to the Cowboys, as the New York Jets traded both. But that’s the exception to the rule, and does either acquiring team look better off as a result? Don’t expect any trades that impactful, but here are 10 names of players who could be dealt between now and the deadline.
