Trade candidates

The Titans may not be overly eager to part with their best player. This roster needs more players like Simmons, not less. But with Tennessee's full-scale rebuild likely to require a multi-year process, it's possible that he becomes available. A contending team would happily part with premium assets to get an elite interior lineman with two years remaining on his contract.

The Bengals have declined to meet Hendrickson's asking price on a long-term deal for multiple years running. There's no reason to think that's going to change now. Cincinnati would be wise to get something for the standout defensive end before he hits free agency in March. Teams won't be shy about paying up for a proven pass-rusher coming off back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons.

Olave still has true No. 1 receiver potential, but he's not quite there yet. That could complicate contract talks as the Saints look ahead to the offseason. As much as New Orleans could use a player like him long term, the number of contenders in need of receiver help could produce some tempting offers.

Johnson, like Williams, should probably remain a foundational piece for the future of the Jets' defense. Extending the former first-round pick ahead of his fifth-year option season would be the smarter move. But teams will be sniffing around this situation, and it's possible New York opts to collect as many premium picks as possible.

Waddle was originally left off this big board. The idea being: the Dolphins can't trade everyone, can they? But as the losses continue to stack up, and a change at general manager shakes up the front office, it appears anything is on the table. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported over the weekend that the team "would at least consider" trading Waddle. The unique opportunity to acquire a dynamic receiver under contract through 2028 would presumably produce some appealing offers.

Fitzpatrick going back to the Dolphins in the Jalen Ramsey trade was a fun offseason story, but Miami's season is quickly going off the rails. The veteran safety is one of several players who could net the organization meaningful assets in a trade. The Dolphins will need all the picks they can get if they're going to rebuild this thing the right way.

Chubb has been slow to regain his previous form after missing the 2024 campaign with a torn ACL, but established pass-rushers will always draw interest. And with an offseason pay cut having slashed his cap number for this year, even the most cash-strapped contenders can get in the mix.

Rumors of a Hall trade extend back to the spring. Nothing materialized then, and the former second-rounder ended up holding off Braelon Allen for the starting job, but the Jets' season is now all but over. It seems likely he'll be traded to a team in need of a running back before he walks away for nothing in free agency come March.

Many considered Thibodeaux a potential trade candidate when the Giants drafted Abdul Carter to play opposite Brian Burns. New York passed on any such options at the time, instead opting to roll with a three-headed monster on the edge, but now might be a good time to reassess. The front office could get creative in shopping the former first-rounder for another player who can grow alongside Jaxson Dart and the rest of this exciting, young core.

The Seahawks are by no means a seller. Rather, their current trajectory could lead them to become an aggressive buyer at the deadline. Rumors about Woolen's availability suggest he's not seen as a long-term fit in Mike Macdonald's defense. Could he be traded for a player who is?

It's tough to imagine Kamara playing in another uniform. The Saints have to let go of their aging veterans at some point, though, and there's enough demand for running back help that they may even end up getting decent value.

Andrews ended up sticking in Baltimore despite some offseason trade rumors. The Ravens are still in it after a slow start, but the healthy return of Isaiah Likely does present an opportunity to get something for their longtime tight end before he hits free agency. Like the Oweh-Gilman trade, perhaps Andrews could be flipped for a player who helps the Ravens at another position of need.

There are no shortage of contenders who could find themselves in the market for linebacker help. Brooks being under contract through 2026 at a relatively affordable price tag could net the Dolphins a decent return.

There's something to be said for the Browns not tearing apart the offensive line, even if they aren't going anywhere this season. Teams will come calling for Teller, though, and it might make sense to get something back for him before he reaches free agency.

Campbell is somehow still playing at a high level at 39 years old. His return to Arizona was about finishing his pro career where it started, so it's possible no trade is on the table here. If he decides to take one last swing at a Super Bowl, though, there will be plenty of interested suitors who might give him that opportunity.

Calvin Ridley is a new addition to this big board after recent reports named him as a trade candidate to watch. Surprising as it might be to see the Titans take away from an already poor receiving corps at a critical time for Cam Ward's development, it's not like Ridley's been the top target he was signed to be. Could he thrive as a No. 2 for a contender?

The Commanders, now sitting at 3-6 ahead of the deadline, should be selling off from the NFL's oldest roster. Samuel is the most enticing name from the large group that could be made available. The veteran wideout has bounced back nicely from a difficult last season in San Francisco, leading all Washington receivers with 367 yards.

Davis is probably the most likely player to be traded out of New Orleans. Even at 36 years old, the impending free-agent linebacker could be a major upgrade for teams looking to improve their run defense.

Bitonio is probably nearing the end of his career at 34 years old. And who knows? Maybe he wants to follow the Joe Thomas path and ride out the whole thing in Cleveland. If he's open to joining a playoff team, there are many who could use the assistance up front.

Njoku has played his entire nine-year career in Cleveland. The impending free agent has become a particularly impactful receiver over the last three seasons, but the Browns are turning the page to a future star in third-round rookie Harold Fannin Jr.

Miller doesn't have the same juice he did even a few years ago, but this is the exact type of player teams should be looking to scoop up for cheap at the deadline. Whether it's for rotational depth or to fill a void on the edge, any contender could use this kind of pass-rush savvy in January.

Wagner certainly has his limitations in coverage at 35 years old, so fit will be important. But the 10-time Pro Bowler can still bring it as a run defender, and he remains a capable blitzer from the second level. He could be an important under-the-radar pickup for a team eyeing a deep playoff run.

Williams hasn't quite sustained the level of play that earned him first-team All-Pro honors in 2023, but that was always going to be a high bar. He's still an impactful starter whose three-down skill set can help a contender.

Taylor has proven to be a capable cover man in the slot and on the boundary. That versatility makes him a fit for a number of cornerback-needy teams if the Saints decide they won't extend him before next year.

Douglas might be the most obvious of the Dolphins' many trade chips. The veteran corner has previous experience with deadline deals, going from Green Bay to Buffalo in 2023, and his minimal salary will be easy for any contender to absorb.

Zeitler figures to be an especially valuable trade chip with so many contenders looking for reinforcements on the offensive line. The question is whether the Titans are willing to subtract from that group at such a crucial stage of Cam Ward's development.

The Titans may want to see what Tyjae Spears can do in a featured role now that he's back from his preseason ankle injury. Pollard could be a valuable addition to another team's backfield rotation.
