NFL Teams Eye Potential Trade Moves Ahead of Deadline

NEW YORK, NY — As the NFL season reaches its third week, teams are already assessing their rosters ahead of the looming trade deadline on November 4. Some franchises, like the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns, appear poised to make significant shifts if performance doesn’t improve.

The Giants, currently reeling under quarterback Russell Wilson, may opt to turn to rookie Jaxson Dart if Wilson falters. Wilson, who has had a mix of performances, could attract interest from teams looking for a veteran quarterback by midseason. “Switching to Dart may become a necessity if Wilson continues to struggle,” analysts speculate.

Kayvon Thibodeaux, the Giants’ edge rusher signed through 2026, may also be on the trading block as they evaluate their defensive depth. Teams searching for an edge rusher could find Thibodeaux appealing, especially if the Giants slip further in the standings.

The Browns, starting the season poorly and holding two first-round picks in the upcoming draft, are in a position to sell veterans like tight end David Njoku and cornerback Greg Newsome II. With their contracts expiring soon, both could provide significant value to teams in playoff contention.

The Miami Dolphins, currently struggling, are monitoring trade possibilities. Notably, Tyreek Hill’s future is uncertain amid performance issues and potential off-field concerns. If the Dolphins continue on their current trajectory, they might entertain offers for the star receiver.

Other teams are keeping an eye on players like Jaelan Phillips from Miami and even veterans such as Alvin Kamara from New Orleans, as every team strives to strengthen their rosters for the remainder of the season.

As the season progresses, injuries and performance will dictate not only who teams are willing to let go but also how proactive franchises will be at the trade deadline.
