NFL Trade Candidates: Analysis Ahead of Deadline on November 4
CINCINNATI, Ohio — The NFL trade deadline is approaching on November 4 at 4 p.m. ET, prompting teams to assess potential trade candidates. ESPN analysts have put together a comprehensive list of 25 players who may be available for trade based on their projected value and current team situations.
One of the most talked-about players is Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson, who has requested a trade after seeing his playing time reduced. The team captain has played a limited role in the last few games, prompting speculation about his future with the Bengals. Wilson has been pivotal for the team, highlighted by his experience during their Super Bowl run in 2021. Bengals coach Zac Taylor acknowledged Wilson’s leadership despite the circumstances.
Wilson’s stats track record includes 75 career starts, six forced fumbles, and 11 interceptions, making him an attractive option for teams looking to strengthen their linebacker corps.
Madison, a promising young player for the Dolphins, also faces trade speculation due to Miami’s struggling record. He has shown tremendous offensive potential but could be moved if the Dolphins decide to rebuild.
Meanwhile, Jets running back Breece Hall is having a standout season, pacing for over 1,000 rushing yards. Despite his expressed desire to remain with the Jets, the team’s 0-7 record raises concerns about their ability to keep all their key players.
Other notable names include Seattle Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen, who may find a new home due to his skills in man coverage but faces challenges in obtaining consistent playing time. Analysts predict a 50% chance of him being traded.
Wilson’s situation illustrates the dynamics of the trade deadline. As teams look to navigate their seasons and potential rebuilds, many players, including Wilson, are left wondering about their immediate futures in a rapidly changing landscape. With less than two weeks until the deadline, the buzz around these trade candidates will continue to grow.
