NFL Names 32 Top Trade Candidates Ahead of Nov. 10 Deadline

3 articles · Updated · FOX Sports · Oct 21

Less than three weeks before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, an NFL-wide analysis picked one leading trade candidate for each of the league’s 32 teams.
Several projected sellers were tied to age, contracts or rebuilds, including Chargers edge Khalil Mack on a 1-year, $18 million deal and Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins, who could fetch a Day 2 pick at age 38.
Other candidates were framed as expendable because of reduced roles or depth-chart changes, such as Ravens receiver Rashod Bateman, who has 16 catches in six games, and Bengals 2025 first-rounder Shemar Stewart, who has played just 8% of defensive snaps.
Contending teams were also included, but mostly with lower-impact or depth moves—examples ranged from Falcons corner Mike Hughes to Chiefs tackle Khalil Benson—rather than core roster shake-ups.
The list underscores how teams across the league are weighing cap relief, draft compensation and playoff needs as the deadline approaches.
