10 NFL Contenders Face Trade Deadline Needs Before Nov. 10 Cutoff
3 articles · Updated · NFL.com · Oct 22
Summary
Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET is the NFL trade deadline, and a new contender-by-contender analysis flags 10 roster holes that could shape buying decisions.
Buffalo, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, Kansas City and Las Vegas are highlighted as AFC teams needing help in the secondary, at running back, at cornerback, at deep receiver and at outside receiver.
Carolina, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit and the Rams top the NFC list, with needs at cornerback, defensive line disruptor, edge rusher, man-coverage corner and speed receiver.
Injuries and underperformance drive many of the gaps, including Tyquan Thornton's absence in Kansas City, Davante Adams landing on injured reserve in Los Angeles and Carolina losing both starting corners.
The analysis comes after an already active trade market this season, with players including Marvin Harrison Jr., Cam Jurgens, Joey Porter Jr. and J.J. McCarthy changing teams.
