The NFL trade deadline is creeping closer on November 10, and word is already starting to bubble up about who could be on the move. Jonathan Jones of The Athletic just dropped some intel Saturday, naming a handful of players across the league who sources say are definitely “worth keeping an eye on” for a potential trade.
Who’s on the Radar? Defensive Talent Could Shift Fortunes
Jones’ report specifically called out Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith, Washington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne, and Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Grover Stewart as guys to watch on the defensive line. Over on the edge, New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux is also in the mix. That’s a serious list of defensive talent that could shift some team’s fortunes if they land elsewhere. Imagine a contender snagging one of those guys, it could totally change their outlook.
Offense Not Spared: Wideouts Drawing Eyes
But it’s not just defense. The wide receiver market might be heating up too, with Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. both getting a shout-out. Imagine either of those guys landing in a new offense. Could be huge for a team looking for a spark or trying to give their quarterback another weapon to play with as the season pushes on.
The Calm Before the Storm?
For now, though, Jones notes that the entire NFL trade front is pretty “quiet.” It’s the calm before the storm, maybe? But with the deadline a little over a month away, you know GMs are on the phones, weighing their options, ready to pull the trigger when the right deal comes along. That November 10 trade deadline is going to be wild. Keep those eyes peeled, because even though it’s quiet now, a move for any of these names could absolutely reshape the league. We’ll be watching every single rumor, hoping for some real action.
