Six weeks of the 2024 NFL regular season are in the books, so we are quickly approaching both the halfway point of the schedule and the recently delayed business closing date. All 32 teams have until 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 5 to replace players, and there are rumored to be enough big names. We’ve already seen a couple big deals involving megastar wide receivers getting sick: The Jets received Raiders’ Davante Adams and expenses landed Amari Cooper of the Browns.
With that in mind, here are some of our own trade proposals as the deadline approaches:
Possible refund: 2025 conditional fifth-round pick
It appears Tua Tagovailoa is on track to return to earth this season, despite some clinical experts suggesting his history of concussions. should recommend waiver of attention. Since when has Miami managed to put all its eggs in Tua’s basket? Lance rests a challenge, but showed off his first-round athleticism under Mike McDaniel in San Francisco, and Dallas kept him benched. It would produce a low risk condo and great benefits like additional insurance coverage in Tagovailoa.
Possible refund: 2025 fifth-round pick
One touchdown ahead of Cam Akers 12 months into the season, the Vikings could use more intensity in the backfield with Aaron Jones coming off a hip shock. And Pierce has made his position range clear at the moment in Houston, where the Texans have gotten excellent results from both Akers, Joe Mixon and Dare Ogunbowale. His combination of size, speed and equipment would create a more complete complement to Jones, who is key to Kevin O’Connell’s attack but also has an extensive surprise history. Everything else to keep Sam Darnold calm.
This one has been mentioned so much that it would be a mild trauma if it didn’t come true, reuniting Adams with his former Green Bay Packers teammate in Aaron Rodgers. It’s probably not the Jets’ best guess at the end either, considering how much they’ve already catered to Rodgers, only to end up firing their mentor early in a mercurial all-in campaign. . And yet, if there’s anyone who could help A-Rod return to the Pro Bowl thanks to their extensive history and impeccable chemistry, it’s definitely Adams.
Possible refund: 2025 fifth-round pick
He was meant to be part of the 1-2 strikeout package that powered Will Levis in Tennessee, but the Titans could instead get something for him before his inevitable free agent departure in 2025 now that Levis is stirring. The offense is off to a 1-4 start. At 32 years old with a bad knee, his price is not through the roof. For a contender like the Chiefs, on the other hand, it could be crucial for a possible final stretch, with Patrick Mahomes very dependent on rookie Xavier Valuable and an increasingly growing Travis Kelce amid injuries to Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown.
Possible refund: 2025 fifth-round pick
The Steelers were sniffing out big-time receivers this year, from Adams to Brandon Aiyuk, but there are plenty of potential lower-level options that could be available. Thielen is one of them, and he is coming off a surprise at age 34 for the Panthers’ rebuild stuck in the mud. He’s been given a much more embarrassing ceiling than a playmaker like Adams, but if healthy, he remains one of the NFL’s safest ownership targets, making him a logical spouse for the more explosive George Pickens. in the other assault of the old school of Pittsburgh.
Possible refund: 2025 conditional third-round pick
The Eagles received a conditional 2026 1/3 for Haason Reddick before the season, but their prized offseason upside addition, Bryce Huff, has yet to appear. And as general manager Howie Roseman has been burned by in-season bets on aging veterans, Miller has a history with new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, earning his final Pro Bowl nod as a coach with the Denver Broncos. Suspended until the 8th, it would produce for one last attempt to inject the Eagles’ make-or-break sprint into the week.
Possible refund: 2025 fifth-round pick
The Browns have every reason to be a dealer, going 1-5 but with a lot of defensive properties, and Detroit has every reason to buy into Edge Rusher, where teenage megastar Aidan Hutchinson is out indefinitely. a damaged leg. Smith has already toured the NFC North, establishing himself with the Packers and also preparing for the Vikings, and if he were better suited as a rotational running back at age 32, he would constitute a sunny upgrade for a small unit in Motown, where the Lions are wrong to make any other execution with NFC identification.
Possible refund: 2025 sixth-round pick
Presen Jones is actually the Patriots’ most accomplished cornerback, with new coach Jerod Mayo recently saying that Unused England is just beginning a multi-year rebuild. At 31 years old, and approaching 2025 as a free enterprise, Jones therefore becomes a logical commercial chip. Now that he’s been more solid than impressive for years, his experience could be valuable for Washington, which has a potential playoff contender thanks to rookie Jayden Daniels but has struggled mightily on the back end of Dan Quinn’s defense.
Possible refund: 2025 fourth-round pick
When he’s at full speed, Baker is arguably one of the most superior safeties in the NFL. In short, he asked for a company outside of Arizona before this season, but was looking for a big salary increase and neglected more than one game in 2022 and 2023. With the Cardinals suffering on defense and stale to a 2-4. start, your chances of relocation could increase. And Houston has battled injuries on the back line, with Jeff Okudah and Jimmie Ward both banged up. As a condo for the rest of the season, he could help the Texans’ chances of making a deep run.
