The 2025 NFL trade deadline is set for Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, with a flurry of activity expected.
We have already seen some intriguing trades throughout the season so far, including Micah Parsons being dealt to the Green Bay Packers and Joe Flacco switching AFC North teams to join the Cincinnati Bengals. Last year's trade deadline day saw a whopping 18 trades be made, including Davante Adams joining the New York Jets, the Kansas City Chiefs landing DeAndre Hopkins, and the Washington Commanders making the move for Marshon Lattimore.

Dozens of trades have been rumored in what is expected to be another busy day on Tuesday, with plenty of teams expected to be active.

Mirror U.S. Sports has taken a look around the league and explored options that NFL teams will have prior to the trade deadline on Tuesday, November 4.
Russell Wilson (QB, New York Giants)

Wilson has lost the starting position and will not get it back, with rookie Jaxson Dart impressing since coming in, despite the season-ending injury losses of Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo.
The quarterback struggled for the Giants, but showed he's still capable of big performances after throwing for 450 yards and three touchdowns this season. The Minnesota Vikings have lost Carson Wentz for the year, and could do with a mentor for JJ McCarthy — and potentially even a replacement should he pick up a third injury. If Kevin O'Connell can win with Wentz, then he'll certainly be able to win with Wilson.
Best landing spot: Minnesota Vikings
Breece Hall (RB, New York Jets)
The Jets must consider moving on from Hall, despite his strong 2025 season so far. Hall is set to become a free agent next year, making it incredibly tough to justify extending him due to the injuries that have ruled him out over the last four years.
The Jets could receive solid draft compensation for Hall in what is sure to be another lost season, while giving his snaps to Isaiah Davis — who has impressed.
Best landing spot: New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs
Jakobi Meyers (WR, Las Vegas Raiders)
Like the Jets, the Raiders appear to be in a lost season and will not benefit from holding onto Meyers, who has already publicly requested a trade.
The 28-year-old receiver has been quietly efficient over the past few years, having over 1,000 yards last season while impressing in short-yardage situations as well as being an effective deep threat. Meyers will hope to land on a playoff team and could be a huge upgrade for several teams.
Best landing spot: Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers
Joel Bitonio (G, Cleveland Browns)

Joel Bitonio is a surprise name that could be traded
The 34-year-old is coming towards the end of his career, which he has spent all 11 years of with the Cleveland Browns, but staying put makes no sense for either the team or the player at this point.
The Browns have promising young guards behind him on the depth chart that they need to give playing time to, while Bitonio is highly unlikely to ever compete for a Super Bowl in Cincy. A move to the Seattle Seahawks or San Francisco 49ers would upgrade their biggest position of weakness and perhaps elevate them to being in that conversation.
Best landing spot: Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers
Kevin Zeitler (G, Tennessee Titans)
Similar to the Browns, the Titans have no reason to keep a hole of a 35-year-old guard at this point, especially when they can flip him for draft compensation.
One of the best guards in the league over the last decade, Zeitler is still playing at a high level despite his age.. He's on a one-year deal, meaning he can be traded for almost no salary cap implications, while landing the Titans a much-needed draft pick.
Best landing spot: San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens
Trey Hendrickson (EDGE, Cincinnati Bengals)
Hendrickson has long made it clear that he wants to be traded, despite returning to the team on a one-year deal this season. The Bengals could franchise-tag Hendrickson again next year, but that's a move that will almost certainly see him hold out.
In what looks to be a season that will not see the Bengals compete for a Super Bowl, mostly due to Joe Burrow's injury, the team could flip the superstar pass-rusher for a significantly high draft pick — potentially even a second-rounder and an ascending player.
Best landing spot: Washington Commanders, Detroit Lions

Quinnen Williams (DT, New York Jets)
Perhaps the biggest name that could be traded prior to the deadline, Williams is among the best players in the league at his position and would bring in a huge haul of assets.
The Jets already have one of the worst defenses in the league despite Williams' presence, and their playoff hopes are already over. Why keep hold of Williams? The Jets' timeline of getting where they need to be does not feel aligned with Williams' prime years.
Best landing spot: Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys
Jordyn Brooks (LB, Miami Dolphins)
The NFL's leading tackler, Brooks is having another fine season with the Dolphins after joining from the Seattle Seahawks — being a bright spark in their nightmare season. Trading Brooks would almost obviously make the Dolphins a worse team, but that might be exactly what they need at this point. They must rebuild for the future.
The Buccaneers appear to be legitimate Super Bowl contenders, but their struggles at off-ball linebacker have been an issue that teams will likely look to exploit in the playoffs. Brooks is an upgrade over Lavonte David and SirVocea Dennis, and could be acquired for a mid-round pick.
Best landing spot: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers

Logan Wilson (LB, Cincinnati Bengals)
The Bengals' defensive captain was surprisingly benched this past month despite playing at a solid level, with the defense struggling around him for the second consecutive year.
His leadership and experience is something that a number of teams need, and he'll certainly look a much better team with a competent defensive interior in front of him.
Best landing spot: Denver Broncos, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Minkah Fitzpatrick (S, Miami Dolphins)
Still one of the best safeties in the league, it does feel like Fitzpatrick is wasted on the Dolphins at this point in his career — while being more than good enough to enhance a Super Bowl team.
The Dolphins could acquire a day two draft pick for Fitzpatrick, with a number of suitors likely to be in for the do-it-all safety should they make him available.
