The 2025 NFL trade deadline is on Tuesday, November 4 at 4:00 PM ET, and we've already seen a few NFL trades made within the past week. While the trade deadline is typically quiet, with most NFL rumors developing into nothing, it appears things will be very different this season.
Just a few weeks out from the NFL trade deadline, let's dive into our roundup from some of the latest NFL trade rumors and notes from around the league.

It's already been unusually active on the trade front this month with the Cleveland Browns ( Joe Flacco ), Baltimore Ravens ( Odafe Oweh ), Jacksonville Jaguars ( Tyson Campbell and Tank Bigsby ), Houston Texans ( Cam Robinson ) and Tennessee Titans ( Jarvis Brownlee Jr ) all making deals. View that as a sign. ESPN 's Adam Schefter reported before Week 6 that there's expected to be a more "active" market ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Three deals were made last week and, per league sources, another dozen-plus trades could be on the horizon by Nov. 4.

The first thing to keep in mind is the NFL standings, focusing on teams with one win (Browns, Titans, Ravens, Miami Dolphins , New Orleans Saints ) or fewer ( Jets ). Among those clubs, potential NFL trade candidates reported by ESPN include running backs Alvin Kamara and Jaylen Wright , wide receivers Chris Olave , Rashid Shaheed , Allen Lazard , Brandin Cooks and Tyler Lockett , tight ends David Njoju and Chig Okonkwo, offensive linemen Joel Bitonio , Wyatt Teller , Ethan Pocic and Kevin Zeitler and defenders Cameron Jordan , Sehlby Harris, Bradley Chubb , Jaelan Phillips , Arden Key and Dre'Mont Jones. It's worth noting that Njoku suffered a knee injury in Week 6 and the Browns might want to keep their offensive line together in order to better evaluate Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders . There are a few other prominent players mentioned in NFL rumors that we'll address individually.

Ahead of Sunday's games, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported that the San Francisco 49ers were expected to reach out about a Trey Hendrickson trade. 49ers' general manager John Lynch is in the market for a pass rusher after losing Nick Bosa to an ACL tear. However, he'll have to look elsewhere. Bleacher Report 's James Palmer reported that the Bengals "aren't there yet" in terms of a willingness to trade their All-Pro edge rusher. The Joe Flacco trade is evidence of that. Furthermore, Hendrickson suffered a minor back injury in Week 6.

The Jets are the only winless NFL team in 2025. With a new general manager and head coach in place, there are no true loyalties to players brought in by the former regime. That's led to clubs around the league inquiring about certain players on the Jets roster. Connor Hughes of SNY recently reported that several teams ahve called the Jets' front office about edge rusher Jermaine Johnson. A first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Johnson is under contract next season ($13.4 million) in the final year of his rookie contract. He's recorded 27 pressures and 8.5 sacks in his last 22 games , but the Jets reportedly want "a lot" for him.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are feeling confident in this team entering Week 7, especially with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver DK Metcalf playing at a high level. However, more help is needed. With Calvin Austin (shoulder) sidelined, there's little pass-catching help beyond Metcalf. On the Pat McAfee Show, Adam Schefter reported that the Steelers are actively involved in the trade market for a wide receiver. While nothing is imminent, Pittsburgh is exploring its options around the league.

Just days after losing Najee Harris to a season-ending injury, the Los Angeles Chargers learned that rookie Omarion Hampton would miss ' more than a month ' with an ankle injury. According to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL.com , both the Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs are actively exploring the trade market for help at running back. The name to keep an eye on here is Jets running back Breece Hall . While Hall has expressed a desire to remain with New York, he's not viewed as a long-term piece by the new regime.

Saints running back Alvin Kamara is no stranger to his name popping up in NFL trade rumors. Given that New Orleans isn't contending in 2025, it's also of no surprise that the 30-year-old running back has generated significant trade interest. However, a deal is viewed as unlikely. That's because, as reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network , general manager Mickey Loomis went to the Pro Bowl running back and asked if he'd want to play for a contender. Kamara made it clear he wants to spend his entire career in New Orleans and that wish is expected to be honored by the organization.

The NFL is a passing league and the second-most valuable position right now is edge rusher. Unsurprisingly, teams in need of pass-rushing depth are looking everywhere for help. Over the weekend, NFL.com 's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport disclosed that Dolphins' edge rusher Bradley Chubb and Titans' pass rusher Arden Key are generating interest from multiple teams. Notably, Green Bay Packers edge rusher Kingsley Enagbare is also generating trade inquiries right now.
