NFL players who could be dealt at the trade deadline
The NFL Trade Deadline has become more exciting recently, with bigger moves becoming common. Here’s a look at 25 players who could be moved before the deadline on November 1.
Matt Rhule. Burns is arguably their most valuable trade chip, coming off a Pro Bowl season and tallying four sacks in his first five games this year. The Panthers might opt to build around the former first-round pick, but some of the offers could be enticing.
Amon-Ra St. Brown continues to look like a budding star, and first-round pick Jameson Williams will return soon from knee surgery. The poor start for the Lions could make Chark available, as a result.
Baker Mayfield before getting injured. The former first-round pick won’t trick anyone as a starter at this point, but he could provide quality depth for a team that thinks they can develop the former first-round pick.
Khalil Herbert has looked just as capable. With an expiring contract, Montgomery could play the second half of the season elsewhere.
Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett. He’s been mentioned in trade rumors since training camp and would be a decent acquisition for a team looking to add experience quarterback depth.
Noah Fant out of the way. Unfortunately, his snaps have dwindled to almost nothing recently, as the Broncos’ new coaching staff seems unimpressed. A change of scenery would probably be best for the third-year tight end.

Chicago moved on from Khalil Mack and Akiem Hicks in the offseason, but they have a couple of defensive stars left. Quinn is the most prominent after making his third Pro Bowl last season with 18.5 sacks, and the veteran has a reasonable two seasons left on his contract. Contenders could line up if the Bears make Quinn available.

Smith requested a trade before the season started, but he co-exists with the Bears for now. The fifth-year linebacker is among the league lead in tackles and would certainly fetch a nice return if Chicago trades him.
