Overview
- Sportsnaut names Tyreek Hill, Kirk Cousins, Travis Etienne Jr., David Njoku, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Alvin Kamara, L’Jarius Sneed and Romeo Doubs as plausible in-season trade chips.
- ESPN’s Dan Graziano highlights Dolphins starters Tyreek Hill and Jaelan Phillips as potential trade targets after Miami’s 0-3 start, noting Hill’s conduct-policy risk and Phillips’ fifth-year option status.
- The 2025 NFL trade deadline is Nov. 4 at 4:00 PM ET, creating a window for contenders and rebuilders to recalibrate rosters and cap commitments.
- Cousins is viewed as a rare midseason QB trade possibility because his cost drops by about $1.53 million each week, improving feasibility for teams facing injuries or poor quarterback play.
- Youth movement and contract leverage shape several cases: Jacksonville’s Bhayshul Tuten and Lequint Allen Jr. pressuring Etienne’s role, Cleveland’s Harold Fannin Jr. boosting the case to move Njoku, the Giants weighing Thibodeaux’s fully guaranteed 2026 option, Tennessee’s flexibility with a potential pre-June 1 path on Sneed, and Green Bay’s Doubs becoming movable based on the health timelines of Christian Watson and Jayden Reed.
