The NFL trade deadline, set for November 10, is fast approaching, and several teams could use the coming weeks to reshape their rosters.
While some teams are aiming for the playoffs, others are already beginning to prepare for the future by trading veterans for draft picks.
Eight players are drawing particular attention due to their contract situations, their performances, or their teams' ambitions.
Khalil Mack, linebacker for the Los Angeles Chargers
After a 0-5 start to the season, the Chargers might consider parting ways with Mack. At 35, the veteran already has three quarterback sacks this season and remains capable of helping a championship-contending defense.
Tony Pollard, running back for the Tennessee Titans
The Titans are also off to a rough start. Pollard, who surpassed 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first two seasons with Tennessee, could be of interest to a team looking to bolster its offense.
Josh Sweat and Budda Baker, Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals could continue to accumulate draft picks. Sweat, who recorded 12 sacks last season, would offer an attractive option to improve defensive pressure. Baker, an eight-time Pro Bowl selection, could join a team capable of giving him a better chance to make the playoffs.
Josh Uche, Miami Dolphins
With a 0-5 record, Miami might look to acquire draft picks in exchange for certain players. Uche, under contract for just one season, represents an affordable option for a team looking to strengthen its defensive unit.
Brian Thomas Jr., Daron Payne, and Jerry Jeudy are among the other candidates
Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars
Despite Jacksonville's reluctance to trade him, Thomas could attract some attractive offers. His struggles to replicate his rookie-year performance and the Jaguars' depth on offense could influence management's decision.
Daron Payne, Washington Commanders
Payne could become a target for a playoff contender looking to improve its run defense. Washington will also need to consider his contractual future, as his deal is set to expire in February.
Jerry Jeudy, Cleveland Browns
The presence of several young offensive players has reduced Jeudy's role in Cleveland. His contract could allow the Browns to consider a trade to acquire assets for the future.
A trade deadline that could shake up several teams
These eight players are potential candidates, but no trade is guaranteed. The results of the coming weeks, team demands, and contract negotiations will determine which moves are made before November 10.
