Trade Deadline Looms, Titans Colts Already Sold

The NFL trade deadline falls on Nov. 10, and some teams have already committed to selling.

Tennessee dealt All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons to Chicago, collecting first-round picks in 2027 and 2028 plus a 2027 fourth-round selection. The Titans also sent a 2028 fifth-round pick in the deal. Running back Tony Pollard, safety Amani Hooker and edge rusher Jermain Johnson could follow Simmons out of Nashville.

Indianapolis traded eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to San Francisco for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick. The Colts also sent DeForest Buckner to the 49ers for a 2027 fourth-rounder. Running back Jonathan Taylor could bring a strong return, and wide receiver Josh Downs will draw interest.

Several clubs sit at 2-5 or worse with two weeks left to decide. The Los Angeles Chargers are 0-6, the only winless team in the league. Khalil Mack remains productive as a situational pass rusher, and cornerback Donte Jackson has value. Trading Justin Herbert would carry dead cap hits of $31.6 million this year and $50.4 million in 2027; he also holds a full no-trade clause.

The Miami Dolphins are 1-5. Defensive tackle Zach Sieler, right tackle Austin Jackson and edge Josh Uche could bring draft picks. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks made All-Pro last season.

At 2-5, Arizona can offer edge Josh Sweat and safety Budda Baker. The Cardinals already sent wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. to Houston. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett could become available, which would open snaps for rookie Carson Beck.

The New York Jets hold three first-round picks in 2027 after sending Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas last year. Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall would command the strongest return, and pass rusher Will McDonald draws interest as a former first-round pick.

Washington sits at 1-4-1 after reaching the NFC championship game following the 2024 season. Daron Payne, Stefon Diggs, K'Lavon Chaisson and Dorance Armstrong Jr. could be dealt.

Tampa Bay is 2-5 in an NFC South where every team has a losing record. A win over Atlanta on Sunday would put the Buccaneers a half-game behind Carolina. Jason Licht could stock draft picks if Tampa Bay falls to 2-7 at Chicago. Chris Godwin Jr., Yaya Diaby, A'Shawn Robinson, Kenneth Gainwell and Antoine Winfield Jr. are available. Vita Vea carries a $19.7 million dead cap hit in 2027 if moved.

Philadelphia is 2-5 with five straight losses and no Jalen Hurts for the rest of the season. Howie Roseman already traded Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens to Baltimore. Saquon Barkley remains under contract through 2028 with $2.5 million guaranteed next year; Seattle, Minnesota, Green Bay and Cincinnati could use him. Zach Baun, Riq Woolen, Landon Dickerson and Dallas Goedert could also move.
