NFL Teams Make Moves Ahead of Trade Deadline
Las Vegas and New York have made headlines this week as the 2024 NFL trade season kicks off in full swing. The Las Vegas Raiders dealt star wide receiver Davante Adams to the New York Jets on Tuesday, marking the first major trade of the season. Shortly after, the Buffalo Bills acquired Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns. With the trade deadline approaching on November 5, more moves are expected as teams strategize their playoff runs or begin rebuilding for the future.
Several teams, including the Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, and New England Patriots, seem to be focusing on long-term prospects rather than immediate playoff hopes. Coach Jerod Mayo of the Patriots recently hinted at the necessary timeline for rebuilding, stating, “It’s going to take time to continue to build out the roster, and that’s how it is.”
As the trade deadline looms, franchises still in contention are looking to strengthen their rosters, while those out of the race may consider selling their assets. This week’s potential trade candidates include Diontae Johnson of the Panthers, Walker Little from the Jaguars, and Jonathan Jones of the Patriots. Each of these players is with struggling teams, making them appealing targets for franchises hoping to make playoff pushes.
New York is also pondering a move for Mike Williams, a Jet who might now be expendable with Adams in town. Furthermore, Russell Wilson has been taken off the trade block, as he gathers first-team reps in Pittsburgh. As for the Cincinnati Bengals, there seems to be a revival, making wideout Tee Higgins less likely to be traded.
The landscape is changing fast in the NFL, and several players and teams are under the microscope as we approach the trade deadline. With franchises like the Tennessee Titans and Washington Commanders also eyeing trades, fans should stay tuned for what could be a busy few weeks ahead.
Trade speculation continues to swirl, and each week brings us closer to a critical deadline that could reshape team rosters across the league.
