Adonai Mitchell (WR, Colts)
Mitchell isn’t a highly rumored trade candidate, but the Colts have been distancing themselves from him more and more - especially as the team has skyrocketed to the top of the AFC. Indy is expected to add a piece or two at the deadline, and using Mitchell as part of those trade requests could be a best of both worlds situation for them. The 23-year-old 2nd Round pick carries a $566k deadline salary, and $700k of his 2026 salary is fully guaranteed.
Potential Fits: Cardinals, Patriots, Steelers, Raiders
Breece Hall (RB, Jets)
The Jets have made it clear that trading Hall is not in their plans, but the right offer for a player on an expiring contract should peak a 1-7 team’s interest. NY is on a bye this weekend, furthering their ability to be aggressive before the 11/4 deadline. Hall has $1.7M remaining on his contract for the next 9 weeks, and is a pending free agent next March.
Potentials Fits: Chargers, Rams, Buccaneers
David Njoku (TE, Browns)
The 29-year-old is in a contract year in Cleveland, and is almost certain for a change of scenery this coming March. With just $1.1M remaining on his salary for the next 9 weeks, it’s perfectly plausible that a team or two could look to bolster up their TE room down the stretch.
Potential Fits: Broncos, Chargers, Jaguars, Rams
Dre'Mont Jones (ED, Titans)
The Titans have a half dozen potential candidates this weekend, but teams get especially desperate for pass-rush help this time of year. Jones is on an expiring contract, with $1.2M remaining on his 2025 salary. The 28-year-old has 22 tackles and 3 sacks in 8 games.
Potential Fits: Chiefs, Cowboys, Eagles, Lions, Patriots, Ravens
Jakobi Meyers (WR, Raiders)
Meyers didn’t receive the contract extension he was seeking this offseason, putting his time in Las Vegas on notice. Factor in now a team going in the wrong direction, and a QB1 position very much in flux and it’s not unrealistic to assume that the Raiders could be looking to send out a few dollars at the deadline. Meyers holds a $5.3M salary at the deadline, which might be a little rich for some contenders to take on. Retaining some of that salary could buy LV a better draft pick.
Potential Fits: Steelers, Bills, Patriots, 49ers
Jaelan Phillips (ED, Dolphins)
The 26-year-old is on an expiring contract in Miami, and has seen limited action in each of the past 2+ seasons due to injury. But the former #18 overall pick out of Miami (FL) has big-time pass rush potential - and every contender in football is looking for more of that down the stretch. His current 5th-year option salary contains $6.6M remaining through the final 9 weeks.
Potential Fits: Chiefs, Cowboys, Eagles, Lions, Patriots, Ravens
Joel Bitonio (G, Browns)
Bitonio hasn’t been a strongly rumored candidate, but the 34-year-old has shown frustration in Cleveland recently, and is on an expiring contract with the Browns. There are more than a few notable contenders looking for mid-line help down the stretch, and with just $627,500 remaining on his salary, there’s plenty of reason for interest here.
Potential Fits: Broncos, Buccaneers, Seahawks, 49ers
Logan Wilson (LB, Bengals)
Wilson requested a trade out of Cincy, has seen his snap counts drop ever since, and is now battling a light calf injury that kept him out of the Week 8 lineup. All signs point to a breakup happening here. Acquiring teams can bring in Wilson at $2.9M for the remainder of 2025, with non-guaranteed salary of $6.5M, and $7.2M on the books through 2027. Wilson was the Bengals’ 3rd Round pick out of Wyoming back in 2020.
Potential Team Fits: Dallas, Indianapolis, Washington
Rashid Shaheed (WR, Saints)
The Saints have a 3-pack of weapons in Chris Olave, Alvin Kamara, and Shaheed that have been rumored at the deadline, but it’s starting to become clear that the 27-year-old UDFA out of Weber State could be the odd man out. Shaheed is in the final year of a 2 year, $6.2M contract in New Orleans, with $2.1M remaining on his salary at the deadline.
Potential Fits: Bills, Steelers, Patriots, 49ers
Tariq Woolen (CB, Seahawks)
The 5th round pick is in the final year of his rookie contract, with a little over $2.6M remaining on his 2025 salary. Why would an NFC contender trade a starting CB midseason? It’s long been rumored that Woolen has been a tough fit in Mike McDonald’s system, and the organization has drafted/added around him accordingly. A recent injury to Patrick Surtain II in Denver could really elevate the possibility of this move.
Potential Fits: Broncos, Colts, Bears
