2025 NFL Trade Block Big Board Entering Week 9

For NFL teams looking to add reinforcements or offload contracts in-season, it's crunch time. The November 4 trade deadline is less than a week away, and we can expect the coming days to bring a flurry of activity.

We've spent the season tracking the latest trade buzz and identifying the top trade candidates, and we're ready to do it again.

Here, you'll find our top 10 trade targets, ranked based on upside, past production, positional value, contract status, likely availability, projected price point and recent buzz. We weigh both the value and likelihood of being traded equally against overall talent.

We'll also examine some potential suitors for each player—based primarily on updated team needs, injuries, and any relevant recent buzz—and project trade values based on factors such as positional value, player upside, player age, and any comparable recent deals.

Which players are most likely to be available? Who should be at the top of teams' lists of targets? What do these players likely cost? Let's go to the board one last time.

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 2nd-Round Pick and Defensive Player

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen told reporters on Monday that the team has "no plans" to move second-year receiver Brian Thomas Jr. However, his statement conflicts with the trade buzz we've seen in recent days.

On Saturday, The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported the Jaguars are "listening" to trade calls on Thomas, even if a deal is "highly unlikely."

While Coen can say whatever he wants publicly, it's hard to believe Jacksonville wouldn't listen to realistic offers that come through at the deadline. Thomas was a Pro Bowl-caliber star as a rookie in 2024, but something about his game isn't meshing with Coen's offense.

After racking up 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie, the 23-year-old has just 365 yards and one score through seven games.

Prying Thomas away from Jacksonville with three-plus years remaining on his rookie contract wouldn't be easy, so he'll sit on the bottom of our board. Given his proven upside and the value of good young receivers, though, we'd be remiss to leave him off entirely.

Potential Suitors: Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers

Projected Trade Value: 2026 1st-Round Pick and More

Like Thomas, New York Jets defensive lineman Quinnen Williams is a terrific player who wouldn't come cheaply at the trade deadline.

According to Russini, though, this hasn't stopped teams from inquiring.

"Keep an eye on the Jets," she wrote. "Teams have been showing interest in DT Quinnen Williams, although New York's asking price is massive."

The Jets are no longer winless, but they're not about to jump from 1-7 and into the playoff conversation. They're also not likely to view Justin Fields as their quarterback of the future, even if he picked up his first win for New York on Sunday.

A three-time Pro Bowler with 40 sacks on his NFL resume, Williams is the sort of player who would land the Jets premium draft capital that could be used to chase a quarterback in 2026. He won't turn 28 until December, and he's under contract through 2027.

A first-round pick would probably be the starting point for any offer that would actually get New York's interest.

Potential Suitors: Detroit Lions, Pittsburgh Steelers

Projected Trade Value: 2026 1st-Round Pick

The New York Giants have seen enough out of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart that they shouldn't be eager to dump core pieces. They might not be ready to contend this year, but the rebuilding process can be accelerated by his presence.

However, there's no guarantee New York views pass-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux as a core contributor long-term. He was a first-round pick in 2022 and is under contract through 2026, but the Giants have also invested heavily in pass-rushers Brian Burns and Abdul Carter.

According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Giants have told teams that they're not interested in moving Thibodeaux. Trading him would be logical, though, and NFL insider Jordan Schultz has called Thibodeaux a "name to watch."

Is New York really about to give lucrative long-term deals to three edge-rushers when it has other needs on the roster? Probably not.

We're not pulling him off our board with a week to go, even if the price to acquire him is high.

Potential Suitors: San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Projected Trade Value: 2026 4th-Round Pick and/or Veteran Cornerback

The current Las Vegas Raiders regime just doesn't seem to like 2024 second-round pick Jackson Powers-Johnson.

Despite being one of the nation's top centers in college and starting 14 games as a rookie, the 22-year-old was forced to earn his job during the offseason. After regaining a starting role at guard, though, he was benched during a Week 7 blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

While his early 2025 campaign hasn't made a positive impact on Powers-Johnson's trade value, his upside is tremendous. He won the Remington Trophy in 2023 and was widely viewed as a top NFL prospect.

The Bleacher Report Scouting Department ranked him 23rd on its final 2024 draft board.

The Raiders were on bye in Week 8 and may believe they can turn things around over the second half of the season. They don't believe in Powers-Johnson, though, and should move him to a team that does.

Potential Suitors: Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Rams

Projected Trade Value: 2026 3rd-Round Pick

The Seattle Seahawks have every reason to hang onto cornerback Riq Woolen, or at least hold out for a draft trade offer. They are sitting at 5-2, while Woolen has played 92 percent of the defensive snaps in his six appearances.

Yet, the Seahawks are reportedly looking to move the impending 2026 free agent.

"They've been wanting to move him for a while," one executive said, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "He doesn't fit what [head coach Mike Macdonald] wants to do."

Woolen, who has 44 passes defended and 11 interceptions on his resume, isn't going to come cheaply, even if it will require an extension to keep him long-term. Given his ongoing role with the Seahawks, he's likely to cost significantly more than the Tennessee Titans got for Roger McCreary—he's headed to the Los Angeles Rams for a swap of 2026 fifth- and sixth-round picks.

Woolen should bring a Day-2 pick to Seattle, and he should be well worth that to a team looking to add and extend a starting-caliber corner.

Potential Suitors: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles

Projected Trade Value: 2026 5th-Round Pick or Defensive Starter

Earlier this month, ESPN's Adam Schefter mentioned Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews among a list of players "that executives and coaches believe could be available."

While the Ravens may be less inclined to move Andrews than they were just a couple of weeks ago—their Week 9 win, coupled with the Pittsburgh Steelers' loss, closed the gap a bit in the AFC North—they could be open to listening to offers.

Baltimore's offense has been fine. Its 28th-ranked defense has been much more of a problem.

Andrews is 30 years old and will be a free agent in the spring. He's also been more of an ancillary target in Baltimore's offense than he's been in years past—though his six-catch, 91-yard, two-touchdown game in Week 3 showed he can still get it done when needed.

Andrews would probably only interest teams with realistic playoff aspirations, but he could be a solid contributor to a passing attack. Teams with a defensive piece or two to spare could probably jump to the front of the line.

Potential Suitors: Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 6th-Round Pick

According to Russini, the Cincinnati Bengals are still "not planning on moving"standout pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson. They might, however, be open to moving linebacker Logan Wilson—at least, they should be.

As Hendrickson did during the offseason before agreeing to a contract adjustment, Wilson has officially requested a trade. Other teams also believe the defensive captain could be available, according to Fowler.

Moving Wilson would make plenty of sense. He's seen reduced playing time as new defensive coordinator Al Golden has turned to younger linebackers. Despite starting seven of eight games, he's played just 67 percent of the defensive snaps while also playing an expanded special-teams role.

While Wilson is signed through 2027, the Bengals could save $3.6 million by releasing him in the spring.

Potential Suitors: Indianapolis Colts, San Francisco 49ers

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 4th-Round Pick.

Breece Hall ran all over the Bengals in Week 9, helping New York pick up its first win of the season.

While hanging onto Hall might give the Jets a better chance to evaluate the rest of its offense over the second half of the season, it just doesn't seem like the new regime views him as a significant part of the future.

"Hall does not appear to factor into the Jets' long-term plans, which may be best for both sides," SNY's Connor Hughes wrote on Monday.

If the Jets don't plan to bring back the 24-year-old on a market contract in the spring, moving him now would make a ton of sense. He's the sort of high-volume back who should bring a premium return at the deadline—especially with multiple teams dealing with backfield injuries.

Hall has topped 1,000 scrimmage yards twice in his career and is already up to 759 yards in 2025.

The caveat with Hall is that any team interested in acquiring him would also have to be willing to offer the sort of long-term deal that New York isn't.

Potential Suitors: Arizona Cardinals, New Orleans Saints

Projected Trade Value: 2026 4th-Round Pick

The Miami Dolphins got back in the win column in Week 9, but that doesn't mean they're about to salvage their 2025 season.

There's still a strong chance Miami misses the postseason and considers moving on from head coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier—and possibly quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as well—in the offseason.

According to Fowler, there's been plenty of buzz about Miami moving a pass-rusher before the deadline, with Jaelan Phillips as the top target.

"Phillips and teammate Bradley Chubb have circulated in trade rumors," he wrote. "Multiple teams I spoke with believe that Phillips would hold more value than Chubb due to upside."

Phillips, 26, was a productive edge-defender when healthy early in his career and again appears healthy after injury-impacted seasons in 2023 and 2024.

While Phillips is an impending 2026 free agent and would require an extension in the spring, his upside should interest contenders and rebuilding teams alike.

Potential Suitors: Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 4th-Round Pick

It sure feels like the Raiders are gearing up to part with wide receiver Jakobi Meyers.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, "multiple teams" have expressed interest in the impending 2026 free agent, though Las Vegas isn't willing to let him go at a bargain price. Per Schultz, the Raiders want "at least a Day 2 pick."

That's high for a 28-year-old receiver who will require an extension to keep beyond this season. However, Las Vegas has every right to start the negotiations on the high side.

Would the Raiders really play hardball in trade talks regarding a player who probably won't stay beyond this season? Probably not. Meyers requested a trade during the offseason and likely has no interest in returning in 2026.

The recent addition of wideout Tyler Lockett at least gives the Raiders a succession plan if they do decide to move on from Meyers.

Meyers is the best wide receiver who is realistically likely to be available at anything resembling a team-friendly price. Given the rash of receiver injuries we've seen around the league this season, that puts him at the top of our list.
