NFL Trade Deadline: League Execs Expect A Handful Of Standout WRs To Be Targets
We aren't even in the heat of trade deadline season in the NFL, and yet we've already seen a few noteworthy trades across the league.
Last week, the New York Giants landed quarterback J.J.
McCarthy, and the Dallas Cowboys swung a big trade for cornerback Joey Porter Jr.
This week, it was the Baltimore Ravens' turn to take a swing, acquiring Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens from the Philadelphia Eagles for multiple draft picks, including a 2028 second-rounder.
Who might be the next standout to move? With just over a month before the Nov.
10 trade deadline, we asked people around the NFL which players we should be keeping an eye on over the next few weeks, and which teams could be in a spot to sell.
Here's what we learned.
Ralph Vacchiano: This could be a good year for teams that are looking for a boost for their offense for the second half of the season, because several talented wide receivers could be available around the trade deadline.
And the cost might not be very high.
Multiple NFL sources told me that five receivers in particular could end up on the trading block — Marvin Harrison Jr. (Arizona Cardinals), Brian Thomas Jr. (Jacksonville Jaguars), Chris Godwin (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Quentin Johnston (Los Angeles Chargers) and Jerry Jeudy (Cleveland Browns).
All but Godwin are former first-round picks, and only Godwin and Jeudy are older than 25.
"There are a lot of receivers with size, talent, speed that, for whatever reason, don’t seem to be in their team’s plans anymore," one team executive told me.
"And some of them aren’t going to cost a lot more than a Day 3 pick.
If you need help [at that position], the upside could be high.
