NFL Trade Deadline Approaches with Increased Activity

Dallas, TX, October 25, 2025

News Summary

As the NFL’s trade deadline nears, teams are actively discussing trades to improve their playoff chances or offload veteran players. The Dallas Cowboys’ trade of Micah Parsons to the Packers highlights potential movement in the league, with many teams looking to strengthen their rosters, especially in the running back position. Players like Breece Hall and Derrick Henry are among those being considered in trade talks as franchises evaluate their performance and future strategies.

Dallas, TX – As the NFL’s November 4 trade deadline approaches, teams are entering into trade discussions to either bolster playoff prospects or offload aging veterans for future assets. This year, the league is anticipated to see an increase in trades as several franchises reevaluate their season standings. The most notable trade so far this season is when the Dallas Cowboys dealt edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, a move that is unlikely to be repeated with trades of such magnitude before the deadline.

Many teams are likely to engage in minor trades, especially to strengthen their running back positions. As the season unfolds, various contenders find themselves utilizing a committee approach at the running back position, leading to heightened interest in available talent. The market is saturated with capable running backs, making trade opportunities promising for teams that need assistance.

The New York Jets, currently sitting at 0-7, face a unique dilemma with running back Breece Hall. Despite Hall averaging 4.6 yards per carry and his potential becoming a free agent after the season, the Jets may consider trading him to gain valuable draft capital to accelerate their rebuilding efforts.

Meanwhile, veteran running back Tony Pollard of the Tennessee Titans finds himself in a tough spot due to a struggling offensive line. Similar to Hall, Pollard could be seeking a fresh start with another team as the Titans look to address their ongoing challenges.

The Baltimore Ravens recently extended 30-year-old running back Derrick Henry, but discussions regarding a potential trade may emerge due to his age and the accrued mileage on his legs, as the Ravens aim to return to playoff contention. The running back trade market is expected to feature several potential candidates, including:

• Malik Dowdle (Carolina Panthers): 551 yards and two touchdowns, set to become a free agent after the season.
• Ford (Cleveland Browns): Averaging just 3.5 yards per carry this season and seeks a new team.
• Chubb (Houston Texans): Presence on the trading block contingent on Joe Mixon’s health.
• Devin Singletary (New York Giants): Struggling for playing time despite having over 1,000 scrimmage yards in past seasons.
• Tyrone Tracy Jr. (Giants) and Wright (Dolphins): Considered potential trade candidates as they fall deeper in their respective depth charts.
• Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints): Although he has expressed a desire to stay in New Orleans, he has emerged in trade discussions.

The NFL’s regular trade deadline is set for November 4 at 4 p.m. ET, and as the date approaches, trade negotiations are expected to intensify. Teams with declining performance records may lead the charge in seeking trades, leading to a more dynamic market as potential sellers and buyers actively work to adjust their rosters.

Moreover, evaluations from around the league suggest that players with high upside or complicated contract situations will be key targets during this trade period. With teams eager to either enhance their playoff ambitions or prepare for future seasons, the 2025 NFL trade deadline promises to be an exciting and strategic moment in the football calendar.
