News Summary
As the NFL trade deadline approaches, teams are making strategic moves, particularly in the running back market. Teams like the Jets and Titans are weighing trades for key players, including Breece Hall and Tony Pollard. With a wealth of talent available, several other running backs are also likely to be traded, which could have significant implications for playoff contenders. Weaker teams may look to offload veterans for draft picks in hopes of rebuilding their rosters.
New York – With the 2025 NFL trade deadline quickly approaching on November 4 at 4 p.m. ET, teams around the league are gearing up for possible roster moves. Following the season’s most significant trade—Dallas Cowboys’ edge rusher Micah Parsons moving to the Green Bay Packers—minors deals are anticipated as teams seek to bolster their playoff chances or offload veterans for future assets.
As the league experiences an influx of talented running backs, several teams are particularly focused on strengthening their backfields. Many contenders have found themselves employing a committee approach at the running back position, prompting them to explore potential trades ahead of the deadline. This year’s running back market is characterized by an abundance of available talent, creating opportunities for teams in need of assistance at the position.
The New York Jets, currently mired in a winless season with a record of 0-7, are facing a crucial decision regarding their running back, Breece Hall. Hall has been performing well, averaging 4.6 yards per carry and is on the verge of entering free agency after this season. Although the Jets are hesitant to trade him, moving Hall could provide them valuable draft capital to accelerate a much-needed rebuild.
Another player potentially on the move is Tony Pollard from the Tennessee Titans. After struggling behind a faltering offensive line, Pollard’s desire for a fresh start via trade seems plausible. The Baltimore Ravens recently extended running back Derrick Henry, but given his age and increasing mileage, they may weigh the option of trading him as they work towards returning to contention.
Additional Potential Trade Candidates
Alongside Hall and Pollard, several other running backs are emerging as trade candidates:
- Malik Dowdle of the Carolina Panthers has accumulated 551 yards and two touchdowns but will become a free agent after this season.
- Ford from the Cleveland Browns is seeking a new team after averaging just 3.5 yards per carry this season.
- Chubb of the Houston Texans is on the trading block, contingent on the health of teammate Joe Mixon.
- Devin Singletary from the New York Giants has struggled to find playing time yet possesses experience with over 1,000 scrimmage yards in past seasons.
- Potential trade candidates Tyrone Tracy Jr. (Giants) and Wright (Dolphins) face diminished roles on their current teams.
- Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints has conveyed interest in staying in New Orleans, but has nonetheless appeared in trade discussions.
The atmosphere of the NFL is heating up as teams assess their rosters and weigh their options. Multiple franchises, especially those with disappointing records, are likely to become active in trade discussions as they aim to adjust their rosters for immediate or future gain. This trade season is expected to showcase a mix of sellers and buyers, signaling an aggressive approach to acquiring players with high upside or favorable contract situations.
As the deadline nears, the dynamics within the league suggest that trade negotiations will intensify, with weaker teams potentially looking to offload veteran players in exchange for promising draft picks. The alterations and adjustments made as a result of this heightened activity could have lasting impacts heading into the latter half of the season and beyond.
