The NFL trade deadline is approaching this Tuesday and there are several players that could be moved before then.

The NFL trade deadline is this Tuesday, October 29 at 4 pm EST and teams have already been active thus far. First, we saw Jalen Ramsey who was moved from the Jacksonville Jaguars to the Los Angeles Rams after weeks of trade speculation. With Ramsey being moved to the Rams they have shipped out Marcus Peters to the Ravens.

Then we saw wide receivers like Mohamed Sanu and Emmanuel Sanders getting moved to contenders like the Patriots and 49ers, respectfully.

There are a few teams that are one-piece away from helping them make a postseason run and then there are the teams that have struggled so far this year that are looking to gain draft picks to rebuild for the future. Either way, this trade deadline appears to be more active than previous years with the number of top players on expiring contracts likely to be moved.

Cincinnati, Miami, Denver, and Atlanta should be active in selling their players at the deadline to gain capital. Teams like Buffalo, New England, San Francisco, and Baltimore will be looking to add a player or two to help them solidify their chances down the stretch.

I expect Cincinnati to ship out players like A.J. Green, Geno Atkins, and Tyler Eifert, while Miami will probably be willing to move just about anybody. However, I expect DeVante Parker and Kenyan Drake to be traded. The Denver Broncos are shopping Chris Harris Jr. to other teams and could land a top pick for the veteran corner.

New England is looking for a tight end to finish off the puzzle after nabbing a wide receiver just last week. Buffalo also needs a wide receiver so expect their name to be tossed in the mix for A.J. Green and DeVante Parker. There will also be other teams such as Indianapolis or Philadelphia who may look to add players near the trade deadline.

As the trade deadline approaches there will be five key players that will have new homes come Tuesday afternoon from this trading frenzy. We’ll break down each trade one by one as the trade deadline approaches on Tuesday afternoon.
