NFL Trade Deadline Approaches with Plenty of Buzz

As the trade deadline rapidly approaches at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 5, teams around the league are preparing for potential moves to bolster their rosters. The landscape of the NFL is shifting, especially with key players up for grabs and teams actively working the phones.

In Las Vegas, Raiders owner Mark Davis has made it clear that defensive end Maxx Crosby is not on the trading block. Meanwhile, in Carolina, Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson and Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk are reportedly available for trade, creating some buzz among teams looking to enhance their wide receiver corps.

The Los Angeles Rams are also making headlines, as reports suggest they are open to trading cornerback Tre’Davious White. Additionally, there are whispers about the Rams being eager to move wide receiver Cooper Kupp, even if it means covering part of his salary.

In an interesting development, the Tennessee Titans have reached an agreement to trade wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Kansas City Chiefs, with Tennessee agreeing to pay about half of his remaining salary. This move marks a significant shift for both teams.

Switching gears, the New Orleans Saints have given running back Alvin Kamara a new contract, which seems to wrap up discussions about a potential trade. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles is not looking to acquire another wide receiver despite injuries to starters Chris Godwin and Mike Evans.

The Lions might be seeking additional help on the defensive side, specifically a pass rusher, while the 49ers are evaluating all options to address their need for a wide receiver. For the Panthers, head coach Dave Canales remains tight-lipped about the possibility of trading second-year quarterback Bryce Young.

With the deadline just days away, teams are gearing up for what could be a whirlwind of activity. Whether it’s through trades or contract extensions, the developments will surely shape the remainder of the season.
