Rumors, trade candidates, teams to watch

play

The 2024 NFL trade deadline is just a day away. Teams across the league are working diligently to finalize their rosters for the second half of the season and beyond and have until November 5 at 4:00 p.m. ET to make these moves.

There have been a number of deals in the NFL over the past few weeks, and more could be on the horizon the next day. We saw veteran star wide receivers traded: Davante Adams, Amari Cooper, DeAndre Hopkins and Diontae Johnson. There are rumors that more receivers could be sold before the trade deadline. Several teams also need help on the offensive line or want to improve their pass-rush attack and secondary defense.

Here's everything you need to know about the 2024 NFL trade deadline and the latest rumors surrounding the league.

Archer reports that Dallas could be looking to improve the roster after the Cowboys' third straight loss. “The point is that we believe we have a chance to improve our squad.” Contrary to previous statements from Jerry Jones. He recently stated that the Cowboys are not expected to make any moves before the NFL trade deadline.

The Steelers are still hoping for WR help before the 2024 trade deadline

  • Date: November 2, 2024
  • report: ESPN

Schefter reports that the Steelers “were close to acquiring” wide receiver Christian Kirk from the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, the 27-year-old suffered a collarbone injury at the end of the season. As a result, the Steelers abandoned their pursuit of Kirk and turned their attention to other receivers on the market.

Players want to be sold to commanders

  • Date: November 2, 2024
  • report: ESPN

Adam Schefter reports that players have recently told their agents that they want to be traded to the Washington Commanders.

The Cowboys are not expected to make any moves before the 2024 trade deadline

Russini reports that while there is “uncertainty about how the remainder of 2024 will play out” for the Cowboys, they are not expected to make any moves before the NFL trade deadline. That's largely consistent with what Jerry Jones said about the Dallas roster before November 5th.

Jets will not trade WR Garrett Wilson and CB DJ Reed

The Jets have received calls about starting receiver Garrett Wilson and No. 2 cornerback DJ Reed ahead of the 2024 NFL trade deadline, Russini reports. New York is not expected to move either player or recently signed Davante Adams after the team improved to 3-6 on the season with a Week 9 win over the Houston Texans.

Jeff Ulbrich says Allen Lazard injury is 'really weird'

Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich spoke to reporters after New York's “Thursday Night Football” win over the Texans and said the team's No. 3 receiver, Allen Lazard, was dealing with a “really weird injury.” According to Ulbrich, it affects the wideout's sternum and the AC joint in his shoulder, and there is no timetable for his return.

Will the timing of Lazard's injury cause the Jets to keep Mike Williams? It's not guaranteed, but Lazard is on IR and will have to miss at least the next three games. Lazard cannot return until Week 14 at the earliest. Therefore, Williams may have a better chance of staying in New York than initially expected.
