Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor tops a list of 25 players who could be dealt before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 4 p.m. ET. NFL analyst Matt Bowen and national NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler assembled the ranking, which orders players by the value they would offer a new team rather than by how likely they are to be traded. Each entry carries an estimated probability of a move, reporting from Fowler and film analysis from Bowen.
Taylor carries a 30% chance of moving. He is averaging 109.3 total yards per game and is tied for first in the league with eight rushing touchdowns. He has 17 rushes of 10 or more yards, tied for the fourth most. Indianapolis is signed to him long term, and teams have expressed heavy interest. The list points to Seattle, Washington, New Orleans, Denver and Minnesota as possible landing spots.
Jacksonville wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. ranks second at 45%. League executives sense his time in Jacksonville is ending as his targets and playing time decline. He caught 87 passes for 10 touchdowns as a rookie in 2024 but stands at nine receptions for 105 yards and one score this season. At 6-foot-3 and 209 pounds, he can separate at multiple levels. Kansas City and Pittsburgh are among the teams looking for receiver help, with the Chiefs, Steelers and 49ers listed as fits.
Arizona edge rusher Josh Sweat follows at 40%. One NFC executive said, "Sweat to Dallas makes a lot of sense to me. That's a profile fit." Sweat is in the second year of a four-year, $76 million contract and would want a new deal, which could complicate a trade. He had 12 sacks and 37 pressures for Arizona last season, compared with two sacks and 10 pressures in 2026. Dallas, Chicago and San Francisco are named as fits.
Tampa Bay's Yaya Diaby sits at 35%. The Buccaneers are not expected to pay the 2027 free agent, and second-year rusher David Walker has four sacks as a potential replacement. Diaby, 27, has three sacks and six tackles for loss in 2026. An acquiring club could also collect a compensatory pick if he signs elsewhere in free agency. Cleveland, Seattle and Dallas are listed as fits.
Cleveland's Jerry Jeudy is at 20%. The Browns are not shopping him but would weigh a substantial offer. Jeudy set a career high with 1,229 receiving yards in 2024 and has 16 receptions this season. Washington defensive tackle Daron Payne carries a 25% chance; he is a 2027 free agent with a $16.4 million base salary, and Washington sits at 1-4-1. Jacksonville, the Giants and Tampa Bay are named as fits for Payne.
The remaining players on the list include the Chargers' Khalil Mack, Philadelphia's Riq Woolen, Arizona's Budda Baker, Pittsburgh's Patrick Queen and Tennessee's Jermaine Johnson II. Each carries a trade probability between 20% and 35%. The deadline falls on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET.
