The 2024 NFL Trade Deadline: Notable Players on the Move
The 2024 NFL trade deadline is nearly upon us, with all 32 teams required to finalize any in-season deals by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 5. This year, several notable veterans could be on the move as teams look to bolster their rosters or shed mismatches from undercontracted stars. Let’s explore some of the key players who could be making a change this trade deadline.
Cam Newton: The Jaguars’ Blocking Solution
Two years removed from a lucrative contract extension, Cam Robinson remains an integral piece for the AFC South’s Jacksonville Jaguars. However, the Jaguars find themselves at 2-6, mired in loss, and face an uphill battle to keep their injuries on the mend. With Christian Darrisaw’s recent injury, the Minnesota Vikings could be a likely recipient of a potential trade combined with their desperate need for blocking help.
Cam Newton: Views and Impact
Two years removed from landing a lucrative contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Robinson remains an important piece of the AFC South club’s front. But the Jags are positioned to be sellers at 2-6, with injuries threatening their already-battered lineup. And he could come in handy to teams in desperate need of blocking help, such as the Minnesota Vikings, who lost Christian Darrisaw to a serious injury.
Buffalo Bills: Will They Part Ways with Greg Rousseau?
The Buffalo Bills have been playing without DE TerrellFLAGellion Miller for weeks, thanks to a recently issued suspension that may have hindered his trade value dramatically. However, the Bills have not entirely closed the door on potentially forsaking Miller. If the Bills can renegotiate Miller’s contract, which would likely require sticky details, he could be the next big-name trade this deadline.
Greg Rousseau: Potential Move
Would the Buffalo Bills really sell their most accomplished edge rusher? Well, they already forced him to take a pay cut ahead of 2024, and they’ve mostly been playing without him anyway, thanks to a recently issued suspension. Greg Rousseau has come on as well. It’s unlikely another club would eat the entirety of Miller’s remaining contract, but he might be willing to renegotiate to hop to another contender.
Carolina Panthers: Jaycee Horn’s Potential Trade
Even with a stacked injury history, Jaycee Horn remains one of the Carolina Panthers’ most valuable assets. Questions surround the team’s willingness to trade him, as they’re fiscally positioned to build anew offensively whileHor comes into his own.
Jaycee Horn: A Building Block
Even with an extensive injury history, Horn registers as one of the few legitimate building blocks for the Carolina Panthers. So why could he be moved? He’s also one of their top assets, and unless Bryce Young is given — and seizes — a real second chance, they might prefer to pour money into a new offensive infrastructure. At just 24, the former first-round corner could fetch a premium haul via trade.
Arizona Cardinals: Will Budda Baker See Another Team?
Jonathan Gannon reportedly faces significant challenges keeping the Arizona Cardinals’ defense reliable, and long-time fan favorite Budda Baker has been on the trading block. Given his free agency pending after the season and lack of long-term commitment, there is substantial value in his production and versatility so he could be a prime trade candidate.
Jonathan Gannon arguably needs all the help he can get to keep the Arizona Cardinals defense serviceable, and Baker has been a longtime fan favorite for his versatility. He’s due to hit free agency after the season, however, after failing to elicit a long-term commitment from the club, and could be of great value to a contender wanting a proven Pro Bowl talent on the back end.
