The NFL trade deadline is right around the corner, and you're probably familiar with a few names that may or may not be on the trade block. Pass rushers Khalil Mack and Josh Sweat could be on the move. Fans are interested to see what happens with Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., and maybe Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is shipped off to a contender.
The trade chatter is usually more entertaining than the deals that actually take place before that Nov. 10 deadline, but we've been surprised before. Remember when the Jaguars sent cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Los Angeles Rams in 2019? Or when the Carolina Panthers dealt running back Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers in 2022?
Those two players definitely needed a change of scenery. Who are some current NFL stars who could use one as well? Below, we will break down five players who more than likely won't be dealt at the trade deadline but whom we would like to see moved.
Let's begin with a star running back. Jonathan Taylor is still one of the best running backs in the NFL, but his Indianapolis Colts are struggling. Indy just lost to the previously winless Titans, which led to the firing of general manager Chris Ballard on Monday.
Quarterback Daniel Jones has really struggled this season. He threw for 269 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions on Sunday while registering a QBR of 24.5. Jones is averaging 215.0 passing yards per game and has thrown four touchdowns compared to six interceptions.
At what point do you consider throwing Anthony Richardson back in the lineup? Taylor, on the other hand, has racked up 655 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns through the first six games of the season. He just became the fastest player to reach 8,000 career rushing yards since Adrian Peterson, and he should be carrying the rock for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
