The 2024 NFL trade deadline is fast approaching, with all 32 teams having until 4 p.m. ET on November 5 to finalize any trades before the offseason of 2025. This creates a critical moment for teams looking to make last-minute adjustments to their rosters.
With that in mind, here are five players who are most likely to find new homes before Tuesday’s deadline:
Typically, a 34-year-old wide receiver dealing with a hamstring injury wouldn't attract much attention, but Adam Thielen has demonstrated that he remains a reliable technician when on the field. The fact that he hasn't played since late September might actually work to his advantage, as he’s had plenty of time to recover. The former Minnesota Vikings star would undoubtedly welcome an opportunity to finish his underrated career with a contender.
Former Los Angeles Chargers player Mike Williams has been surrounded by trade rumors ever since Aaron Rodgers indirectly criticized him for a missed route during the New York Jets' loss, which led to the club's acquisition of Davante Adams. Since then, Williams has managed only two catches on four targets, leaving the entire NFL anticipating his next move. As a secondary option for contested catches, he still holds some value.
There have been conflicting reports about Kendrick Bourne's availability, but let’s be honest: with a record of 2-7, the New England Patriots aren’t in a position to be selective about offloading aging role players. Despite struggling with injuries in recent years, Bourne has served as a solid reserve for longer than fellow Patriots receiver K.J. Osborn, another potential trade candidate. A reunion with the San Francisco 49ers could be a logical move.
Cleveland Browns' linebacker Smith has been a rumored target for the Detroit Lions, who are seeking additional pass-rushing depth following Aidan Hutchinson's serious leg injury. NBC News reported on Sunday that the former Pro Bowler is likely to end up in Detroit. It makes sense for the Browns to capitalize on a proven but aging player with an expiring contract.
After switching teams during the 2023 season, Sebastian Joseph-Day is a strong candidate to relocate again. He has been a key contributor to the Tennessee Titans' formidable defense, registering three tackles for loss and four quarterback hits. However, at 29 years old and on a one-year deal after previous stints with both the 49ers and Los Angeles Chargers in 2023, the Titans are eager to acquire as many future picks as possible.
