2024 NFL trade deadline primer: Date, time, notable candidates, potential buyers and sellers

USATSI

Six weeks of the 2024 NFL regular season are nearly in the books. Which means we’re fast approaching the midway point of the fall calendar. And, with that, the in-season trade deadline.

Here’s everything you need to know:

What is the NFL trade deadline?

It’s the official cutoff for any trades between teams until the official start of the 2025 offseason (March 12). After the deadline, players can only be added via free agency, waivers or practice-squad signings.

When is the deadline?

The deadline is 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 5, which is between Weeks 9 and 10 on the regular-season schedule. This is one week later than usual, as the NFL previously held it on the Tuesday following Week 8 from 2012-2023. Prior to that, the deadline was even earlier, falling on the Tuesday after Week 6.

Do deadline deals actually happen?

Absolutely. It’s not quite NBA- or MLB-level activity, but the NFL has seen an uptick in big-name movement over the last decade or so, arguably due to both adjusted deadline dates and an influx of aggressive general managers. Pro Bowlers acquired around recent deadlines include Christian McCaffrey (2022), Amari Cooper (2018), Emmanuel Sanders (2019), T.J. Hockenson (2022), Montez Sweat (2023), Roquan Smith (2022), Von Miller (2021), Jalen Ramsey (2019) and Stephon Gilmore (2021).

Notable trade candidates

The following players have been widely speculated or reported as potential trade chips or register as possible targets due to expiring or bloated contracts, probable team rebuilds, etc.
