With the NFL trade deadline less than two weeks away, several high-profile players have already been moved, including Joey Porter Jr. to the Cowboys, Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Texans, Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks, DeForest Buckner to the 49ers, and Jeffery Simmons to the Bears. CBS Sports has ranked 25 potential trade targets across the league, highlighting key situations to watch.
Philadelphia Eagles
Saquon Barkley's contract complexity and injury situation make him a potential target for teams seeking explosiveness at running back. Defensive tackle Moro Ojomo is in the final year of his rookie deal and could be moved after the Eagles invested heavily in Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis. Linebacker Nolan Smith, whose fifth-year option was picked up, and tight end Dallas Goedert, on a renegotiated $1.3 million base salary, are also mentioned as possible trade pieces.
Indianapolis Colts
Jonathan Taylor remains one of the league's best running backs despite a struggling offense; the Colts would incur only $10 million in dead money if traded. Wide receiver Josh Downs has reportedly requested a trade and is in the final year of his rookie contract.
Tennessee Titans
Safety Amani Hooker, versatile with three years left on his contract, is a valuable asset. Running back Tony Pollard, 29, on a $6.7 million base salary, shows strong advanced metrics. Wide receiver Calvin Ridley has fallen out of favor and could provide depth elsewhere.
Los Angeles Chargers
Edge rusher Khalil Mack, on a one-year $8 million deal, could be had for a late pick. Tuli Tuipulotu, 24, shows strong pressure rates. Safety Derwin James, 31, has a recent extension but high base salaries may limit return. Wide receiver Quentin Johnston, with only eight catches and an $18 million fifth-year option, and cornerback Donte Jackson, on a $6 million final year, are also candidates.
Arizona Cardinals
Safety Budda Baker, 30, with base salaries of $14.4 million and $16.1 million, is the team's best asset for future value. Linebacker Josh Sweat is having a down year but has a strong track record. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett is expendable if the Cardinals turn to rookie Carson Beck.
Miami Dolphins
Defensive end Zach Sieler remains a quality player with affordable future salaries. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks, 29, recently extended, could be moved after the emergence of rookie Jacob Rodriguez.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has fallen out of favor, not playing a second-half snap in the last game, but his rookie production could fetch a second-round pick similar to Marvin Harrison Jr.
Washington Commanders
Nose tackle Daron Payne is in the final year of his contract with a $16.4 million base salary; the team could get value before free agency.
New York Jets
Defensive end Will McDonald IV, with 10.5 and 8 sacks the past two seasons, has seen snaps reduced; his fifth-year option was picked up but he remains affordable.
Las Vegas Raiders
Quarterback Kirk Cousins may be nearing the end of his starting role as rookie Fernando Mendoza awaits; he could serve as a quality backup or fill-in starter.
Minnesota Vikings
Wide receiver Jauan Jennings has been uninvolved in the offense; the unbeaten Vikings may not sell, but his situation bears monitoring.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Linebacker Yaya Diaby is in the final year of his rookie contract and unlikely to be re-signed given the emergence of David Walker and the drafting of Rueben Bain Jr.; a loss in upcoming weeks could put him on the trade block.
