Top NFL Stars Likely Available at Trade Deadline
Key Candidates

Player Analysis
- Trey Hendrickson: A top defensive edge player, Hendrickson has recorded four sacks this season and had league-leading stats in 2024. He is seen as a prime fit for several teams like the 49ers and Eagles.
- Jaylen Waddle: Despite the Dolphins’ struggles, Waddle is considered a key offensive player, making a trade unlikely unless an attractive offer comes in.
- Breece Hall: Hall’s performance this season has put him in the spotlight, especially with the Jets’ declining fortunes. Interest from teams like the Chiefs and Chargers is notable.
Other Notable Trade Candidates
- Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, CB, New York Jets – Predicted trade chance: 45%
- Isaiah Likely, TE, Baltimore Ravens – Predicted trade chance: 25%
- David Montgomery, RB, Detroit Lions – Predicted trade chance: 30%
Potential Outcomes
Several teams are evaluating their rosters ahead of the trade deadline. The Bengals are reportedly not inclined to trade players like Hendrickson but may reconsider under specific circumstances. For the Dolphins, while Waddle’s name is circulating in trade talk, most executives believe he will remain in Miami.
The situation with the Jets and Hall is reflecting their critical struggle this season, sitting at 0-7. His potential movement is considered more viable due to team dynamics.
Other players like Alvin Kamara and various cornerbacks may also become available as teams reassess their strategies and long-term plans. As teams look to solidify their futures or make a push for the playoffs, the next two weeks may see significant moves as the deadline approaches.
