The 2022 NFL trade deadline is fast approaching. When the clock strikes 4:00 PM ET on November 1st, it will be the Tuesday after week 8. Historically, the biggest blockbusters are booked in the offseason, but given how much parity there is in the six weeks of the year across the league, it’s hard to work on the phone to craft or entertain an offer. There may be a flock of teams with
Some clubs are poised to become buyers. Others are in a better position to sell. But here are 12 potential moves, one of which he already made Thursday (as we predicted).

update, trade completed on thursday
49ers got: RB Christian McCaffrey
What the Panthers Will Earn: 2023 second-round pick, 2023 third-round pick, 2023 fourth-round pick, 2024 fifth-round pick.
Kyle Shanahan can outsmart most people with his high-running system, but McCaffrey is of a different kind – a proven pass catcher, so Jimmy Garoppolo (and/or future Trey Lance) gives it all down.Not to mention another Swiss Army knife alongside the Deebo Samuel. It won’t be an easy pill to swallow for Panthers fans, but Carolina’s long-term needs are more important, and two picks and a third-round rookie are a reasonable value for an expensive, injury-prone RB. is.
The Rams will win: RB Melvin Gordon, 2023 sixth-round pick
Broncos win: RB Kam Akers
Gordon was briefly shunned for a fumbling problem in Denver, but Akers has already been shopped out of Los Angeles’ non-existent ground game. Gordon will complement Darrell Henderson, Jr., while Akers will immediately take over the bruised Broncos’ RB1, making contact with Javonte Williams in 2023.
Get Invoice: RB Antonio Gibson
Commanders get: 2023 4th round pick
Rather than surrender multiple picks to McCaffrey, Buffalo could bolster its backfield by allowing Ron Rivera to make Bryan Robinson Jr. the undisputed number one in Washington. As a former hybrid wideout, Gibson’s skill set fits perfectly into the offense that Josh Allen was built to televise, and his arrival marks James Cook as being playmaking No. 2 in the playoff run. take the pressure off.
The packer gets: WR Kendrick Bourne
Patriots gain: 2023 4th round pick
Between Vaughn and Nelson Agholor, the Patriots wideout on the fringe probably offers what Aaron Rodgers so desperately lacks: proven downfield speed. But the former is younger, cheaper, and more balanced overall, making it an immediate chess piece for A-Rod and a better multi-year play for general manager Brian Gutekunst.
Ravens will gain: WR Denzel Mims
Jets will get: 2023 conditional sixth-round pick
Adding DeSean Jackson is fun, but trusting the 35-year-old to stay healthy at this point is like trusting the slowest linebacker to chase Lamar Jackson. Mims, meanwhile, is only 25 years old and could be in contention for his role in Baltimore’s lackluster WR his co-op until 2023. His Jets GM Joe Douglas has been friendly with the Ravens, spending the first 15 years of his career in Baltimore.
The Rams will win: OT Riley Leaf
What the bear gets: 2023 sixth-round pick
Reiff, who is depleted on the Chicago bench and is no longer full-time material, has started his career with 139 tackles left or right. Matthew Stafford has been hiding behind some shoddy protection for most of this year.With blindside blocker Joe Noteboom out this year, the Rams are using whatever insurance they can get. I was able to.
Chief gets: DE Cameron Jordan
Saints gain: 2023 second-round pick, 2023 third-round pick
Jordan, the greatest saint of all time, may want to retire in New Orleans, but he probably prefers to go out chasing the ring and his team is desperate for a replacement to rebuild. It’s the same price the Rams paid Von Miller in 2021. The Chiefs could capitalize on a more consistent edge presence alongside Chris Jones when seeking Lombardi, and the natural follow-up would be…
What the Browns Will Earn: DE Frank Clark
Chief gets: 2023 fifth-round pick
In a scenario where Jordan lands in Kansas City, Clarke and his lucrative contract could be shipped after a few underwhelming seasons. But both starters are beaten, their ‘D’ needs reinforcement and they have money to spend. As a bonus, Cleveland is Clark’s hometown.
Patriots gain: DT Daron Payne
Commanders get: 2023 second-round pick, 2024 second-round pick
Bill Belichick already has a stingy defense with Christian Barmore and Davon Godshaw on the interior, but when did that stop him from investing in more pieces for the front seven? Pat’s run ‘D’ could also make a leap, and Payne could be one of the best prospects at the position. He happens to be on a team that is already competing with big money deals along the defensive front.
What dolphins get: OLB Robert Quinn
What the bear gets: 2024 fourth-round pick, 2023 seventh-round pick
Quinn has been a trade chip since the departure of Khalil Mack this offseason. And Miami, which hired him for just one season in 2018, ranks 22nd in defensive sack percentage. It could end up being even worse, as it could be cut back to save you big bucks.
Seahawks win: LB Rokan Smith
What the bear gets: 2023 third-round pick, 2024 fourth-round pick
Pete Carroll and company previously burned themselves by spending picks on famous defensive veterans. You will get the building blocks of the year.
The Steelers got: CB William Jackson III, 2024 sixth-round pick
Commanders get: QB Mason Rudolph, 2024 7th round pick
Pittsburgh shouldn’t be in a hurry to confiscate assets for a high-paid struggling corner who’s about to turn 30, but their secondary could take advantage of reinforcements and Jackson’s coming out of Houston. I liked it and it was revived. Former AFC North rival in this position before. Rudolph, on the other hand, has nothing to do with Kenny Pickett and Mitchell Trubisky at QB, but at least he can give Washington some extra insurance for the inevitable QB competition in 2023. Bonus: he does. I grew up cheering for Commander!
Vikings gain: S. Jonathan Abram
Raiders get: 2024 fifth-round pick
Minnesota are cruising for a possible playoff, but with first-round Luis Cine safely injured, Camryn Bynum used more thumpers to pair with Harrison Smith on the back end. Abram was basically the Lost Cause in Las Vegas, demoted to the bench after the capricious run of the successor administration that drafted him.
