Among the four major sports, the NFL trade deadline tends to be one of the slowest. It’s rare for big name players to change teams mid-season, but that doesn’t stop analysts from trying to hype up deals.
We don’t know what changed, but for some reason 2024 has been marked as a big year for trades. Even if they aren’t in their prime anymore, we have seen some household names changing teams.
This year’s NFL trade deadline is set for 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 5. Let’s take a look at the moves that happened before the deadline, and then track all of the latest rumors and moves for what is already one of the better NFL trade deadlines in recent memory.

Saints fire Dennis Allen, but full firesale not expected
Nov. 4 — The New Orleans Saints started the season 2-0, showing off a high-octane offense. Less than two months later, the Saints have lost seven games in a row and are now 2-7. The final straw was the most recent loss to the Carolina Panthers, and New Orleans decided to part ways with its head coach. Despite Dennis Allen getting fired, early reports are that the Saints are not expected to complete a full firesale ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline.
While the #Saints fired Dennis Allen after a seven-game losing streak, it doesn’t sound like it’ll be a firesale before tomorrow’s trade deadline. They have gotten calls and could move the likes of CB Marshon Lattimore. But a widespread selloff seems unlikely.

After moving to 3-5, Jerry Jones says he wants to make moves at deadline
Nov. 3 — Jones commented after the loss that he hasn’t given up on the team and that they will probably make some moves ahead of Tuesday’s deadline. After another loss, though, it remains to be seen if the moves will be as buyers or sellers.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team “has some things in the mix” ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline, indicating Dallas could be buyers at the deadline.

Steelers remain in pursuit of WR help
Nov. 3 — Pittsburgh is 6-2 at the bye and sits atop the AFC North standings. As they begin their playoff push, the Steelers are looking for more talent to add at WR, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
After an injury to Jaguars WR Christian Kirk keeps him out of the running, Pittsburgh could be keying in on New York’s Mike Williams and Carolina’s Adam Thielen.
Azeez Ojulari, Za’Darius Smith are in demand as teams search for edge rushers
Nov. 3 — Azeez Ojulari has “been the subject of several calls” from teams in search of another edge rusher, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Depending on the Browns’ result in Week 9, DE Za’Darius Smith could become available.
Detroit’s pursuit of pass-rushing help in the wake of the injury to Aidan Hutchinson has led to inquiries about Smith, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Jets receiving calls about WR Mike Williams
Nov. 3 — The writing may have been on the wall since Week 6 but Williams is ”garnering interest” ahead of the trade deadline, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The Jets’ WR room has quickly gotten crowded and Williams could be the odd man out.
Chiefs looking into acquiring CB Marshon Lattimore
Nov. 2 — The Chiefs are looking to strengthen their title defense with roster improvements. They’ve recently inquired about Saints CB Marshon Lattimore, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Lattimore is inactive for Week 9 and the extent of Kansas City’s interest will depend largely on the four-time Pro Bowlers’ health.
