2025 NFL Trade Block Big Board Entering Week 6

We're less than a month away from the NFL trade deadline, which means this year's flurry of deals could begin at any time.

Several teams have lost key players due to injuries, while others have learned they're not going to contend in 2025.

Eight teams currently have one or fewer wins after five weeks.

Here, you'll find our top 10 trade targets, ranked based on upside, past production, positional value, contract status, likely availability, projected price point, and recent buzz. We weigh both the value and likelihood of being traded equally against overall talent.

We'll also examine some potential suitors for each player—based primarily on updated team needs, injuries, and any relevant recent buzz—and project trade values based on factors such as positional value, player upside, player age, and any comparable recent deals.

Which players are most likely to be available entering Week 6? Who should be at the top of teams' lists of targets? What do these players likely cost? Let's run down the list.

10. Russell Wilson, QB, New York Giants

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 6th-Round Pick

The hype surrounding rookie QB Jaxson Dart took a bit of a hit with the New York Giants' loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. However, that doesn't mean they are about to pivot back to Russell Wilson.

This makes Wilson a logical trade chip, if New York can find an interested partner. The problem is that any potential market for the 36-year-old took a hit when the Cleveland Browns traded Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday.

However, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported late last month that Wilson is expected to draw trade interest before the deadline.

"Wilson is expected to emerge as a trade candidate prior to the deadline on Nov. 4, the target of a QB-needy team in need of a veteran, according to sources around the league," they noted.

The primary reason Wilson might draw interest? He's cheap. With a base salary of just $2 million, he would be a budget alternative for any team currently getting poor quarterback play or in need of a veteran mentor.

He will also remain the most sensible QB target if and when another starter goes down with a long-term injury.

Potential Suitors: Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 4th-Round Pick

According to Fox Sports' Ralph Vacchiano, the Browns, New York Jets and Saints are expected, by "multiple NFL sources," to be sellers ahead of the deadline. That's unsurprising since the three teams have a combined two wins between them.

For the Browns, trading cornerback Greg Newsome II ahead of the deadline would make sense.

Yes, he is one of Cleveland's defensive starters, and its defense is the only thing that has made the Browns competitive this season. However, they are now auditioning rookie QB Dillon Gabriel and are already looking ahead to the future.

Newsome is set to be a free agent in the spring, so cashing him in for draft capital would be sensible.

Potential Suitors: Detroit Lions, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

*Update: Cleveland traded Newsome and a 2026 6th-round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for cornerback Tyson Campbell and a 2026 7th-round pick on Wednesday evening, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.

8. Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints

Saints RB Alvin Kamara

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 4th-Round Pick

The Saints picked up their first win of the season on Sunday, besting the Giants.

While keeping standout running back Alvin Kamara would help keep the Saints competitive and allow them to continue evaluating quarterback Spencer Rattler, trading the 25-year-old would also make sense.

Moving Kamara, who has recorded 17 receptions for 360 scrimmage yards and a touchdown, would likely bring a quality return. That's relevant because the Saints may dive back into the quarterback market next year if Rattler or rookie Tyler Shough can't solidify the position.

There's a chance Kamara would be a cap casualty next offseason anyway. New Orleans is projected to be $18.8 million over the salary cap, and it could save $8.5 million by releasing the 30-year-old with a post-June 1 designation in the spring.

With Kendre Miller taking over a bigger role in the offense—he received more carries than Kamara in Week 5—the Saints have a chance to make a move.

Potential Suitors: Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers

7. Breece Hall, RB, New York Jets

Jets RB Breece Hall

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 3rd-Round Pick

The New York Jets are going nowhere fast under new head coach Aaron Glenn, though the new regime was always expected to be overseeing a rebuild.

It's hard to judge Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey too harshly until they've had time to put their own spin on the roster.

Expect the Jets to part with multiple players from the former regime. Running back Breece Hall is one of those. He's also an impending 2026 free agent who is likely to depart in the offseason anyway.

While Braelon Allen's knee injury would make it a little tougher for New York to justify moving its starting back, building for the future should be the top priority.

Hall, 24, has two seasons with 1,300-plus scrimmage yards on his resume and should draw a sizeable trade package.

Virtually any playoff hopeful with a need for running back depth should be interested in Hall, even if the Jets are inclined to stick with a high price tag.

Potential Suitors: Arizona Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs

6. Riq Woolen, CB, Seattle Seahawks

Seahawks CB Riq Woolen

Projected Trade Value: 2026 Conditional Fourth-Round Pick

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen is only 26 years old, has 51 starts on his resume and has logged 11 interceptions and 42 passes defended as a Pro.

However, Seattle could be more interested in moving him than extending the impending 2026 free agent.

"Woolen's playing time has diminished, and in a contract year, teams believe he could be available," Rapoport posted on X last month.

While Woolen was stellar early in his career—he allowed an opposing passer rating of just 48.7 as a rookie in 2022—he's struggled to mesh with Mike Macdonald's defense.

This year, he has allowed an opposing passer rating of 111.2 in coverage. However, this doesn't mean he couldn't help a different team in a different situation.

Potential Suitors: Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens

5. Kayvon Thibodeaux, Edge, New York Giants

Giants edge Kayvon Thibodeaux

Projected Trade Value: 2026 2nd-Round Pick and/or starting-caliber receiver.

Following Malik Nabers' season-ending injury, the Giants need receiver help.

The offense, and Jaxson Dart, struggled with Nabers out of the lineup in Week 5. Trading pass-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux might just help New York land a pass-catcher.

The 24-year-old was the fifth overall pick in the 2022 draft, but New York has since added Brian Burns and rookie Abdul Carter, who are now its top two sack artists.

However, Thibodeaux should still bring a premium return. He's still young, has logged 2.5 sacks and eight QB pressures this season and is under contract on a rookie deal for two more seasons.

Thibodeaux is set to play on the fifth-year option in 2026.

Even if New York can't land a receiver now, it should be interested in getting more help for Dart in 2026.

Potential Suitors: San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

4. Jaelan Phillips, Edge, Miami Dolphins

Dolphins edge Jaelan Phillips

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 4th-Round Pick

Teams in need of pass-rushing help might be able to pry Jaelan Phillips away from the Miami Dolphins for a reasonable price. They fell to 1-4 on Sunday and appear close to all but quitting on the season.

The Dolphins truly felt dejected after blowing a 17-0 lead and losing to the Carolina Panthers.

Phillips, meanwhile, is playing on the fifth-year option and will likely depart in 2026 free agency if he isn't dealt. He's been a solid edge-defender when healthy, but Miami has a deep rotation that also includes Zach Sieler, Bradley Chubb, Matthew Judon and Chop Robinson.

Injuries have impacted Phillips over the past few years, but he's still only 26 years old and should interest teams looking to invest in a younger defender.

Potential Suitors: Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys

3. David Njoku, TE, Cleveland Browns

Browns TE David Njoku

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 4th-Round Pick

Tight end David Njoku continues to be one of Cleveland's most reliable offensive players, but he is also one of the Browns' most sensible trade chips.

Harold Fannin Jr. has impressed and appears poised to take over as Cleveland's long-term starting tight end. Through five weeks, the rookie has caught 21 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown.

Njoku has caught 20 for 195 and a score.

While there's value in having two pass-catching tight ends—especially for a team trying to support a young signal-caller—the Browns have to be thinking long-term.

Njoku is set to be a free agent in 2026, and Cleveland should be able to get, at worst, a middle-round pick for him.

Potential Suitors: Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco 49ers

2. Trey Hendrickson, Edge, Cincinnati Bengals

Bengals edge Trey Hendrickson

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 2nd-Round Pick

The Bengals clearly still believe they can stay in the playoff hunt until late in the season, when Joe Burrow may be able to return from a toe injury. That's the only reason for Tuesday's trade to acquire Joe Flacco from the rival Browns.

Of course, the move feels like an attempt to appease a fanbase rather than one that will help the Bengals win. The biggest issue with Jake Browning has been his interceptions—eight of them over four games.

Flacco had six picks in his four starts with the Browns.

Still, the Bengals probably view the veteran as an upgrade over Browning, which will prevent them from being in full-on fire-sale mode. If they don't start racking up wins, though, pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson should become available.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported in August that the Bengals wanted a 2026 first-round pick and a young defensive player in return for Hendrickson.

They probably can't expect that return, but they would have to consider a strong offer for the impending 2026 free agent, especially if they're below .500 at the deadline.

Potential Suitors: Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers

1. Chris Olave, WR, New Orleans Saints

Saints WR Chris Olave

Projected Trade Value: Conditional 2026 1st-Round Pick

If the Saints are looking to cash in veteran talent as part of their rebuild, wideout Chris Olave would likely be their top trade chip.

The 25-year-old has two 1,000-yard seasons on his resume and appears to again be healthy after injuries limited him to eight games in 2024.

Olave has started all five contests this year and caught 33 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown.

The Ohio State product is also set to play on the fifth-year option in 2026, meaning he's under contract for two more seasons.

And, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, teams believe the Saints will be willing to sell the 25-year-old.

Olave should be high on the wish list of receiver-needy teams.

Potential Suitors: New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers
