We’re into Week 5 of the 2022 NFL season. That means we are one step closer to the trade deadline for this year. Not a single team has him (OK, probably the Texans) admitting the playoffs are out of the question at this point. And the Tuesday after Week 8, he will have clubs ready to sell and others ready to buy when the deadline really approaches on November 1st.
With that in mind, here’s an early look at some notable names that might be available for mid-season deals.
Don’t listen to what the Panthers say about this publicly or privately. If you’re a sinking ship that can’t avoid a reset at quarterback or head coach, you get offers to anyone. Yes, they’re a better team with McCaffrey as a safety valve from the backfield, but his There’s also a big hole that the departure could help fill. was made.
If rookie Brian Robinson Jr. wasn’t literally shot over the summer, Gibson might be on the bench now. The former third-rounder lost his starting rep over the summer, and Robinson has averaged just over 3 yards per carry for a freakish offense at best since landing on injured reserve for rehab. But a year away from his 1,000-yard rushing campaign, the 24-year-old Gibson managed to catch the eye of competitors who were intrigued by his combination of size and versatility. Cheaply signed up to the year.
As Johnson’s own status attests, running backs are in the dozens. The Browns have other options on the spot and could use the draft pick they get following the big signing of Deshawn Watson, but another club is intrigued by Johnson’s fresh leg. You may be
Believe it or not, Agholor is on pace to record a career-best receiving yards this year and is an occasional explosive on the outside. But in New England, with Jacobi Myers nearing free agency, two tight ends heavily invested, and who’s enduring QB injuries, who knows what else will happen. not. Dealing with Agholor could save them $9.8 million instantly, but another team desperate for proven speed decided to hire him ahead of its 2023 launch into the market. you might be interested.
At this point, Thomas’ name is much bigger than what he can reliably offer on the field. For all of his past stardom as a possessed monster, he simply hadn’t stayed healthy in three years. New Orleans has also already disposed of his 2023 first-round pick and is becoming increasingly desperate for his capital in the draft. Perhaps they’ll eventually be willing to sell a flyer of Thomas’ size and skill cheaply to someone who’s willing to take it.Moving him will keep the Saints at least from his 2023 to his 2024. Saving him over $35 million.
He may enjoy playing for Matt Rhule, but how long will Rule be around? Anderson hasn’t quite clicked for Carolina in two years. He’s always been a one-trick he’s been a pony, but in 2020 he’s been going downhill since his 1,000-yard Panthers debut. True he is a better team that can utilize him like WR2/3. That would save him $12 million next year.
The days of holding back his long-term starting job are over, and while Chicago can justify keeping Justin Fields as an insurance policy to protect him, the Bears are eyeing potential, QB 2023 spending spree. Just as he swings a year ago he played great for the AFC champion Bengals As his tackle, he could be worthy of a plug-and-play spot for his starter or any team looking for late-season depth. I can’t.
Yes, he is a great franchise and destined to retire saint. But with New Orleans sliding into a future top-five pick and already trading off, why not enjoy an offer for the 33-year-old Edge Rusher for around $26 million in 2023? Remains a rock on the stingy front, but with only one year left on his restructured contract, the Saints also have to make long-term payments to 26-year-old Marcus Davenport. The biggest setback here is defensive coach Dennis Allen abandoning such a proven asset midseason, no matter how bad New Orleans’ record has gotten.
A year away from a surprise 18.5 bag showcase, Quinn, 32, had publicly entertained the idea of a move over the summer. Will surely miss his presence later, but the Bears are, or should be, playing a long game. Dealing Quinn could save Chicago about $12 million.
He’s starring in a strong front for the Colts, who have just owned Russell Wilson, so as long as Indy survives the AFC South Race, he’s probably safe. He famously moved from the Jaguars to the Vikings to the Ravens in the space of three months in 2020. Due to the candidate’s pass rush, the Colts saved about $13 million by leaving via trade.
At the heart of Chicago’s ‘D’, Smith’s desire for a change of scenery is well documented. He requested a transfer this summer, but has played a good soldier since the game began.Still, the 25-year-old heat-seeking tackle his machine, a hard hitter, is expected to take the market after this season. It seems destined to test. The linebacker doesn’t necessarily deserve a record payday in the NFL today, but Smith has proven he’s the best player in the game.
William Jackson III, Fuller’s running mate in the porous Washington Secondary and former Bengals starter, is equally a worthy candidate, but given that he’s almost three years older, this is unlikely. Felt like a more interesting trade tip. In his second stint at DC, there was a time when Fuller seemed like Ron was the actual building block of his Rivera ‘D’. It’s past. With Benjamin St-Juste being a great option for coverage, the Commanders may be able to pitch Fuller’s 65 career starts to ease his $8 million salary.
