While the NFL trade deadline doesn't get the hype of its MLB, NBA or even NHL counterparts, it has become a bigger deal on the league calendar in recent years. And trade rumors are flying as the Nov. 1 deadline approaches.

We've already seen some deals happen, with the Carolina Panthers trading running back Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers days after sending receiver Robbie Anderson to the Arizona Cardinals. The New York Jets made noise Monday, dealing for Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson. So with a week left, we asked our trusted NFL Nation reporters to identify one player on the team they cover who could be pursued or dealt before the deadline.

There are players who have been first-round draft picks and Pro Bowlers and a former rushing champion on this list, along with a guy who had 18.5 sacks last year. We've graded the handful of trades that already have been completed, and ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler last week went through the early buzz on players who were brought up in discussions.

AFC EAST

Buffalo Bills

RB Zack Moss

With the best record in the AFC, the Bills aren't in big-time trading mode — this is one of the best rosters in the league. But if there were a candidate for the Bills to trade, it would be Moss, who was a healthy scratch in Week 6 against the Chiefs. The 2020 third-round pick has the fewest yards and carries among the team's three backs and is a healthy scratch candidate as the season continues, since pass protection and special teams play are the priorities for the final active offensive roster spots on game day. A potential trade would likely include late draft picks. 

 

Miami Dolphins

TE Mike Gesicki

He has been the rumored trade candidate since the offseason, when it was speculated that his skill set as a receiving tight end wouldn't mesh with the blocking required in new coach Mike McDaniel's offensive scheme. The targets are down for Gesicki this season, and he's on pace for the fewest targets, receptions and yards since his rookie year after setting career highs in all three categories in 2021. In his defense, Gesicki has repeatedly stated that he'd like to remain with the Dolphins after signing his franchise tag this offseason — but he is their most valuable trade target at the moment. 

 

New England Patriots

OT Isaiah Wynn

When the Patriots selected Wynn in the first round of the 2018 draft, they hoped they had landed a franchise left tackle. It hasn't worked out that way, and Wynn, playing right tackle this season, is among the league leaders in penalties and was inactive for Monday night's game against the Bears. Trading a starting offensive tackle is risky given the value of the position, so the Patriots would have to feel comfortable turning to veteran Marcus Cannon at right tackle and Yodny Cajuste as the swing tackle. Positives for the team would be clearing salary-cap space and gaining future draft capital for a player who will be a free agent after the season. 

 

New York Jets

WR Denzel Mims

The Jets are willing to listen to offers for Mims, who requested a trade in the preseason and was a healthy scratch for the first six games. Clearly, this coaching staff doesn't have high regard for Mims, a 2020 second-round pick, even though coach Robert Saleh said after Sunday's win that Mims, who made his 2022 debut in that game, "will be a big part of this." Uncertainty surrounding Elijah Moore, who requested a trade, and a knee injury to Corey Davis likely will prompt the Jets to keep Mims for depth purposes.
