The 2024 NFL trade deadline is a day away. Teams around the league are rushing to finalize their rosters for the second half of the season and beyond and have until 4:00 PM ET on November 5th to make those moves.

There have been a number of offers in the NFL over the past few weeks, and there could be more in the coming day. We’ve seen star veteran wide receivers traded: Davante Adams, Amari Cooper, DeAndre Hopkinsand Diontae Johnson. There are rumors that several receivers could be dealt before the trade deadline. Several teams also need help on the offensive line or are looking to improve their pass-rushing offense and defensive secondary.

Here’s everything you need to know about 2024 NFL trade deadline and the latest rumors around the league.

The Steelers are still looking for WR help before the 2024 trade deadline

  • Date: November 2, 2024

Schefter reports that the Steelers were “in the process” of trying to acquire Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk. However, the 27-year-old suffered a season-ending collarbone injury.

The Cowboys are not expected to make any moves before the 2024 trade deadline

Russini reports that while there is “uncertainty about how the rest of 2024 will play out” for the Cowboys, they are not expected to make any moves before the NFL trade deadline. This pretty much lines up with what Jerry Jones said about Dallas’ roster before November 5th.

Jets won’t trade WR Garrett Wilson, CB DJ Reed

The Jets have received calls about starting receiver Garrett Wilson and cornerback No. 2, DJ Reed ahead of the 2024 NFL trade deadline, Russini reports. New York is not expected to move any players or recently acquired Davante Adams after improving to 3-6 on the season with a Week 9 win over the Houston Texans.

Jeff Ulbrich says Allen Lazard’s injury is ‘very funky’

Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich spoke to reporters after New York’s “Thursday Night Football” win over the Texans and said the team’s No. 3 wide receiver Allen Lazard is dealing with a “really funky injury.” It affects the wideout’s sternum and the AC joint in his shoulder, according to Ulbrich, and there is no timetable for his return.

Will the timing of Lazard’s injury prompt the Jets to keep Mike Williams? It’s not guaranteed, but Lazard is on IR and will have to miss at least the next three games. The earliest Lazard can return is Week 14. So Williams may have a better chance of staying in New York than originally anticipated.
