16 NFL players who could be traded, including Jonathan Taylor and Kirk Cousins

With the NFL trade deadline approaching on November 10, teams are scrambling to finalize deals before the window closes. Among the most intriguing names circulating are Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens and cornerback Joey Porter Jr., both of whom are underperforming in a struggling defense.

The Cowboys, currently 2-3 and facing potential long-term roster decisions, could explore trades involving these players, especially as their future contracts—Pickens on a $27.3 million franchise tag and Porter set to hit free agency—raise questions about retention. Meanwhile, Arizona Cardinals outside linebacker Josh Sweat remains a standout defensive force, having made a strong case for MVP honors in Super Bowl LVIII with 2.5 sacks against Patrick Mahomes.

His versatility in both three- and four-man fronts makes him a high-value target for teams seeking immediate defensive upgrades. The next four weeks will be critical as clubs weigh short-term fixes against long-term rebuilding strategies, with multiple players poised for potential moves before the deadline.
