NFL Trade Deadline 2025: The Countdown Begins
The NFL trade deadline is almost here. As teams race against the clock before the 4 p.m. ET cutoff, franchises are making crucial decisions — to buy, sell, or hold. While some teams are chasing playoff dreams, others are planning for the future by trading away big names for draft picks.
However, this year’s trade market seems uneven. Many contenders want to add top talent, while few are willing to part with star players. But as injuries pile up and Week 9 results shake up the standings, some teams may be forced to act fast.
Trey Hendrickson Trade Rumors: Will Bengals Make a Shocking Move?
Rumors are swirling around Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson. According to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, the Bengals are no longer rejecting all trade offers for Hendrickson.
The Bengals’ recent loss to the Chicago Bears dropped them to 3-6, raising speculation that they could consider rebuilding their defense earlier than expected.
If traded, Hendrickson — last season’s NFL sack leader — could bring strong value in draft capital.
This would be a surprising move for a team known for keeping key players, but it might signal a long-term rebuild strategy.
Miami Dolphins Trade Rumors: Jaylen Waddle Staying Put?
The Miami Dolphins have been at the center of trade talks following the departure of GM Chris Grier last week. Yet, reports suggest Jaylen Waddle is not for sale — not even for a first-round draft pick.
Waddle has become Tua Tagovailoa’s top target, especially after Tyreek Hill’s injury.
However, edge rushers Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb have attracted attention from teams like the Eagles, 49ers, and Patriots, according to The Athletic.
The Dolphins’ front office might consider moving defensive assets but appears firm on keeping its offensive core intact.
What to Expect Before the Deadline
With the clock ticking, expect a few surprise trades as front offices scramble to adjust their rosters. Teams like the Bills, Cowboys, and Jets could also make last-minute moves to strengthen their playoff chances.
Stay tuned for live updates as teams finalize trades before the deadline strikes.
