NFL 2025 Trade Period – starts March 12, 2025

Commanders Aquire Saints CB Marshon Lattimore
Lions Acquire Edge ZaDarius Smith
Cowboys Deal for Wideout Jonathan Mingo

The NFL trade deadline has closed after a rush of moves by General Managers mostly from contenders to strengthen rosters for the playoff push. There has been the expected active period over recent weeks which could finish with  several deals which can have huge effects on the NFL playoff picture. The incumbent KC Chiefs have already benefited from their major addition of wideout DeAndre Hopkins who has provided scoring impact in his first games.

The Jets added receiver Davante Adams has connected with former teammate QB Aaron Rodgers to score the winning TD in their victory over the Texans.

Other veteran receivers like Chris Olave, Darius Slayton, Christian Kirk, Calvin Ridley, Treylon Burks, Kendrick Bourne, Brandin Cooks, Michael Thomas, Adam Thielen and Eli Moore drew interest in the final days, though were not moved by their current clubs. Olave and Kirk sustained recent injuries which may eliminate them from deals. Teams like the Bucs, Bills, Chargers, Steelers, Eagles, Commanders and Texans will entertain receivers for the stretch run in competitive conferences where every win makes a difference for a postseason berth.

Receivers DeAndre Hopkins, Davante Adams, Diontae Johnson and Jonathan Mingo have changed uniforms in hope of becoming playmakers. Hopkins and Adams have provided short term impact to the Chiefs, Jets and Ravens offense that were all in need for new playmakers.

Veteran defensive players like edge defenders Za’Darius Smith, Preston Smith, and Baron Browning were traded for late selections within the last 24 hours, hoping to provide pass pressure in their contending team’s pursuit of the postseason.

Many of these veterans are high priced players and possible free agents this postseason. Playoff clubs will be limited to the waiver wire and practice squads to add new players through the NFL 2024 season.
