CBS Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Several notable NFL players, including pass rushers Khalil Mack and Josh Sweat, wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., and running back Tony Pollard, are rumored to be potential trade candidates before the November 10 deadline.
- The article highlights five star players—Jonathan Taylor, Jeffery Simmons, Justin Herbert, Budda Baker, and Maxx Crosby—who are unlikely to be traded but could benefit from a change of scenery to join more competitive teams.
- Jonathan Taylor remains a top running back despite the Colts' struggles, while Jeffery Simmons is a dominant defensive tackle and emotional leader for the Titans, recently signing a lucrative extension.
- Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is having a difficult season with a record number of interceptions and low passing yards, suggesting he might thrive better in a different environment.
- Budda Baker is a consistent defensive standout for the Cardinals, and Maxx Crosby, a strong pass rusher for the Raiders, nearly moved to the Ravens before a failed physical canceled the trade, though he may still desire a move to a contender.
