"We're only two weeks into the 2025 NFL season and still more than six weeks away from the Nov. 4 trade deadline (4 p.m. ET). But NFL seasons go by very quickly, and each week offers an array of new data points on which teams base their short- and long-term decisions. The Buccaneers, for example, are 2-0 and four-time defending division champions that have their sights set on the Super Bowl."
"Across Alligator Alley on the east coast of Florida, the Dolphins have had a rough start to the season. They are 0-3 and could conceivably be in rebuild mode if this season doesn't turn around. Even with that deadline more than six weeks away, we can be sure teams are looking at Miami's roster and wondering who might be available. So with that all in mind, we decided to take a little bit of an early look at what could happen as the season gets closer to the deadline."
Early-season results, injuries and roster composition will shape decisions leading up to the Nov. 4 trade deadline. The Buccaneers sit 2-0 but face offensive-line injuries and may pursue external help to sustain a Super Bowl run. The Dolphins are 0-3 and face the prospect of a rebuild, which could make several players trade candidates. Teams already are scanning rosters leaguewide to identify targets, potential additions and players who could be moved. The landscape can shift weekly, and injuries or performance swings will influence which contenders buy and which teams sell.
