"Ford's due only $1.2 million over the rest of 2025, and he has averaged a respectable 4.4 yards per carry as a pro, often with dismal passing attacks. As a veteran back who can soak up meaningful touches now and complement Hampton after the rookie returns, Ford fits the sort of profile the Chargers would be looking to add via trade."
"As general managers get on the phone and try to piece together deals, I've come up with 13 moves that make sense for both teams. I've aimed for realism over sheer entertainment. So while I'd love to dial up a bunch of superstars being shipped around for fun, the goal here is to find deals that could actually happen in real life before the trade deadline at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 4."
Thirteen realistic NFL trades are proposed ahead of the Nov. 4, 2025 trade deadline, emphasizing practical, mutually beneficial swaps. The proposals prioritize immediate roster needs, salary-cap fit, and balanced draft compensation. Examples include the Chargers acquiring RB Jerome Ford for a 2027 seventh-round pick to strengthen their running back room and the Browns receiving a 2027 sixth-round pick in return. Another proposal sends WR Jakobi Meyers, a 2026 fourth-round pick and cash to the Giants in exchange for Raiders CB Deonte Banks. The trade slate features a legendary quarterback, multiple former first-round picks, and a first-team All-Pro among potential moves.
