New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (22) celebrates after a play against the New York Giants during the fourth quarter at Caesars Superdome.

Halloween is here and the NFL trade deadline is near.

"Spooky Season" is coming to a close this week, but that isn't stopping the league from putting on an epic costume party. Plenty of players across the league will soon learn their fate and what costume they'll be donning for the remainder of the season.

For players going from bad teams to potential contenders, it's hard to imagine a much better treat. For players on the opposite side, it is one cruel trick.

Several players could find themselves in the position to earn a treat, however.

The NFL trade deadline might not be as explosive as other professional sports, but anything can happen before the final bell rings.

Here are the latest rumors around the league:

NFL trade rumors: Latest deadline news, rumors

'Decent chance' that Jakobi Meyers is dealt

Everyone knows that Meyers wants to be traded and he might get his wish. According to Fowler, Meyers might have the best chance of any receiver to be dealt before the deadline. However, the Raiders are said to want a "strong pick" for Meyers and a Day 3 swap won't get the job done.

Jets could keep Breece Hall, bring him back in 2026

It seemed like Hall was an obvious candidate to be on the move, but that's not a guarantee anymore. Graziano says the Jets could instead look to bring Hall back next season, making the team hesitant to trade him. That could easily be posturing for a better deal, but the running back will be a free agent after the season. The clock is ticking.

Bengals have no plans to trade Trey Hendrickson

Hendrickson continues to be in purgatory with his contract situation. He continues to play on one-year deals and the long-term solution keeps eluding him. Fowler noted the Cowboys and 49ers have interest, but the Bengals have rebuffed inquiries for Hendrickson. Until the contract situation is resolved, however, these rumors will continue.

Patriots could look to be buyers in RB market

The Patriots are expected to be buyers at the deadline despite dealing away Kyler Dugger and Keion White. Conventional wisdom suggested that they'd be in the receiver market, but New England might be eyeing running backs instead, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss, adding that veteran pass rusher could be another area they might target.

That news won't make TreVeyon Henderson fantasy managers happy, considering the rookie running back hasn't captured the starting job like many expected by this point in the season. Rhamondre Stevenson's fumbling issues and Antonio Gibson's injury make this an interesting destination to watch.

Jets willing to listen to offers for Quinnen Williams

Williams continues to be a name that pops up in rumors, with Schultz saying that the Jets don't want to trade their All-Pro. They are willing to listen, however, and that makes Williams to watch at the deadline if someone is willing to make a big offer.

'No chance' Myles Garrett is traded by Browns

Garrett is a popular name in trade circles considering the continued struggles for the Browns. The chance of that idea coming to fruition might just exist in an alternative reality though. A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that there is no chance a deal will happen and added, "People have a better chance of winning the lottery.”

Patriots trade Kyle Dugger to Steelers

The Patriots have traded Dugger and a seventh-round pick to the Steelers in exchange for a sixth-round pick. It results in a change of scenery for the safety that was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Pittsburgh gets some much-needed help in the secondary and New England moves on from a player that saw his role shrink with the new coaching staff.

The 49ers traded a sixth-round pick to the Patriots in exchange for White and a seventh-round pick. It's a move that adds to San Francisco's depth on the edge, which was previously decimated by injuries. White was a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and has posted six sacks in 38 career games. He was relegated to a backup role after Mike Vrabel's arrival and this trade should give the 26-year-old a new lease on his NFL life.

Giants have no interest in trading Kayvon Thibodeaux

Teams have been calling the Giants about Thibodeaux, but they have no interest in exploring a trade at this time, according to Garafolo. It was unclear what future the pass-rusher had with the Giants, given their selection of Abdul Carter in the previous draft. That seemingly puts those trade talks to bed and ensures his future remains in the Meadowlands for now.

Unclear if Breece Hall, Quinnen Williams will be traded

It's no secret that the Jets could be active ahead of the trade deadline and most of that is centered around Hall. Teams are calling about the running back, according to Rapoport, but it's unclear if the Jets will find a trade they're willing to make. Williams is less likely to be dealt, however, it seems he can be had if a team is willing to make a big offer.

Jakobi Meyers drawing interest from teams

The Raiders receiver has been looking for a trade since the offseason. Multiple teams remain interested in dealing for Meyers, according to Schultz. Meyers requested a trade during the offseason after contract talks failed to progress and hasn't held back his feelings either.

"Oh, for sure," Meyers said, via ESPN's Ryan McFadden, when asked if he still wants to be traded. "But I'm a professional at the end of the day. I'm just trying to play good football."

Titans trade CB Roger McCreary to the Rams

The Rams landed some help in the secondary, swinging a deal for the 25-year-old McCreary. It only cost the team a pick swap, as the Titans will receive a fifth-round selection and send a sixth-rounder back to LA.

McCreary, who is in the final year of his rookie contract, will bolster a cornerback room that already lost starter Ahkello Witherspoon to a broken clavicle in Week 2.

Liam Coen: Jaguars have 'no plans' of trading Brian Thomas Jr.

Thomas Jr. has gotten off to a slower-than-expected start to his second NFL season, which has sparked trade rumors around the LSU product. However, Jaguars coach Liam Coen told reporters the team is going to keep its No. 1 receiver.

"We have no plans on moving Brian Thomas Jr at all," Coen told reporters.

Jerry Jones says Cowboys' Week 8 loss doesn't change deadline plans

The Cowboys defense was shredded in Week 8, surrendering a season-high 44 points in their loss to the Broncos. Dallas has plenty of holes, especially on defense, that need to be fixed, but that didn't stop Jones from talking about possible trades.

“A loss is discouraging but as far as my temperament, if I saw a proposition for us to help this team, no matter what this score was today, I would look at it on the merits of this team. If you’re talking about trading for a player or trading a player, I’d completely look at it on the merits of this team, both for next week or the weeks after or for the longer term,” Jones told reporters after the loss. “No, today would not affect decisions on trading for a player.”

Jets could trade Breece Hall, unlikely to deal Quinnen Williams

The winless Jets are heading for another rebuild, meaning it could be time to start shipping some talent out of town. Hall is set to be a free agent after the season.

Garafolo says to keep an eye on Hall in trade talks, but indicated that Williams is unlikely to be on the move. He noted that there is a price for everyone, but it would be his brother, Quincy Williams, that has a better chance of being dealt.

Cowboys rebuffed by Raiders, Bengals in Maxx Crosby, Trey Hendrickson talks

The Cowboys' decision to trade Micah Parsons was primarily motivated by money, but that doesn't mean the team can't use their newly acquired assets to swing a deal for a cheaper pass-rusher.

Dallas called about Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson, but the Raiders and Bengals showed no interest in moving those players. Crosby also told the Raiders that he doesn't want to be dealt. The Cowboys are continuing to look for help on defense, but it does take two to tango. Unfortunately for Jerry Jones, he can't find a dance partner at the moment.

Saints' Rashid Shaheed could be dealt for right price

Plenty of teams are on the hunt for a receiver as the deadline nears. Fortunately for the Saints, they have plenty of them and could control the market. Shaheed, who is set to be a free agent after the season, could be had while New Orleans attempts to work out an extension for Chris Olave. It is believed that the Saints could receive a third-round pick in exchange for Shaheed, according to Schefter.

Olave and Shaheed are the headliners, but Brandin Cooks could also enter the trade discussion. He could be traded for the fifth time, which would be an NFL record. New Orleans continues to express their desire to keep Olave, but that security doesn't appear to be there for anyone else in the receiver room.

Titans won't trade Cam Ward, Jeffery Simmons

This season has been a complete disaster for the Titans. They already fired their coach and Cam Ward has been forced to navigate an increasingly tricky rookie season. Schefter says that Tennessee is open to make some deals, but that won't be for Ward or Simmons.

They are building blocks and the Titans are prepared to move forward with both.

Eagles not expected to trade A.J. Brown

Despite plenty of complaints this season, Brown doesn't seem like a candidate to be changing jerseys at the deadline. Schefter says that hasn't stopped teams from reaching out, but the team won't part with their star for anything less than a blockbuster offer.

Brown is currently battling a hamstring injury and just inked a three-year, $96 million extension with the Eagles during the 2024 offseason.

When is the 2025 NFL trade deadline?

  • Date: November 4
  • Time: 4 p.m. ET

The 2025 NFL trade deadline is set for Nov. 4, with 4 p.m. ET being the official cutoff. It's the last opportunity for teams to make major changes to their rosters ahead of the stretch run. That leaves waivers and free agency as the last two avenues to improve before the offseason.
