As the NFL trade deadline rapidly approaches, teams are gearing up for one final opportunity to reshape their rosters before diving into the second half of the regular season. The critical cutoff is set for Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, and while nine trades have already occurred since the beginning of the season, the question remains: can we expect more blockbuster deals in the coming hours?

Among the teams likely to make moves, the Cleveland Browns are at the forefront. Recently, they traded wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills, but several other significant players could be on the move by Tuesday's deadline. Defensive end Za'Darius Smith, defensive tackles Dalvin Tomlinson and Shelby Harris, along with cornerback Greg Newsome II and wide receiver Elijah Moore, have all been named in trade speculation.

Cleveland safety Rodney McLeod recently commented, 'We really just focus on what we can control, which is winning games. The trade talks are out of our hands.'

Smith, in particular, has generated interest from the Detroit Lions, who are desperately seeking a replacement for the injured Aidan Hutchinson. Reports indicate that a fourth-round pick could be the compensation to acquire him.

Over in the NFC West, the Arizona Cardinals are making headlines as they push for a playoff spot. They recently acquired linebacker Baron Browning from the Denver Broncos for a sixth-round pick. Browning, a former third-round selection, is known for his potential, having recorded 9.5 career sacks despite spending time on injured reserve this season.

With the Cardinals sitting at 5-4 and leading their division, Browning adds depth to a pass rush that has recently shown improvement, notably with six sacks recorded against the Chicago Bears.

In an unexpected twist, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones remains optimistic amidst his team's struggles, currently holding a 3-5 record. Following a narrow loss to the Atlanta Falcons, he hinted at the possibility of the Cowboys being active buyers in the trade market, stating, 'We’ve got to do a couple of things this week.' However, with reports suggesting that quarterback Dak Prescott may be out for several weeks, the team's direction remains uncertain.

Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints made headlines by firing head coach Dennis Allen, which signals a potential shift in strategy. However, insiders suggest that a full-blown fire sale is not on the table. With a projected cap hit of over $61 million for 2025, however, their options may be limited. Star defensive end Chase Young is one of the few assets that could be moved, although uncertainty looms over cornerback Marshon Lattimore due to injury.

Despite several major trades already executed this season, a handful of standout players remain on the market, including:

1. Azeez Ojulari, OLB, New York Giants

2. Za'Darius Smith, DE, Cleveland Browns

3. Jonathan Jones, CB, New England Patriots

4. Arden Key, OLB, Tennessee Titans

5. Chase Young, DE, New Orleans Saints
