The NFLâs 2025 trade deadline officially closes this afternoon at 4 p.m. ET, and the league has already seen a flurry of major moves that could reshape the playoff picture. While the deadline doesnât usually bring MLB- or NBA-level chaos, this yearâs flurry of aggressive deals has been one of the busiest in recent memory. From Super Bowl contenders loading up to struggling teams selling off talent, hereâs everything thatâs gone down so far.
Colts Make the Blockbuster of the Deadline
The Indianapolis Colts made the biggest move yet, acquiring All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner from the Jets in exchange for two first-round picks (2026 and 2027) and receiver AD Mitchell. Sitting at 7â2 and currently holding the AFCâs No. 1 seed, Indianapolis is clearly going all in. Gardner gives them the shutdown corner theyâve been missing and is under contract through 2030, meaning the Colts just locked up one of the leagueâs best defenders for the rest of his prime.
Ravens Bolster the Pass Rush
After clawing back from a 1â5 start, the Baltimore Ravens are buyers, acquiring DreâMont Jones from the Titans for a conditional fifth-round pick that could become a fourth. Jones has 4.5 sacks in his last four games and should immediately upgrade a Ravens front thatâs struggled with injuries and consistency.
Eagles Go All-In â Again
It wouldnât be an NFL deadline without Howie Roseman working the phones. The Eagles made two major splashes, trading for Jaelan Phillips from Miami and Jaire Alexander from Baltimore in separate deals. Phillips, a former first-round pass rusher, arrives for a third-round pick, while Alexander, a two-time Pro Bowler, came in via a late-round pick swap. Philly also added cornerback Michael Carter II from the Jets, sending wideout John Metchie III in return. The message is clear: the 6â2 Eagles are loading up for another Super Bowl run.
Patriots Start Their Fire Sale
New England continued its rebuild by moving former second-round picks Keion White (to the 49ers) and Kyle Dugger (to the Steelers) for late-round pick swaps. San Francisco adds depth to a banged-up defensive line, while Pittsburgh gets a physical safety with starter DeShon Elliott out for the season.
Rams Add Defensive Help
The Los Angeles Rams are quietly gearing up for another postseason push, landing cornerback Roger McCreary from Tennessee for a conditional fifth-rounder. The 25-year-old has been one of the Titansâ lone bright spots and will help stabilize a Rams secondary thatâs struggled against top NFC offenses.
Quick Hits Around the League
The Dolphins, now under interim GM Champ Kelly, began their teardown by sending Jaelan Phillips to Philly.
Tennessee, sitting last in the AFC South, has now traded two key defenders (Jones and McCreary).
Several playoff hopefuls, including the Lions and Seahawks, are still rumored to be in the market for secondary help before the 4 p.m. deadline.
From contenders stacking up to rebuilds underway, this yearâs trade deadline has already shaken the league. Stay tuned, thereâs still time for one more blockbuster before the clock strikes four.
