Nfl Trade Deadline: Teams Have One More Chance To Improve Their Roster Before A Playoff Run

NFL teams have one more chance to bolster their roster for a playoff run.

The Chiefs 8-0, Bills 7-2, Ravens 6-3 and Jets 3-6 have already added playmakers, acquiring wide receivers over the past month. The Vikings 6-2 filled a big need on the offensive line last week and the Cardinals 5-4 got defensive help on Monday.

The trade deadline is 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. More players will be switching uniforms.

Raiders star edge rusher Maxx Crosby and Saints four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore are among the biggest names who could be on the move.

The Detroit Lions, who were looking for an edge rusher following star Aidan Hutchinson's leg injury, are getting defensive end Za'Darius Smith from the Cleveland Browns, a person familiar with the deal told the Associated Press on Tuesday. The Browns, already looking to rebuild in a disappointing season, are sending Smith and a seventh-round pick in 2026 to the Lions 7-1. In return, Cleveland is getting a fifth-round pick in 2025 and a sixth-round pick in 2026, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the teams have not announced the deal.
