The 2025 NFL trade deadline is today! Along with the NFL Draft, free agency period and schedule release, it’s one of the top non-game day events on the calendar for football fans to follow.

While trades have actually been taking place with regularity over the last month (most notably Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals and Jaire Alexander to the Philadelphia Eagles), it should nonetheless be a busy day for teams across the league as they make last-minute calls in an attempt to better their team in the present and future.

Will the Green Bay Packers make a trade?

They certainly likely will be in the market for additions despite being in first place in the NFC North at 5-2-1. Injuries to tight end and cornerback and to an extent defensive line have hit Green Bay in recent weeks.

No trade the Packers make will be able to match that of defensive end Micah Parsons, who was acquired by Green Bay from the Dallas Cowboys days before the kickoff to the season.

But there are still players to be had, particularly those on the last year of contracts.

Follow below for all the trades today involving the Packers and across the NFL:

The trade deadline is 3 p.m. Central time Tuesday, Nov. 4.

That’s when trades have to be finalized.

It’s not a trade but the Pittsburgh Steelers made a move that will likely interest Packers fans.

The Steelers signed former Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad.

MVS reunites with quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh. The Packers selected Valdes-Scantling in the fifth round of the NFL Draft in 2018 and he would spend the first four years of his career in Green Bay with Rodgers throwing him passes. Valdes-Scantling had a workout with the Steelers last week.

He has since played for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022 and 2023, the Buffalo Bills and New Orleans Saints in 2024 and the San Francisco 49ers in 2025. Battling a calf injury, he was put on injured reserve on Oct. 17 before his release the following day.

MVS was also on the Seattle Seahawks’ roster during the summer and played the Packers in a preseason game in August at Lambeau Field.

The Packers have not made a trade today ahead of the deadline later this afternoon.

But, according to Easton Butler of Packer Report, the Packers have called about Las Vegas Raiders tight end Micahel Mayer.

Mayer, a 2023 second-round pick from Notre Dame, is in his third season with the Raiders. He has 133 yards on 15 receptions and one touchdown in 2025 playing behind All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers.

The Packers are in need for tight end depth after losing star Tucker Kraft to a season-ending ACL injury in Sunday’s Week 9 game.

The Packers’ NFC North rival, Chicago Bears, are making a move to address a need.

The Bears are acquiring defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka from the Cleveland Browns and a seventh-round pick for a sixth-round pick, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The addition of Tryon-Shoyinka comes just two days after defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in the Bears’ wild 47-42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Odeyingbo had signed a three-year deal with the Bears in the offseason.

Tryon-Shoyinka, a former first-round pick, was in the first season with the Browns following four years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old will look to help a Bears unit that allows 131.1 rushing yards per game (25th in the league).

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport explained how the blockbuster trade happened:

The Seattle Seahawks are adding to their already top-tier offense.

The Seahawks acquired wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints for fourth- and fifth-round draft picks, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Shaheed will reunite with Klint Kubiak, his offensive coordinator last season in New Orleans, who joined the Seahawks this past offseason in the same role.

Kubiak has helped elevate the Sam Darnold-led Seahawks offense to among the best in the NFL.

Shaheed comes from a team that was 1-8 and in last place in its division and at the bottom of the NFC standing to a Seattle team that is 6-2 and atop its division. Shaheed, who only played in six games in 2024 due to a knee injury that required surgery, has bounced back in 2025.

He has 44 receptions for 499 yards (24th in the league) and two touchdowns in 2025.

Undrafted out of Weber St., the 27-year-old has 138 catches for 2,055 yards and 12 touchdowns in his career. He had a career-long catch of 87 yards this season.

The cheesehead-loving Sauce Gardner, a former NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, is being traded from the New York Jets to the Indianapolis Colts, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

It’s the biggest trade of the season to date not counting the Micah Parsons deal to the Packers.

The Jets are getting two first-round picks for the star cornerback, Rapoport reports.

Gardner was the fourth overall pick by the Jets in 2022 out of Cincinnati and he had an immediate impact. He had 20 passes defended and two interceptions as a rookie as he earned first-team All-Pro as a rookie. Gardner backed up that honor by landing on the All-Pro team again in 2023.

He played for now Wisconsin Badgers head coach Luke Fickell at Cincinnati during his three-year college career from 2019-21.

Packers fans also know Gardner well. He’s sported cheeseheads twice after wins over the Packers at Lambeau Field, one a regular season game in 2022 and then again just a few months ago when the Jets beat the Packers in a preseason game. Gardner also famously burned a cheesehead when he was trying to recruit Aaron Rodgers to the Jets in 2023.

Over two months after asking for a trade, Jakobi Meyers finally got it.

The Las Vegas Raiders traded the veteran wide receiver to the Jacksonville Jaguars for fourth and sixth round draft picks in 2026, first reported by national outlets.

The Jaguars confirmed the move later in the morning Nov. 4.

The Jaguars filled a need with the acquisition of Meyers after two-way player Travis Hunter went down with a non-contact injury last month.

Meyers has 352 yards on 33 receptions in seven games this season. The 28-year-old is just a season removed from his first 1,000-yard season when he had a career-high 87 catches for 1,027 yards in 15 games and four touchdowns.

Meyers has carved out a solid NFL career (4,592 yards, 20 touchdowns) after going undrafted in 2019. He played the first four years of his career with the New England Patriots and led the team in receiving yards for three straight years from 2020-22 before signing a three-year deal with the Raiders in 2023.

Meyers was second in receiving yards in both of his full seasons in Las Vegas. But amid contract talks, Meyers, a free agent after the 2025 season, requested a trade after training camp.

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones implied on Monday, Nov. 3, he had a trade in place.

That trade was revealed early Tuesday, Nov. 4.

The Cowboys are acquiring linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round pick.

The former sixth-round pick recently requested a trade as his role on defense had been reduced and seeing fewer snaps.

Wilson comes to Dallas hoping to improve one of the worst defensive units in the NFL. He comes from a defense that is ranked at the bottom of the NFL in total defense and scoring defense to one that is second last.

But Wilson has been a solid player throughout his six-year career. He posted 100-plus tackle seasons in four straight years from 2021-24, including a career-high in 2023 with 135. He had four interception seasons in 2021 and 2023.

The Packers are 5-2-1 at the trade deadline in 2025 following their upset loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 9 two days ago.

Last year, the Packers were also coming off a home loss prior to the trade deadline. The Packers were 6-3 in 2024 after their 24-14 loss to the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field heading into the deadline.

In Jordan Love’s first year as the starter in 2023, the Packers were 3-5 at this point in the season.

The Packers have made trades in each of the last two years at the deadline. Both times involved trading away a veteran defensive player – cornerback Rasul Douglas in 2023 and edge rusher Preston Smith in 2024 – where they had depth to gain draft capital. Of course, Green Bay also made a trade that paid off big time with it acquired backup QB Malik Willis before the start of the 2024 season.

And the Packers did something similar this year ahead of 2025, though the acquisition of Parsons shook the scales across the NFL just a little bit more than the Willis deal a season prior.

Gutekunst would love to gain draft picks like he did those years. But would he want to part with anyone given injuries to both sides of the ball?

Packers trade rumors

What’s the chatter involving the Packers at the trade deadline?

The Packers have been calling teams about cornerbacks going back to training camp, scouts recently told PackersNews’ Pete Dougherty.

One might be needed even more with the news that Nate Hobbs will miss multiple weeks with an MCL sprain. He had already been benched after his rough showing last month against the Arizona Cardinals. Carrington Valentine has since stepped in but is there anyone else out there who could help Green Bay shore up this area?

Multiple cornerbacks have moved teams via trades, including Alexander from Baltimore to Philadelphia.

A player to watch, a scout told Dougherty, is Cam Taylor-Britt, a 2022 second-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals. He’s in the final year of his rookie contract and his playing time has been inconsistent for the worst defense in the NFL. Maybe a new team is just what he needs.

Is there a run stopper out there to help a Packers defense that was gashed last week against the Panthers? The Packers will need to correct that guy or the stretch run and a trade is a way to fix it in the short term. The Packers traded veteran defensive lineman Kenny Clark as part of the Parsons deal and his loss is being felt at various points this season.

The Packers might also be in the market for a tight end following the season-ending injury to star TE Tucker Kraft. They do have internal options but adding another pass catcher and blocker can never hurt as the Packers look to navigate in a post-Tucker Kraft world.

Following the trade deadline, the Packers have nine games remaining on their 2025 schedule. First up is a huge opportunity to get back on track when the Packers play host to the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on “Monday Night Football.” The Packers had their three-game winning streak snapped last week.
