The NFL's trade deadline used to be a ghost town. Between an early cutoff and reticent teams, few players were dealt while the regular season was still in progress.

That's changed in recent years. Over the last decade, stars like Christian McCaffery, Von Miller and Jalen Ramsey have been forced to relocate -- heck, Amari Cooper's had to do it twice. 2024 threatens to push that trend to new heights. A robust market of veteran wideouts has meant October has been especially spooky for pass catchers afraid to search for rental properties in a new location.

More than a half dozen-trades filled dead air on sports radio with more than a week before the league's November 4 deadline. We'll break every in-season trade down here, along with links to our full grades for the bigger deals. Newer trades are on top, sliding all the way down to the Davante Adams deal that kicked off 2024's frenzy.

New York Jets acquire: WR Davante Adams

Las Vegas Raiders acquire: Conditional 2025 third round pick (could become a second-rounder if Adams is an All-Pro or is active for the AFC championship game or Super Bowl)

What we wrote:

Now: CAN [the Jets] contend? That’s a really good question. I don’t see it, to be honest. But this offense now gets two really good wideouts in Adams and Garrett Wilson, and a happier Rodgers is a good thing given that the Jets are stuck with a past-his-prime QB.

With all that context and the fact that it may end up as a second-round pick, it’s a good, not GREAT trade.
