There was no surprise that the Jaguars were interested in signing defensive end Danielle Hunter last offseason but unfortunately he headed back to the Minnesota Vikings. As the trade deadline is approaching as it is on Tuesday October 31st, the Vikings might be looking to move Hunter as they could get up to three third-round picks for Hunter. Although he Jaguars don’t necessarily need the defensive end it could make a massive boost to the Jaguars defensive line who already has outside linebacker Josh Allen, sophomore defensive end Trayvon Walker who has struggled to adjust to the NFL and up the middle defensive tackle K’lavon Chaisson. With the addition of Hunter this could put the Jaguars defensive unit on a whole other level.
Indianapolis Colts- Jerry Jeudy

The Indianapolis Colts head into Week 7 as record of 3-3 and could possibly make a splash in the trade market. One name that they could trade for is that of Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy who through the first six weeks of the season has not shadow away from letting the world know he is not happy in Denver. The Colts have already lost their first-round pick Anthony Richardson for the season, but if they go out and acquire the young Broncos receiver, the move could play in effect for the future as they would have a wide receiver room with Michael Pittman Jr and Jerry Jeudy leading the way.
Houston Texans - Terrace Marshall Jr

The Houston Texans start to the 2023 season has been a shocker as quarterback CJ Stroud has been better than anyone could of thought. The issue with the Texans is they don’t have many draft picks to trade away and that one guy they should target is that of wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr who has put up 16 catches with 114 yards on the year and could be moved at the deadline. The Texans wide receiver depth is not great as wide receiver Niko Collins has lead the way with Tank Dell right behind it. With the addition of Marshall it could boost the offense for the Texans at a cheaper price.
Tennnesee Titans- Trade Derrick Herny

The Tennessee Titans could be looking to trade star running back Derrick Henry before the October 31st trade deadline. As entering the last year of his contract, the 30-year old running back could be traded as he is an aging running back. With the spark of rooking running back Tyjae Spears who has been impressive through the first six weeks of season and could decide to go the younger route. This might be the last time that Henry has any value as he will begin the 2024 season at the age of 31, the Titans will have decision to make if they decide to keep Henry or trade him away to a team that is willing to give up first round pick for him.
