With the NFL trade deadline approaching on November 10, Yahoo Sports has outlined six hypothetical blockbuster trades that could reshape the Super Bowl race. The proposals involve star players such as Jonathan Taylor, George Pickens, Camryn Bynum, Breece Hall, Khalil Mack, and Saquon Barkley moving to contending teams.
Green Bay Packers acquire Jonathan Taylor from Indianapolis Colts
Proposed trade: Packers send a 2028 second-round pick, 2027 third-round pick, and 2027 fifth-round pick to the Colts for running back Jonathan Taylor. Green Bay's rushing offense ranks last in the NFL with 60.6 yards per game and 2.9 yards per carry entering Week 9. Taylor, who ranks fifth in evaded tackles (32) and eighth in breakaway runs (six), would return to Wisconsin where he starred in college. Indianapolis would gain draft capital for a multi-year rebuild.
Kansas City Chiefs land George Pickens from Dallas Cowboys
Proposed trade: Chiefs send a 2027 second-round pick to the Cowboys for wide receiver George Pickens. With Rashee Rice's long-term future uncertain, Kansas City seeks a true No. 1 receiver to support Patrick Mahomes. Pickens, playing under the franchise tag, would be a half-season rental; the Chiefs could receive a 2028 compensatory pick if he departs. Dallas would gain a more valuable draft asset than a future compensatory pick.
Buffalo Bills address secondary with Camryn Bynum from Indianapolis Colts
Proposed trade: Bills send a 2027 third-round pick and 2028 fifth-round pick to the Colts for safety Camryn Bynum. Buffalo's safety tandem has allowed 254.7 passing yards per game with a 96.3 opponent passer rating. Bynum, 28, has recorded 20 passes defended and eight interceptions in his last 42 starts and is under contract through 2028.
Minnesota Vikings acquire Breece Hall from New York Jets
Proposed trade: Vikings send a 2027 second-round pick and 2027 fifth-round pick to the Jets for running back Breece Hall. Hall, 25, carries cap hits of $11.486 million (2026), $14.5 million (2027), and $15.5 million (2028). The Jets could turn to Braelon Allen, who averaged 100.8 rushing yards per game and 5.4 yards per carry during Hall's five-game absence, on a rookie contract under $1.5 million annually through 2027.
San Francisco 49ers add Khalil Mack from Los Angeles Chargers
Proposed trade: 49ers send a 2027 third-round pick to the Chargers for edge rusher Khalil Mack and a 2027 fifth-round pick. The 35-year-old Mack, though not an elite pass rusher, is considered the best available three-down defender. Los Angeles, projected to be winless entering December, would gain draft capital while giving Mack a chance to pursue a championship.
Cincinnati Bengals pursue Saquon Barkley from Philadelphia Eagles
Proposed trade: Bengals send a 2027 third-round pick to the Eagles for running back Saquon Barkley. Barkley, averaging 4.9 yards per carry in 2026, would serve as an early-down back alongside Chase Brown. Philadelphia, facing a disappointing season, could capitalize on Barkley's value before age and workload concerns increase. Cincinnati expects a compensatory third-round pick in 2027, making the deal feasible.
