What impact did all the midseason deals before the 2025 NFL trade deadline actually have on the teams that acquired players?
With teams set to enter Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season, contenders are aiming to bolster their depth charts for a run at the Super Bowl, while those out of the playoff hunt are looking towards the future, selling off expiring assets for draft capital.
What trades stand out among the rest? Here's breaking down every move that's happened in Oct. 1 through Nov. 4, the final day to make trades:
The Eagles have been missing that bona fide veteran pass rusher for 3-4 outside linebacker under Vic Fangio and Phillips provides the experience and production they need to get back to his best days in Miami.
Grade: B
Jones is a versatile pass rusher with good plug-and-play experience. He will also give them some rotation help against the run.
Grade: D
Getting this fading star to back up second-year top corner Quinyon Mitchell feels like it was unnecessary given the team's other defensive moves.
Grade: C
Cooper DeJean has been solid but they needed some more depth for the nickel. Carter, a one-time strong slot cover man in New York, fits the role well.
This is a flyer for a one-time high-potential field-stretching wideout from Alabama that will have little impact in changing up the wide receiver corps.
Grade: B
The Steelers were having injury issues at strong safety and needed a plug-and-play extra linebacker type and Dugger was the quickest means to that end.
Grade: D
White wasn't doing much in New England and won't do much in San Francisco as a simple bottom-roster player.
Grade: C
The Rams got a shaky falling star in Tennessee, who is just an extra depth addition mainly for subpackages.
Newsome was involved in a straight-up swap up of corners with Tyson Campbell going the other way and was acquired to fit Anthony Campanile's scheme better.
Grade: B+
Campbell gave the team a needed outside starter opposite Denzel Ward and although he's been up-and-down and coverage, he did provide a big play right away with his pick-six against the Dolphins.
Grade: A
Just as Gilman has adjusted well to his new team, Oweh has 3 sacks in his past two games for the Chargers to boost their situational pass rush behind Khalil Mack.
Grade: A
The Ravens got a starter at free safety who's been very active making plays, lining up next to more free-lancing Kyle Hamilton and has been delivering in two games as a cover man.
Grade: A
Flacco has given the Bengals a fighting chance to win every week with his career-best prolific passing and getting the ball to their main weapons. He can't be blamed for the consistent defensive meltdowns that often render his sometimes elite downfield work moot.
