Colts Expected To Buy; Dolphins May Sell

With the Nov. 4 trade deadline approaching, the league looks poised for heavy activity as buyers chase upgrades and struggling teams consider selling. The Miami Dolphins, now 2–7, have reportedly parted ways with GM Chris Grier and may start a fire sale with Jaylen Waddle, Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips drawing interest. Other potential sellers include the Raiders (Jakobi Meyers), Saints (Chris Olave) and Falcons (Kyle Pitts), and the Ravens’ Jaire Alexander being a healthy scratch has amplified trade speculation. The AFC-leading Indianapolis Colts (7–1) boast the NFL’s top offense led by Daniel Jones and are expected to be buyers targeting defensive help — names linked to the Colts include Riq Woolen, Trey Hendrickson, Logan Wilson and Cam Taylor-Britt. Owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon appears likely to back upgrades, and the front office has assets, including six 2026 draft picks and moderate salary-cap space, to pursue trades.
