"One problem with the NFL trade deadline is that it's too early for some teams to make hard-and-fast decisions -- even though it has been moved back a week. The Panthers, for instance, enter Week 9 with a 4-4 record. Should they add? Should they trade players for draft picks? The answer probably depends on their outlook for the rest of the season, and whether they're real contenders now or still at least a year away. As a result, they probably stand pat this week."
"The Bengals, meanwhile, are 3-5 after last week's inexcusable loss to the Jets, but with the Steelers falling back to Earth and the Ravens still digging out of an early-season hole, the AFC North is within reach for everyone. If they still have hope that quarterback Joe Burrow ( toe) will return this season, the Bengals can't trade defensive end Trey Hendrickson. They could move on from linebacker Logan Wilson, who has made it clear he wants out, and some of the other players who haven't fit"
The 2025 NFL trade deadline is Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, and teams continue to weigh transactions amid a fluid market. Twelve in-season moves have already occurred and more are expected before the deadline. Timing complicates decision-making for clubs that remain undecided about contention status. The Carolina Panthers sit 4-4 and likely will hold current personnel rather than trade for draft capital. The Cincinnati Bengals are 3-5; hope for Joe Burrow's return limits the ability to move pass-rush rusher Trey Hendrickson, though linebacker Logan Wilson, who wants out, could be available along with misfit defenders.
