La Canfora Ranks Five NFL Trade Deadline Deals on Likelihood Scale

NFL insider Jason La Canfora has published a list of five potential blockbuster trades ahead of the deadline, scoring each on a 0-to-10 likelihood scale. The rankings arrive as league activity picks up following a major deal completed last week.

That deal sent defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons from the Tennessee Titans to the Chicago Bears. In exchange, Tennessee received a package of draft picks that La Canfora described as carrying value comparable to a trade for a starting quarterback.

The trade deadline has not yet arrived, and La Canfora indicated that more significant moves could be on the way. His ranked list is designed to show which reported trade scenarios have the highest chance of actually happening before the window closes.

Details of the five specific trades covered in La Canfora's rankings were not included in the available summary. The list reflects broader expectations that teams remain willing to part with considerable assets to address roster needs.

The Simmons trade already raised the bar for compensation in this year's market. No other transactions of similar size have been confirmed, leaving the deadline to determine whether any of the five ranked scenarios come to pass.
