The 2026 NFL trade deadline is less than a month away.<\/p>\n
Here’s what you need to know about this year’s trade deadline:<\/p>\n
When is the 2026 NFL trade deadline?<\/p>\n
The trade deadline is on November 10 at 1 p.m. (PT).<\/p>\n
While teams can certainly make a trade before then, all trades must be submitted to the league by 1 p.m. (PT) on that day.<\/p>\n
Is the trade deadline normally then?<\/p>\n
The 2025 NFL trade deadline was on November 4, but the key date is now usually after Week 9.<\/p>\n
In previous years, the trade deadline landed on the Tuesday after Week 8.<\/p>\n
But NFL owners voted at the 2024 Annual League Meeting to push the deadline to after Week 9.<\/p>\n
As a result, the trade deadline now typically falls during the first week of November.<\/p>\n
Will the Chargers make a trade?<\/p>\n
Chargers General Manager Joe Hortiz has shown a willingness to turn over parts of the roster where he sees fit in his two-plus seasons at the helm.<\/p>\n
In 2024, the Bolts did not make a deal at the deadline but made a pair of deals \u2014 including one for Elijah Molden \u2014 before the start of that season.<\/p>\n
In 2025, Hortiz swung an October trade with Baltimore in a deal that sent Odafe Oweh and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Bolts.<\/p>\n
The Chargers sent Alohi Gilman and a 2026 fifth-round pick to the Ravens in return.<\/p>\n
Hortiz also made two moves at the 2026 deadline, including adding offensive lineman Trevor Penning in a deal with the Saints in exchange for 2027 sixth-round draft pick.<\/p>\n
The Chargers also traded cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor to Jets for 2028 conditional seventh round pick.<\/p>\n
So, while Hortiz has certainly made moves before, the Chargers current sub-.500 record might change that line of thinking.<\/p>\n
