While we haven't seen a big defensive player traded this month so far, it’s very possible we could see some really good players find new teams before the Nov. 5 trade deadline.
Combining some established reporting on possibly available players with some hunches on our end, let’s break down 10 veteran defensive linemen who could be traded in the next couple of weeks.
While none of these guys are locked to be traded, we have a feeling we could see at least a couple of these guys land in new spots.
