5 NFL players who could be moved before the 2022 trade deadline ft. Cam Akers

The 2022 NFL trade deadline is only around the corner (November 1), and plenty of the league's stars could be on the move beforehand.

The Carolina Panthers traded Christian McCaffrey in a blockbuster move that saw him move to the San Francisco 49ers. James Robinson has also seen himself traded, this time from the Jacksonville Jaguars to the New York Jets.

However, many other players could see themselves with new franchises by the deadline for reasons such as falling out with coaches or tactical moves to replace injured players.

#5 - Ronald Jones

Kansas City Chiefs v Chicago Bears

The Kansas City Chiefs only acquired running back Ronald Jones during the 2022 NFL offseason but could be ready to move on from him already.

Jones has been healthy all season but is yet to suit up in a game, as the Chiefs have Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerrick McKinnon, and Isiah Pacheco ahead of him in the depth chart.

A running back-hungry team could pick up Jones, who will be fresh, having had no football so far this year.

#4 - Mike Gesicki

Minnesota Vikings v Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki will likely be in trade talks as the deadline looms, as it's clear he doesn't suit Mike McDaniels' new offense in Miami.

So far this year, he's on pace for his lowest yards, targets, and receptions since his rookie year, despite signing the franchise tag in the offseason.

Gesicki has said he's happy with the Dolphins, but plenty of teams will likely enquire about the Penn State alumni, who is yet to reach 200 receiving yards in 2022.
