Like we tallied with wide receivers and defensive linemen, we could see some running backs traded at this year’s 2024 NFL trade deadline.

With running back Cam Akers being traded to the Minnesota Vikings earlier this month, it’s very possible we could see more solid running backs 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 5 veteran running backs 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. None of these guys are stars, but they could all help a contender.
