when does the trade deadline end

The NFL trade deadline for 2025 ended at 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. After that time, teams are not eligible to complete trades for that season, though negotiations can occur informally or be completed for future seasons as appropriate. This deadline follows the league’s decision to push back the date to align with Week 9 of the 17-game schedule. If you’re looking for specifics on which trades occurred by that cutoff, I can summarize the major moves and their impacts.
