The 2025 NFL trade deadline is just days away, and New Orleans Saints cornerback Alontae Taylor could be the next player to find a new home. Selected out of Tennessee in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the cornerback is enjoying what is easily the best season of his career. Appearing in all eight games while making seven starts, the cornerback has defended four passes while recording one sack, 27 tackles, and a 64.3 PFF grade, the 40th-best mark out of 113 eligible cornerbacks.

Now playing in the final year of his contract, the 1-7 Saints have every reason to trade Alontae Taylor to the highest bidder. Their playoff hopes are nonexistent, and the cash-strapped Saints probably don’t have the money to re-sign him. Taylor isn’t a lockdown cornerback by any stretch of the imagination, but he’s a solid starter and can help slow down opposing passing attacks. That alone justifies a decent return in a trade, and any of the following five teams could make an offer.
