3 Blockbuster NFL trades that could still happen for NFC teams before the trade deadline

The NFL trade deadline is fast approaching. After November 4th, 2 p.m. EST, teams will no longer be able to bolster their rosters through trades.

Teams are likely to see what they can do to either enhance their teams for a specific playoff run or attempt to save their seasons from imploding.

The NFC seems to be the most competitive conference this season. There are also plenty of teams that have come to realize their season might be lost, so they will look to blow up their rosters for future draft picks.

Here's a look at three blockbuster trades that could happen in the NFC before the deadline.

Potential blockbuster trade by NFC teams

#3 - Jimmy Garoppolo to the Washington Football Team

Green Bay Packers v San Francisco 49ers

Jimmy Garoppolo will see his final days come soon with the San Francisco 49ers. The injury-prone quarterback has again fallen victim to an ailment that might sideline him for a few weeks.

It is now time for Trey Lance to start and keep the starting position throughout the 2021 season.

It's doubtful that Ryan Fitzpatrick will return to proper form after his hip injury, and the Washington Football Team will want to secure a dependable starting quarterback. Garoppolo's injuries aside, he is still a reliable starter.

The Washington Football Team has plenty of cap space and they could certainly afford the trade capital that the 49ers would ask for in a trade to send Garoppolo away.

A fresh start could be what Garoppolo needs. Working with new athletic trainers might help the veteran overcome his shoddy injury history.

#2 - Allen Robinson to the Philadelphia Eagles

Chicago Bears v Los Angeles Rams

Allen Robinson has yet to play with an elite quarterback. The quarterbacks he has played with include Andy Dalton, Mitch Trubisky, Nick Foles, Chase Daniel and Blake Bortles.

Justin Fields is currently the Bears' starting quarterback and has used Darnell Mooney more in the passing game. Robinson currently has just 149 receiving yards through four games.

The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the weakest wide receiving corps in the league.

Rookie DeVonta Smith currently leads the Eagles' receiving room with 237 yards through four games. Quez Watkins holds second place on the team with 219 yards through four games.

Production drops immensely below Watkins and Smith. Adding Robinson to the mix would bolster the unit immediately and help the Eagles chase their playoff hopes in a division that will not do them any favors.

#1 - O.J. Howard to the Dallas Cowboys

Los Angeles Chargers v Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Dallas Cowboys have found their identity and won games since their loss in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Cowboys are a strong team with talent on both sides of the ball. They, however, have been dealing with wide receiver issues since the beginning of the season.

With Mike Gallup being placed on the injured reserves list and Amari Cooper toeing the line of play and not playing, the Cowboys could do well by adding a dependable veteran to their team to keep their NFC East title hopes alive.

Howard is buried on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers team with immense talent, alongside Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Brown.

Jerry Jones never shys away from signing top talent, so he could very well want to make a splash before the trade deadline ends. Howard would be a welcome piece that Dak Prescott would be happy to add to his arsenal.
