‘Extra Little Something’: Cooper Flagg Says NBA Cup Gives Dallas Mavericks Extra Motivation After 2-0 Start In Group Play
The Dallas Mavericks sit 2-0 in West Group A of the NBA Cup, beating the Utah Jazz 112-100 after a 116-111 win over the Houston Rockets. First‑overall pick Cooper Flagg says the Cup adds an "extra little something" that fuels the team's energy and effort, highlighted by his 21 points—15 in the third quarter—plus 10 rebounds and 7 assists against Utah. Kyrie Irving dropped 35 points in the Rockets game, while P.J. Washington scored 22 early against Utah.

ESPN Icon Fires Back at Brittany Mahomes and Kelly Stafford With Three-Word Advice

Cohn advises the quarterbacks’ wives to "know the room," stressing how their comments resonate beyond the league.

Raiders Make Two Moves Including Releasing WR Phillip Dorsett
The Las Vegas Raiders announce two roster moves: defensive tackle Tim Keenan earns a promotion from the practice squad, while veteran wide receiver Phillip Dorsett is released. Dorsett, a 2015 first‑round pick who has bounced between teams—including the Colts, Patriots, Seahawks, Jaguars, Texans, Broncos and a brief stint with the Falcons—joined the Raiders in 2025 on a futures contract and has been on and off the roster. The move marks the latest shift for the 33‑year‑old after appearing in just two games with the Broncos in 2023.
Chiefs Get Triple Injury Blow on Defense Before Week 9 Clash With Jets
The Chiefs enter Week 9 against the New York Jets missing three defensive starters. Cornerback Mansoor Delane (shoulder), rookie DT Peter Woods (neck) and safety Omarr Norman‑Lott (knee) are out, while Nikko Remigio remains questionable. Delane, a 2026 first‑round pick, has logged 27 tackles and an interception in five starts; Woods contributed 13 tackles, a half‑sack and a pass breakup in seven games. Their absences force head coach Andy Reid to reshuffle the rotation, putting extra pressure on Chris Jones and Khyiris Tonga to preserve Kansas City’s league‑leading run defense after a 28‑24 loss to Denver.
Broncos Activate WR Pat Bryant, Among Other Moves
The Denver Broncos activate 23‑year‑old WR Pat Bryant from injured reserve, adding him to a four‑year, $6.58 million deal with a $1.43 million signing bonus. Bryant, a former Illinois starter and 2024 Second‑Team All‑Big Ten honoree, has played four games this season, logging nine catches for 133 yards and a touchdown. Denver also elevates S Taylor Rapp for a second straight week, places DL Eyioma Uwazurike on IR, promotes RB Cody Schrader, and signs CB Sean Fresch to the active roster.

ESPN Names Broncos’ ‘Best In-Season Trade Acquisition’ in History
ESPN’s NFL analysis crowns Denver Broncos wide receiver Haven Moses as the franchise’s greatest in‑season trade ever. Acquired from the Buffalo Bills in a 1972 midseason swap for Dwight Harrison, Moses posted 15 catches, 224 yards and five TDs in just eight games, then logged 302 receptions, 5,450 yards and 44 touchdowns over a decade. His deep‑ball threat helped Denver secure its first winning season in 1973, reach the playoffs, and earn its inaugural Super Bowl berth after the 1977 campaign, highlighted by a 168‑yard, two‑TD performance in the AFC Championship. The accolade underscores the long‑term impact of that trade.

The game airs on Altitude and DSN.
Cardinals Deliver Brutal Rejection to Broncos’ Blockbuster Attempt to Land Trey McBride
Ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, the Arizona Cardinals bluntly shut down Denver’s bid for star tight end Trey McBride. Despite interest from multiple teams, the Cardinals — who just swapped Jacoby Brissett for draft picks — say they have “zero intention” of moving McBride, who leads the league with 66 catches (544 yards, 5 TDs) after eight games. The 26‑year‑old’s $76 million extension makes a trade financially painful, costing Arizona $26.8 million in dead money. Meanwhile, the Broncos, coming off a 30‑16 loss to Arizona, struggle at tight end and will look elsewhere as they chase a Super Bowl run.
KC Chiefs Get Grim Week 9 Update on Brian Thomas & Josh Downs Trades, But New & Better Option Emerges
The Kansas City Chiefs’ pursuit of a wide‑receiver trade stalls as the deadline looms. Jacksonville balks at moving former first‑round pick Brian Thomas Jr. to an AFC rival, and Indianapolis demands at least a third‑round pick for Josh Downs, far above what Kansas City typically offers. With the Chiefs’ passing game exposed in recent losses to Seattle and Denver, attention shifts to a possible Dallas Cowboys deal for former Pro Bowler George Pickens. If the Cowboys’ season falters, Pickens—costing $13.65 million for the final weeks—could be a creative, Day‑2‑pick trade that restores a Tyreek Hill‑type threat for Kansas City after Week 9.
Denver Broncos checked in on Trey McBride: Who could they trade for?
The Denver Broncos are probing trade options as the 2026 season’s deadline approaches, initially targeting Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride—widely regarded as the league’s top TE—but Arizona has ruled out any deal. With McBride off the table, Denver looks to upgrade tight end and running back spots. Potential TE targets include Dallas’ veteran Dallas Goedert (possible Day 3 pick) and Detroit’s Sam LaPorta. Running back candidates range from New York’s injury‑plagued Breece Hall (likely a 3rd‑round pick) to Indianapolis star Jonathan Taylor (demanding a 2nd‑5th‑round package) and Tennessee’s Tony Pollard, who might fetch a 4th‑rounder. The article weighs each prospect’s recent performance, contract status, and trade cost.

Indiana faces a deeper list: Kelly Oubre Jr. and TJ McConnell are questionable, while Tyrese Haliburton, Johnny Furphey, Ben Sheppard and others are out. The report clarifies DeRozan’s likely availability and both teams’ health statuses.
