The Colts are navigating a rapid roster shake‑up, having traded G Quenton Nelson to Seattle and DT DeForest Buckner to the 49ers while fielding offers for RB Jonathan Taylor, though owner Carlie Irsay‑Gordon has given no trade guarantees. Coach Shane Steichen and teammates stress staying focused amid the "business" of the NFL. Meanwhile, the Titans, after fielding league‑wide interest in DT Jeffery Simmons—including a recent Bears offer tied to the Myles Garrett deal—opt to flip Simmons for draft capital to speed their rebuild, while also eyeing a potential WR Calvin Ridley trade before the deadline.

The Vancouver Whitecaps ruthlessly dispatched the Seattle Sounders Sunday at BC Place, with a 5-1 win to emphatically finish off a 2026 sweep of the Caps’ Cascadia Cup rivals. You could have been forgiven for not realizing that Vancouver had locked up the number one spot in the Western Conference, as the Caps dominated from the opening whistle. Brian White bagged a brace, Ryan Gauld …

Amid swirling trade rumors, Jonathan Taylor delivers a final message to his Colts teammates after a crushing 42-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The running back, a 2020 second‑round pick, admitted the season will only get tougher and warned opponents they’ll be “foaming at the mouth.” Taylor recorded just 8 carries for 23 yards, 4 receptions for 24 yards and a fumble on Sunday, underscoring the team's struggles. With recent moves—Nelson to Seattle and Buckner to San Francisco—the Colts face a possible overhaul, and Taylor’s trade value is expected to exceed those recent deals.
Shane Wright's name has been on the NHL trade block for more than a year now, especially after he requested a trade out of Seattle early this past offseason.
Former Seattle Seahawks running back Dan Doornink dies at 70. The Seahawks announced his passing on November 1, 2026. Doornink spent seven seasons in Seattle after a 1978 seventh‑round pick by the New York Giants, highlighted by a 123‑yard rushing performance in the 1984 Wild Card win over the Los Angeles Raiders and a touchdown catch in the following AFC Championship. He finished his NFL career with 3.5 yards per carry, 15 rushing and 11 receiving touchdowns. After football, Doornink earned a medical doctorate from UW and served as a physician in his hometown of Yakima, Washington.
Already landing a future Hall of Famer in Quenton Nelson, the Seahawks have been linked to other possible trades leading up the November 10 deadline. How does the landscape look for John Schneider and company with 10 days until the deadline?
The Predators and Kraken swap former first-round picks as Wright finally finds a change of scenery.
The Seattle Kraken are trading Shane Wright to the Nashville Predators for Matthew Wood in a one-for-one deal.
The Las Vegas Raiders snapped a four‑game skid with a 38‑33 comeback win over the New York Jets, evening their record at 4‑4 while the Jets fall to 2‑6. After trailing 23‑14 at halftime, Kirk Cousins led a second‑half surge, throwing three TDs and going perfect in the red zone, matching the league lead. Rookie Mike Washington rushed for 83 yards, and a 95‑yard kickoff return by Dylan Laube became the team's first kick‑return TD in 15 years. Despite a still‑struggling ground game and a defense that has allowed 30+ points in five straight contests, the Raiders now face tougher foes—49ers, Seahawks and Broncos—to stay playoff‑relevant.
The Seattle Kraken have traded 22‑year‑old forward Shane Wright to the Nashville Predators in exchange for the Predators’ 2023 first‑round pick, winger Matthew Wood. Wright, who posted 27 points in 14 games for Seattle this season after a 44‑point rookie year, joins a Predators roster eager for a two‑way forward with upside. Wood, 21, logged 14 games for Nashville, tallying one goal and two assists, after a 17‑goal, 71‑game campaign last season. Both general managers see the one‑for‑one swap of under‑performing first‑rounders as a chance for the young players to thrive in new environments.
In Week 8, the Chicago Bears host the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football, showcasing the newest NFC power‑play swaps: the Bears’ defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (acquired for two first‑rounders) and the Seahawks’ guard Quenton Nelson (from the Colts). The matchup pits offensive prodigy Ben Johnson, who has turned Caleb Williams into a breakout quarterback and leads a Bears ground game that tops the league with 154.3 rushing yards per game, against defensive mastermind Mike Macdonald, whose Seattle unit ranks among the league’s best against the run. The clash of Johnson’s run‑first play‑calling and Macdonald’s stingy defense will likely decide the game and impact the NFC wild‑card race.
Jonathan Taylor is now on the market, and the New York Giants have emerged as one of several teams courting the 28‑year‑old Colts running back. NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter confirm Indianapolis is actively seeking a trade, with interest also from the Broncos, Packers, Vikings and Seahawks. The Giants, sitting 4‑2‑1 and leading the NFC East, could benefit from Taylor’s proven lead‑back ability, especially after placing Tyrone Tracy Jr. on IR. However, New York must weigh the cost, as they lack 2027 fourth‑ and fifth‑round picks and must consider Taylor’s recent contract extension. No deal has been announced yet.

Mack, a former Bears star with three Pro Bowls and 36 career sacks for Chicago, remains on an expiring contract, and the Chargers—currently winless—may trade him before the Nov. 10 deadline.
