Trade Deadline Latest: Breece Hall, Christian Barmore, Bills, Dolphins, Jets, Patriots

The latest trade‑deadline chatter centers on several NFL teams. The Bills could trade for Cardinals safety Budda Baker if Arizona agrees. The Dolphins, despite a poor record, aren’t eager sellers but would consider strong offers for DT Zach Sieler and OT Austin Jackson. Jets running back Breece Hall emerges as a surprise candidate, though insiders say New York likely retains him to bolster a deeper backfield and give HC Aaron Glenn a chance. OLB Will McDonald IV is also off the market. Meanwhile, the Patriots adopt an opportunistic stance, eyeing cheap depth pieces at DT or OLB and may flip high‑salary players like DT Christian Barmore for future assets.

Green Bay Packers add former Raiders Quarterback to practice squad

The Green Bay Packers add former Raiders seventh‑round pick quarterback Cam Miller to their practice squad on Nov. 4, 2026. Miller, a 25‑year‑old North Dakota State alum drafted 215th overall by Las Vegas, never saw regular‑season action and was released in August 2025, later briefed with the Dolphins before being cut in August 2026. He joins head coach Matt LaFleur, starter Jordan Love, and a team fresh off a 5‑3 win over Carolina, now sitting fourth in the NFC North. The move is unrelated to any trade talks involving running back Josh Jacobs.

5 Lions vs. Dolphins thoughts after watching Miami’s loss to Patriots

After the Dolphins fell 24-19 to the Patriots on Nov. 1, the Pride of Detroit breaks down five key takeaways for Detroit. Quarterback Malik Willis lingered too long—his 3.05‑second release ranks third‑slowest in the NFL and contributed to 21 sacks, opening a clear target for the Lions’ pass rush. New‑England’s nose tackle Cory Durden showed a burst, posting career‑high pressures and sacks, while Detroit’s Tyleik Williams and Alim McNeill can exploit Miami’s weak right line (guard Jonah Savai'i Naea ranked 66th, tackle Austin Jackson the league’s lowest). The Lions’ ground attack, which thrived against Minnesota, should grind down Miami’s middling rush defense (21st EPA/rush allowed). Though the game felt closer than the score, New England’s miscues and Miami’s defensive lapses make Detroit’s matchup look favorable.

Mailbag: Could the Detroit Lions target a linebacker at NFL trade deadline?

With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the Detroit Lions face a sudden linebacker crisis after rookie Jimmy Rolder’s season‑ending injury and All‑Pro Jack Campbell’s neck injury. While Detroit’s cornerback pursuits stalled, the podcast argues the Lions should target veteran Eagles linebacker Zack Baun—an All‑Pro on a manageable 2026‑28 contract (roughly $1.2‑$1.4 M per year). The Eagles’ $16 M dead cap and draft compensation could make the deal feasible. Additional names mentioned include Buccaneers’ Alex Anzalone and Dolphins’ Jordyn Brooks. The discussion also weighs the Lions’ NFC North rivals, especially the Bears’ Jeffrey Simmons acquisition, and broader strategic questions.

Undrafted out of Utah, Huntley posted a 69.1% completion rate for 727 yards, four TDs and one INT in five games this year. The Ravens will start UDFA Joe Fagnano against Jacksonville and have added Austin Reed and Kedon Slovis, with more roster moves likely.

Dolphins announce passing of perfect 1972 team member Bob Heinz

The Miami Dolphins mourn former defensive lineman Bob Heinz, who died in California on Oct. 31 at age 79. Heinz was a key part of the franchise’s historic 1972 perfect season, starting 11 games—including all three playoff matches—and contributing to the No‑Name Defense that allowed just 12.2 points per game en route to a 14‑0 regular‑season (17‑0 overall) record. Drafted 37th overall in 1969, he played eight seasons in Miami before finishing his career with the Washington Redskins in 1978, tallying 11.5 sacks in 122 games.
