The episode also covers a wild Week 9 preview, a doctor’s take on Philadelphia’s QB situation, the Jeffery Simmons‑styled Bears, and praise for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ new uniforms. Listeners get a mix of election‑day banter, football speculation, and midseason outlooks.
The Baltimore Ravens, reeling from season‑ending injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley in a Week 8 loss to Buffalo, trade for veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals. Reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the deal is expected to finalize this weekend, though Brissett won’t debut against the Jaguars Thursday. The move ends the Ravens’ quarterback crisis and signals a shift from relying on an undrafted rookie to a seasoned starter.
After Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley both go down with season‑ending injuries, the Baltimore Ravens have turned to veteran Jacoby Brissett. The 33‑year‑old, who started eight games for the Arizona Cardinals this year, is being traded to Baltimore and will likely take over in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano will start the Thursday night Week 9 game versus Jacksonville, but the Ravens hope Brissett’s 11‑year NFL experience—63.3% completion, 1,719 yards, 10 TDs and seven picks—will stabilize a 4‑4 team. The deal, reported by Adam Schefter, completes after a flurry of practice‑squad signings and will be finalized after the Jaguars matchup.
The Baltimore Ravens are close to acquiring quarterback Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals, with the trade expected to finalize this weekend. Injuries to starter Lamar Jackson (thumb) and backup Tyler Huntley (turf toe) have left the Ravens with rookie Joe Fagnano and recent sign‑offs Kedon Slovis and Austin Reed. Brissett, who was benched by Arizona in Week 8, is set to debut in Week 10 on Monday Night Football against the Chargers, after missing Thursday’s game versus Jacksonville. Compensation details remain undisclosed.
The Baltimore Ravens are set to bolster their quarterback depth by acquiring Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The trade is expected to finalize this weekend ahead of Baltimore’s Thursday Night Football matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Details on the terms of the deal remain pending.
The trade deadline chatter centers on the Colts, Jaguars and Titans. ESPN’s Adam Schefter flags QB Daniel Jones as a surprise candidate, while offers linger for RB Jonathan Taylor and WR Josh Downs; DT Grover Stewart, TE Mo Alie‑Cox and WR Keenan Allen also float on the market. The Jaguars are aggressively courting interior D‑line help, eyeing Eagles DT Moro Ojomo and Cardinals S Budda Baker, and field interest in WR Brian Thomas Jr. from the Chiefs. Titans insider Terry McCormick says deals are “slim,” though RB Tony Pollard could fetch a mid‑round pick, with S Amani Hooker, WR Calvin Ridley and DE Jacob Martin also listed as trade bait. The deadline looms Tuesday.
Brian Thomas Jr., the 2024 first‑round pick who burst onto the scene with 87 catches, 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie, has slipped to just 824 yards and four scores in 21 games this season. Now 24 and under contract through 2027, the Jaguars are willing to move him before the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 10. Sportsnaut lists six likely destinations: the Las Vegas Raiders, who need a reliable target for Kirk Cousins; the Washington Commanders, who could reunite Thomas with former LSU teammate QB Jayden Daniels; the Seattle Seahawks, seeking a spark beyond Jaxon Smith‑Njigba; the Pittsburgh Steelers, open to a high‑upside gamble; the Kansas City Chiefs, needing depth behind Patrick Mahomes; and the Los Angeles Rams. Each team’s specific receiver woes are detailed, making the trade saga a must‑read for NFL fans.
The Arizona Cardinals are weighing a tough trade deadline decision as veteran safety Budda Baker, a longtime franchise staple, draws interest from the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says both contending teams see Baker’s experience and versatility as a boost for their playoff pushes, while Arizona’s losing streak could make moving the player more likely. The trade talk also includes defensive end Josh Sweat, linked to the Dallas Cowboys, and quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who signed a reworked contract in August and may be open to a mid‑season move.
The Ravens, reeling after a blowout loss to the Bills and a thumb injury that could sideline Lamar Jackson for the season, face a quarterback crisis with third‑string Joe Fagnano likely starting Thursday against Jacksonville. ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler suggests Baltimore consider a low‑cost trade for Colts QB Daniel Jones, whose $5.5 million base salary is tradable and whose 2027 guarantees kick in offseason. The Colts are already moving assets, sparking talk that Jones could be on the move. The trade could give Baltimore a chance to salvage its season.
As the NFL trade deadline looms, the Commanders eye receiver help but likely pass on Brandon Aiyuk after his social‑media drama, while CB Mike Sainristil sparks modest interest. The Cowboys, still in the NFC East race, seem set to keep WR George Pickens and may only move depth pieces like TE Luke Schoonmaker. The Eagles plan to retain DT Moro Ojoku despite Jaguars interest and could flip CB Riq Woolen, WR Marquise Brown or TE Dallas Goedert. The Giants have offered the Colts a first‑rounder for RB Jonathan Taylor but may settle for a defensive tackle, eyeing DT Grover Stewart over a likely‑unmovable Vita Vea. All moves hinge on value before the deadline.
With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the Indianapolis Colts must decide whether to move star running back Jonathan Taylor. The 27‑year‑old, under contract through 2028, has attracted interest from the Broncos, Vikings, Seahawks and Giants, and Indianapolis seeks a first‑round pick in return. After a 2‑6 start and a crushing 42‑7 loss to Jacksonville that dropped fan confidence to 31%, the team faces a rebuilding crossroads following the recent departures of Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner. Trading Taylor could stockpile draft capital, but would further weaken an offense already struggling to score. Fans are left weighing long‑term optimism against short‑term pain.
With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the Baltimore Ravens are weighing a blockbuster move for 33‑year‑old Derrick Henry. The veteran back already has 632 rushing yards and eight TDs this season, but a thumb injury to Lamar Jackson has derailed Baltimore’s Super Bowl hopes. Henry’s $12 million salary is largely offset by bonuses, making him a cap‑friendly target for contenders. The New York Giants, whose coach John Harbaugh knows Henry from Baltimore, and the New England Patriots, linked to him through former Titans coach Mike Vrabel, emerge as the most plausible suitors. The Ravens must decide soon as a loss to Jacksonville could accelerate talks.
The Baltimore Ravens face a pivotal decision before the trade deadline as injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley leave the team 4-5 and struggling. ESPN’s Dan Graziano flags veteran running back Derrick Henry, who turns 33 in January, as a potential trade target. Henry’s $12 million salary for 2027 is largely non‑guaranteed, making him affordable for suitors, while his current base pay is just $1.255 million. A loss to Jacksonville could accelerate talks, signaling the Ravens might shift strategy if championship hopes fade.
Week 9 fantasy owners get mixed signals at wide receiver. Parker Washington (JAX) looks to rebound against a Ravens defense that yields the eighth‑most fantasy points to WRs after a 1‑reception, 16‑yard outing in the 42‑7 win over Indianapolis. Keenan Allen (IND) remains a steady target and could thrive versus a Dallas secondary that’s struggled against the pass. Ladd McConkey (LAC) offers upside after a 86‑yard, 54‑yard burst against the Rams, but the Chargers’ inconsistent air attack tempers expectations. Conversely, Michael Wilson (ARI) sits out due to reported broken ribs and a tough Seattle matchup that historically suppresses WR production. These start‑sit recommendations help managers fine‑tune their Week 9 lineups.
Bleeding Green Nation releases its Week 9 NFL Power Rankings, led by the Chicago Bears at No. 1 after a dominant win over the defending Super Bowl champs in Seattle. The San Francisco 49ers sit second, while the Buffalo Bills remain the AFC’s sole one‑loss team at third. The Kansas City Chiefs drop to fourth after two straight defeats, and the Detroit Lions hold the top spot in the NFC North at fifth. Highlights include Jacksonville’s league‑best +85 point differential at seventh, Seattle at eighth, and a struggling Ravens squad falling to sixteenth amid injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are debating whether to trade rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., one of the few players still linked to a potential deal. Fans are asked to weigh his current production against the value of an extra draft pick, considering if he can regain his rookie form. The post also links to recent Jaguars highlights, a mailbag, and other NFL news, inviting comments on the trade speculation.
Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley suffers a season‑ending turf toe injury, joining Lamar Jackson as the team’s second QB loss within hours. The 28‑year‑old, who has bounced between practice squads and brief stints with the Browns, Dolphins and Browns again, was forced out of the loss to Buffalo and will miss the rest of 2026. 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.
The Eagles face a trade‑deadline dilemma over defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, who has drawn genuine interest from teams like Jacksonville despite a modest stat line (zero sacks this season, six career). With recent big‑money extensions for Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis, Philadelphia may prefer to flip Ojomo for a third‑ or even second‑round pick rather than overpay, though GM Howie Roseman has hinted the team wants to retain homegrown talent. Ojomo’s own comments are non‑committal, and the move could signal the Eagles’ willingness to capitalize on a seller’s market without initiating a full rebuild.

Quarterback Daniel Jones, who was pulled in the blowout, is confirmed to start despite a 68.7 passer rating and five TDs to nine interceptions. Running back Jonathan Taylor, a bright spot with 610 yards and eight TDs, is the subject of active trade talks with several teams. Wide receiver Josh Downs has also requested a trade. Both teams sit at 3‑5 (Cowboys) and 2‑6 (Colts), making the game a key test amid Colts uncertainty.
The Chicago Bears blast the Seattle Seahawks 34‑17 on Monday Night Football, with rookie QB Caleb Williams delivering a solid 24‑of‑34, 247‑yard passing performance, one touchdown and no interceptions. His TD‑INT ratio improves as Dak Prescott overtakes Jared Goff in the league chart, while the Bears edge closer to the franchise single‑season scoring record after adding 95 points in the last three games. Running backs Rome Odunze and Luther Burden are on track for 1,000‑yard seasons as the Bears eye tough matchups against the Buccaneers, Saints, Lions, Jaguars and Dolphins.
The Ravens face a crucial decision as they name rookie undrafted quarterback Joe Fagnano the starter for their upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Lamar Jackson already on injured reserve and backup Tyler Huntley also likely to miss time, Fagnano could helm the offense for the next four weeks, putting Baltimore's season on the line.
The Ravens’ quarterback corps is in crisis as injuries sideline starter Lamar Jackson (right thumb) and backup Tyler Huntley (toe) after a 36-10 loss to Buffalo. Rookie Joe Fagnano, who debuted in that game, now battles an ankle issue, prompting Baltimore to sign emergency QBs Kedon Slovis and Austin Reed just before practice. Coach Jesse Minter confirms Fagnano will start Thursday’s matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, leaving the team scrambling to learn the offense with minimal preparation. The article details the depth‑chart turmoil and the urgent need for healthy playmakers at the position.
After a 2‑5 start, the Houston Texans head into a pivotal stretch following their bye week. Sitting 11th in the AFC, they're 2.5 games behind the Jaguars for the last playoff spot and 2.5 games back of New England for the Wild Card. With three home division games left but a 0‑4 home record, the Texans rely on a 2‑1 road record and a tough November schedule that includes a win‑or‑die clash at the LA Chargers, trips to Cleveland and the Baltimore Ravens, and a home showdown with the Colts. Quarterback C.J. Stroud’s play and potential trade moves—like targeting Danielle Hunter—could shape their chances to stay in the draft top‑10 and keep playoff hopes alive. The next two weeks will determine if the bye’s adjustments translate into a surge or signal a rebuild.
The Ravens face a quarterback crisis after Lamar Jackson’s thumb injury and Tyler Huntley’s toe issue, leaving undrafted Joe Fagnano to start Thursday Night Football against the Jaguars. With the Nov. 10 trade deadline looming, the team is reportedly exploring veteran QB options like Mac Jones or Case Keenum, according to ESPN’s Ian Rapoport. Fagnano’s performance—he threw 10 of 21 for 91 yards, no touchdowns and one interception against Buffalo—could dictate whether GM Eric DeCosta pursues a trade or sticks with the rookie.
