49ers listed as a best fit for 4 potential trade candidates
The 49ers, fresh off acquiring DE DeForest Buckner, are already eyeing additional upgrades at defensive end and wide receiver. Trade chatter includes Maxx Crosby (if the Raiders budge), Khalil Mack, and Josh Sweat (despite his dip to two sacks in 2026). On the receiver side, the Niners consider Brian Thomas Jr. (Jaguars), Garrett Wilson (Giants), and Josh Downs (Colts), with the latter reportedly seeking a trade. Analysts give Thomas a 45% trade likelihood and Sweat a 40% chance. The piece weighs each prospect’s fit, contract status, and recent production, highlighting the team’s ongoing roster‑building push.
Houston Texans NFL Power Rankings: Week 8
After a 27-21 overtime loss to the New York Giants, the Houston Texans slip to 2-5 and drop to No. 18 in NFL.com’s power rankings (down from 22) and No. 21 on ESPN. The defeat highlighted recurring blocking and tackling woes, costly penalties, and a porous secondary without safety Jalen Pitre, as Giants rookie QB J.J. McCarthy sparked a 194‑yard passing barrage to Malik Nabers and Malachi Fields. Giants RBs Cam Skattebo and former Texan Devin Singletary combined for 165 rushing yards and two touchdowns, sealing the win. Despite the setbacks, C.J. Stroud’s connection with Marvin Harrison Jr. and TE Foster Moreau’s red‑zone impact keep hope alive heading into the bye week.
Saints power rankings: NFL Week 7
The New Orleans Saints drop in the NFL power rankings after a 16‑9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Paris on Oct. 25. NFL.com moves them to 23rd (‑3), Fox Sports to 25th (‑1), Bleacher Report also 25th (‑1), CBS Sports 27th (‑1) and Sports Illustrated 28th (‑3). Critics cite a nonexistent running game (only 18 net rushing yards), costly red‑zone errors by rookie QB Tyler Shough, injuries to Travis Etienne and Jordyn Tyson, and a defense that ranks near the bottom in yards and points allowed. With a tough schedule looming post‑bye, the Saints face pressure to reverse the slide.
Patriots trade deadline 2026: News and rumors tracker
The Patriots sit at last season’s loss total but still vie for an AFC playoff spot, hampered by early‑season injuries. With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET, New England may pursue a roster overhaul, adding targets like A.J. Brown, Jaylen Reed, Corey Kiner or Walter Rouse, or offloading players as in 2025. Recent rumors include Colts interest in WR Josh Downs, a former teammate of QB Drake Maye, while All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson heads to Seattle for a 2027 third‑round and 2028 fifth‑round pick. The tracker will update as deals develop.
Arizona Cardinals reportedly seek a high draft pick for Josh Sweat
The Arizona Cardinals are reportedly demanding a high Day‑2 draft pick for veteran pass rusher Josh Sweat, who requested a trade after head coach Jonathan Gannon was fired. Sweat, under contract through 2028, posted 12 sacks in 2025 but has only two through seven games this season. Teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers are linked to a potential deal. Trading him could net valuable draft capital, yet would leave Arizona short on pass‑rush production.

Newton, 24, has been sidelined since mid‑August with a pectoral injury that typically requires three to four months to heal. A former consensus All‑American at Illinois and a second‑round pick (No. 36, 2024), he posted 38 tackles, five sacks, a forced fumble and four TFLs in 17 games last season. The move could see him back on the field sooner than expected.
Has this NY Jets defender finally turned a corner?
Entering the 2026 season, the New York Jets were looking for a significant bounce-back year from linebacker Jamien Sherwood.

Devonte Wyatt, where art thou?
The Packers’ 2026 season highlights a worrying decline for former first‑round pick Devonte Wyatt. After a $57 million, three‑year deal—including a $20 million signing bonus—Wyatt’s pressure rate has slumped from 9%+ early in his career to just 5.4% this year, and his run‑defense grades have languished at 52 or lower for four straight seasons. With teammate Karl Brooks stepping up and the Lions’ scheme neutralizing Packers pass rush, Wyatt logged zero pressures in two consecutive games. As the team faces potential cuts to Javon Hargrave and looks to retain Brooks, Green Bay hopes Wyatt can rebound before his contract is reconsidered after 2027.
Former Rams’ kicker held ‘impressive’ workout for Chiefs
Former Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis impressed the Kansas City Chiefs in a recent workout, but the team ultimately chose veteran Justin Tucker for the place‑kicker role due to Tucker's experience. Mevis, who posted a 92% field‑goal rate in 2025 but struggled at 50% in 2026 before being released after a blocked overtime kick vs. Buffalo, remains a free agent. The Chiefs are looking to replace under‑performing Harrison Butker, who will try to keep his job against the Denver Broncos Sunday, while Tucker hopes to revive his career after off‑field issues.

Cole Kmet’s Injury Could Unlock a Different Bears Offense
The Bears’ season‑ending loss of tight end Cole Kmet to a knee injury forces head coach Ben Johnson to retool the offense. With veteran Colston Loveland now the starter and rookie Sam Roush as his sole backup, Chicago may lean on extra six‑lineman formations featuring lineman Ozzy Trapilo to share Kmet’s blocking duties while still deploying Loveland, Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze as receivers. Johnson stresses a flexible approach rather than a wholesale overhaul, hoping Roush’s growing role and the added line size keep defenses guessing as the team pushes for the final games.
