Bears & 49ers Pursuing The Same Players In Trade Talks
NFL insider Jordan Schultz says the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers are targeting the same defensive talent as the Oct. 10 deadline approaches. Both NFC contenders have expressed interest in Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat (who wants out and carries a $17 M non‑guaranteed salary), Chargers veteran Khalil Mack (35, three sacks, final year), and Colts DT DeForest Buckner (also in his contract’s last year). Sources note the Bears have called about Mack, while the 49ers have historic ties to Buckner. With the Bears at 5‑2 and the 49ers 6‑1, a flurry of 12‑20 trades is expected before the Nov. 10 deadline.
Report: Chiefs & Colts Linked To Huge Trade
The Kansas City Chiefs are actively scouting wide receivers ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, with ESPN insiders Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler flagging Indianapolis Colts' Josh Downs as a top candidate. Injuries have depleted Kansas City’s receiving corps—Rashee Rice is out with a hamstring, and Tyquan Thornton faces a lengthy ankle recovery—leaving Travis Kelce at 343 yards and rookie Cyrus Allen with just one catch in the recent loss to Seattle. Downs, a 25‑year‑old third‑round pick, leads the Colts with 307 yards in seven games and could be available as Indianapolis considers moving assets. The trade chatter also puts the Steelers in the mix for receiver upgrades.
Cowboys Linked To Trade For Cardinals' Star Pass Rusher
League insiders say the Dallas Cowboys could target Arizona Cardinals pass rusher Josh Sweat before the Oct. 10 trade deadline. Sweat, 29, posted 12 sacks in 2025 and has 2 sacks and four QB hits in six games this season, but is reportedly unhappy with his $16.3 million cap hit and wants out. The Cowboys, sitting 2‑4 and ranking near the bottom in defense (30th total, 25th scoring, tied 27th in sacks), need pressure on the edge, while the Cardinals, also 2‑4, may look for draft capital despite GM Monti Ossenfort’s earlier claim of “no interest” in trading him. If a deal materializes, it could reshape the NFC East race.
Colts Receiving Strong Trade Interest In Two Pro Bowlers
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Indianapolis Colts are fielding strong trade interest in guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner ahead of the November 10 deadline. Both veterans are in the final year of their contracts—Nelson, an eight‑time Pro Bowler and former sixth‑overall pick, has played six games this season, while Buckner also draws suitors. The team also expects offers for running back Jonathan Taylor, though his recent extension makes a move less likely. With a 2‑4 record, a fired GM and interim leadership, the Colts say they’ll assess the market after upcoming games against Minnesota, Jacksonville and Dallas before deciding whether to sell.
Multiple Teams Interested In Trading For Jonathan Taylor
Multiple NFL teams are reportedly eyeing a trade for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, though Indianapolis has not confirmed interest. Source Stephen Holder tells ESPN that the trade chatter follows the firing of GM Chris Ballard on Oct. 23 and interim GM Ed Doubs' links to Seattle’s front office. Taylor, 27, is under a two‑year, $44 million extension and leads the league with 89.9 rushing yards per game (492 yards, 7 TDs on 122 carries) after six weeks. The Colts sit 2‑4, and upcoming games vs. Minnesota, Jacksonville and Dallas could dictate whether they move Taylor, DeForest Buckner, or even Quenton Nelson before the Nov. 10 deadline.
2 Teams Named As Potential Sam LaPorta Trade Destinations
NFL Blue Book analyst Charles Robinson flags the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers as the top candidates if the Detroit Lions trade tight end Sam LaPorta before the Nov. 10 deadline. Robinson notes Broncos coach Sean Payton has sought a "high‑impact" TE to boost Bo Nix, while the Panthers are eyeing Bryce Young’s support. LaPorta, 25, is in a contract stalemate after the Lions ended extension talks; he posted 27 catches for 316 yards and three TDs in five games this season and carries a $6.748 M cap hit. Reports suggest Detroit could tag him, but a trade or new deal likely won’t materialize until after the 2026 season.
Bengals First-Round Pick Drawing Interest From Multiple Teams
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that several teams are quietly monitoring Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher Shemar Stewart as the Nov. 10 trade deadline looms. The 22‑year‑old 2025 first‑round pick (17th overall, Texas A&M) has seen limited action—17 defensive snaps, three games, one sack—and sits far behind veteran Cedric Johnson in the rotation. Despite his modest usage, the Bengals haven’t ruled out increased involvement, and Stewart’s fully guaranteed four‑year, $18.94 M contract (with a $4.3 M cap hit and a 2028 fifth‑year option) makes him a cost‑controlled asset. While Bengals Wire deems a trade “extremely unlikely,” Fowler suggests inquiries wouldn’t be surprising given Stewart’s upside.
Titans Could Trade $58 Million Star Just Months After Signing Him
The Tennessee Titans may trade Alontae Taylor, the $58 million cornerback they signed just seven months ago. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler flags Taylor as a sleeper trade‑deadline target after a benching in Week 6 of the 26‑20 win over Indianapolis, noting his poor PFF grade (101st of 104) and 21 receptions allowed. At 27, Taylor’s $9.49 M (2026) and $20.5 M (2027) guarantees make a deal costly; no suitors have emerged, and any return could be a late‑round pick. With the Titans 1‑5 and the deadline Looming on Nov 10, the team faces a tough decision on the over‑paid corner.
George Kittle Asked 49ers' GM About Trading For Chargers' Star
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle asked GM John Lynch about a possible trade for Chargers pass‑rusher Khalil Mack, and Lynch confirmed the question on KNBR on Oct. 16. While Lynch didn’t confirm interest, he noted the 49ers are active in talks ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline. Mack, 35, is on a $18 M, one‑year fully guaranteed deal and has three sacks in five games as the Chargers sit 0‑6. The 49ers sit 6‑0 after a 23‑17 win over Washington, hoping to bolster a sack‑starved defense.
Report: Eagles Expected To Trade Wide Receiver After Healthy Scratch
Philadelphia’s Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, a healthy former Chiefs WR with 49 catches, 587 yards and five TDs last season, is reportedly a trade target for teams needing receiver help. Signed to a one‑year, $5 million deal, Brown has appeared in only one Eagles game with no catches and was a healthy scratch in the recent loss to Carolina. With the Eagles sitting 2‑4 and Jalen Hurts out, speculation grows that Philadelphia may move the 29‑year‑old before the Nov. 10 deadline, though his value is uncertain.
Report: Chargers Expected To Sell Off Multiple Veterans Before Deadline
The winless Los Angeles Chargers are poised for a major roster shake‑up before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, according to Casino.org’s Jason La Canfora. Veteran pass rusher Khalil Mack (35, one‑year, $18 M deal with a $10 M signing bonus) looks “as good as gone,” while Derwin James (30, three‑year, $75.6 M extension) may also be moved amid high demand for his versatile defense. At least one receiver, likely Quentin Johnston, is on the trade list. Even quarterback Justin Herbert’s future is questioned, though a trade would need his approval due to a no‑trade clause. Coach Mike McDaniel’s tenure is described as a “flop,” with speculation about Jim Harbaugh taking over play‑calling.
Report: Colts Expected To Pursue New Starting Quarterback After GM Firing
The Indianapolis Colts dismissed GM Chris Ballard after a 2-4 start and are now focused on securing a new franchise quarterback. Insider Jason La Canfora says the incoming GM’s top priority will be drafting or trading for a QB, noting the team may be stuck with Daniel Jones despite his underwhelming performance and a hefty two‑year, $88 million extension signed this spring. Jones, still recovering from an Achilles tear, ranks near the bottom of quarterbacks in expected points added. The Colts also face pressure to move recent acquisitions like cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to recoup lost draft capital. Head coach Shane Steichen and assistant GM Ed Dodds will steer the team amid looming coaching changes.
Eagles Could Trade Multiple Stars Ahead Of Deadline
The Philadelphia Eagles sit 2-4 after four straight losses and face a pivotal decision before the November 10 trade deadline. Starting quarterback Jalen Hurts is out for the season with deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli, and the team’s recent moves—center Cam Jurgens for future picks and the retirement of right tackle Lane Johnson—suggest a possible shift toward selling assets. Trade whispers include running back Saquon Barkley, center Landon Dickerson, cornerback Riq Woolen, and others like Moro Ojomo and Dallas Goedert. General manager Howie Roseman has emphasized retaining defensive pieces while the front office weighs a potential fire‑sale.
Dolphins Could Trade 3 Veterans Before Deadline
The Miami Dolphins, 0-5 after their bye, are weighing trades for three veterans before the Nov. 10 deadline: DT Zach Sieler, RT Austin Jackson, and LB Josh Uche. CBS’s Carter Bahns and Casino.org’s Jason La Canfora flag Sieler and Jackson as movable, with Sieler potentially fetching a Day‑3 pick and Jackson and Uche likely yielding fifth‑ to seventh‑rounders. Sieler, 31, denies trade rumors and remains focused, yet the rebuild under coach Jeff Hafley and GM Jon‑Eric Sullivan could clear $7.4 M in cap space and net a 3rd‑ or 4th‑round pick. Jackson ranks 71st of 72 tackles, while Uche, on a one‑year deal, posts 20 tackles and a sack in five games.
Lions Could Pivot To Chiefs Corner After Missing On Trade
The Detroit Lions already tried to make one significant cornerback trade this month, and according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler , they should be back on the phone. Fowler wrote in his Week 5 buzz column that "the Lions should make a move for a cornerback," and he pointed to Kansas City's Kristian Fulton as one potential option. Detroit was among the teams that inquired about Joey Porter Jr. before the Steelers traded him to Dallas on September 30 for a 2027 sixth-round pick and a 2028 second-roun...
Jets Pass Rusher Among Names Who Could Get Traded
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler named Jets edge rusher Will McDonald IV among the pass rushers who could attract trade interest in the coming weeks, with New York sitting at 1-3 and the November 10 deadline getting closer. Fowler wrote in his Week 5 buzz column that teams will have interest in Cardinals edge Josh Sweat "as well as many other rushers on teams with losing records," and he listed the Chargers' Khalil Mack, the Jets' McDonald, and the Titans' Jermaine Johnson II as examples. McDonald's Rol...
Arizona Cardinals Star Requests Trade Amid Growing Interest
Arizona says it isn't trading Josh Sweat. Around the league, at least two executives don't buy it. Jason La Canfora of Casino.org spoke with NFL executives for his Week 4 notes and came away with two blunt takes. One general manager told him, "I hear he wants out." A longtime personnel executive went further. "I'd bet he's not there by the deadline." La Canfora also reports Sweat is unhappy with his contract. He expects a run on pass rushers as the November 10 deadline gets closer, whi...
NFL GM Predicts Former Pro Bowl QB Will Be Traded
An NFL general manager has a short answer on Gardner Minshew's future in Arizona. "Gone by the deadline." That's what the GM told Jason La Canfora of Casino.org for his Week 3 diary. The column came out last week, but the situation around Minshew has only gotten more interesting since. La Canfora didn't name the GM, and he didn't report that any team has called. Arizona Has A Reason To Move Him Jacoby Brissett is the starter. Through the first three games, he was completing 70.1 perc...
Colts & Cardinals Potentially Talking Blockbuster Trade
Adam Schefter didn't say the Colts called about Marvin Harrison Jr. But he didn't shut the idea down either. Appearing Monday on The Pat McAfee Show, Schefter was asked whether Indianapolis is one of the teams calling Arizona. "Who's calling on Marvin Harrison Jr.? Colts, Colts are calling? Get him back?" McAfee asked. "Wouldn't that make a lot of sense?" Schefter answered. McAfee took it as a yes. Schefter never confirmed or denied it, and there's no report that the Colts have made ...
Kansas City Chiefs Trying To Reunite With Tyreek Hill
The Chiefs reportedly didn't wait long to call Tyreek Hill. According to The Athletic's Michael Silver, Kansas City reached out to Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, on Sunday night. That was hours after receivers Tyquan Thornton and Rashee Rice both got hurt in the Chiefs' 30-27 win over Las Vegas. Silver reports the Chiefs are "very interested" in signing Hill, citing several high-ranking organizational sources. He also reports the team was already interested in a reunion before Sunday. On ...
Longtime Colts Starter Emerging As Trade Candidate
Grover Stewart has spent his entire NFL career in Indianapolis. According to The Athletic's Jonathan Jones , he's also a name to keep an eye on before the November 10 trade deadline. Jones put Stewart on a list of six players he's tracking after talking to sources around the league this week. The others are Steelers pass rusher Alex Highsmith, Commanders tackle Daron Payne, Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux, Browns receiver Jerry Jeudy, and Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. Jones kept...
Packers Think Star Defender Suffered Season-Ending Injury
The Green Bay Packers beat Tampa Bay 17-14 on Sunday to improve to 2-2. The win came with a cost. Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper was carted off in the third quarter, and the Packers ruled him out with an Achilles injury. No one touched him on the play, which is always the most concerning. Cooper took one step forward on a third-and-8 snap, fell to the turf, and grabbed at his ankle. A couple of minutes later, he was driven off the field. Packers LB Edgerrin Cooper believed to have suffered a...
Steelers Could Trade $68 Million Pass Rusher
The Pittsburgh Steelers just traded starting cornerback Joey Porter Jr. to Dallas. According to The Athletic's Jonathan Jones , they might not be finished dealing from the defense. Jones named Alex Highsmith among six players he's keeping an eye on ahead of the November 10 trade deadline, after what he described as shaking down sources around the league this week. "After shaking down sources this week, I'm keeping an eye on a number of players: Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith, Commande...
Commanders Star Drawing Trade Buzz Ahead Of Deadline
Daron Payne's name keeps coming up in trade conversations, and this week it came up from two directions at once. ESPN's Dan Graziano put the Commanders defensive tackle at the top of his early trade deadline candidate list on October 2. The Athletic's Jonathan Jones then independently named Payne among six players he's watching after talking to sources around the league. Two Insiders, Same Name Graziano's reasoning centers on the contract. "His contract voids at the end of the season...
Tennessee Titans Could Trade 4-Time 1,000-Yard Rusher
Tony Pollard is having one of the better individual seasons on an otherwise rough Tennessee Titans team, and that production is why his name is back in trade speculation again. ESPN's Dan Graziano named Pollard among his early trade deadline candidates for the second straight year. "The Titans have not looked good," Graziano wrote. "Pollard sort of has, rushing for 173 yards at 4.6 per carry. Running back is a position where teams endure significant attrition throughout the season, and P...
