Saints Receiving Trade Calls On Young Quarterback
New Orleans had a chance to cash in a former starting quarterback for outside assets. Instead, the team is keeping him around as insurance. New Orleans Chose Depth Over Draft Capital ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that the Saints received trade interest in Spencer Rattler but decided to keep him on the roster, where he'll serve as quality depth behind starter Tyler Shough. NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill reported that the Jacksonville Jaguars specifically inquired about Rattl...
Browns All-Pro Emerging As Potential Blockbuster Trade Candidate
Denzel Ward is barely two months removed from signing a contract that made him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history for the second time in his career. That hasn't stopped his name from surfacing again as a potential trade chip. Extension Didn't End The Speculation Back in June, after Cleveland shocked the league by trading Myles Garrett to the Rams, speculation quickly turned to whether Ward might be next out the door as part of a broader rebuild. The Browns moved to sh...
Insider Reveals Expected Length Of Suspension For Packers' Josh Jacobs
Josh Jacobs' legal case is over. The NFL's is not, and according to new reporting, the number the league is landing on is significant. Fowler Lays Out The Range ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that Jacobs could be facing a four-to-six-game suspension once the NFL completes its review under the Personal Conduct Policy, based on conversations with multiple people around the league. The NFL has not officially announced any suspension. Jacobs remains on the Commissioner's Exempt List while t...
Giants Could Revisit Trade Talks For Former Top-5 Pick
This isn't the first time Kayvon Thibodeaux's name has come up in trade conversations, and after one week of the regular season, it might not be the last. Giants Already Discussed Trading Him Once The Athletic's Dan Duggan reported that the Giants and Saints held trade talks involving Thibodeaux around this year's draft, with New Orleans emerging as the most interested team. The two sides never got close on compensation. New York wanted a second-round pick in return, while the Saints' ...
Patriots Almost Cut Veteran Just Weeks After Rejecting Trade Offers
New England had a chance to trade away one of its receivers before the season and turned it down. Weeks later, the team put that same player's roster spot in real jeopardy anyway. A Contender Wanted Him, Patriots Said No Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reported that a contending team reached out roughly four or five weeks before the season, specifically asking about Mack Hollins' availability. When Breer suggested the team consider Kayshon Boutte instead, the response made clea...
49ers Could Finally Move On From Brandon Aiyuk
San Francisco has made its stance on Brandon Aiyuk about as clear as an NFL front office can. They just haven't been able to find anyone willing to actually do something about it. Aiyuk Remains 49ers' Most Awkward Loose End General manager John Lynch has been publicly inviting offers on Aiyuk since his post-draft press conference back in the spring, at one point literally holding up his phone and telling reporters, "We're available. Give us a call." Nobody has called with an offe...
Tyreek Hill Eyeing Reunion With Chiefs
Tyreek Hill hasn't played a snap since last September, and he's still a free agent heading into Week 2. That hasn't stopped Kansas City from re-entering the conversation. Fowler Says Reunion Makes Sense ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that Hill remains fond of the Chiefs and that a potential in-season signing "would make a lot of sense" for both sides, adding that Hill should be closer to playing "around October." Kansas City opened its season with a 31-10 win over Denver, and the ...
Bears Could Make Big Trade After Alarming Week 1 Showing
Chicago spent its offseason trying to fix a defense that still has an obvious hole in it, and Sunday's opener didn't do much to suggest the problem is solved. ESPN Named Edge Rusher As Chicago's Trade Target Dan Graziano of ESPN wrote in his annual bold predictions column that the Bears remain in the market for a stronger edge presence to line up opposite Montez Sweat, and that general manager Ryan Poles could ultimately address it through a trade. Graziano didn't attach a specific nam...
Panthers Tight End Drawing Trade Interest
Carolina insisted all offseason that Ja'Tavion Sanders was staying put. One week into the regular season, his role on the field doesn't match that message. Panthers Discussed Him Before Cuts Joseph Person of The Athletic reported that Carolina had trade discussions involving Sanders before last weekend's roster cuts, and Person's reporting made clear those conversations came from other teams reaching out about the tight end rather than the Panthers being out there shopping him. W...
Lions & Steelers Talking Trade
For most of the summer, this looked like a stalemate with no real third option. Now it's turning into an actual trade market. Steelers Done Talking Extension Gerry Dulac reported that Pittsburgh is "done talking" about a new deal and won't revisit contract discussions, a firm stance that usually gets walked back but carries more weight given how far apart the two sides reportedly are. The cornerback sat out Pittsburgh's season opener, officially due to a back injury, though the c...
Multiple Teams Have Called Ravens About Surprise Quarterback Trade
Nobody expected Joe Fagnano to be a name teams were fighting over. The undrafted rookie out of UConn didn't get drafted back in April, and the Ravens have only carried three quarterbacks on their initial roster once in the past five years. Fagnano changed that math himself. Three Teams Called Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic said on the Ravens Collective podcast that at least three teams reached out to Baltimore about a potential trade for Fagnano after his preseason performance turned hea...
Titans Receiving Constant Trade Calls On Jeffery Simmons
Tennessee has been fielding trade calls on Jeffery Simmons for years, and every single one has ended the exact same way. Years Of Calls, Zero Offers According to Nick Suss of The Tennessean , rival teams have contacted the Titans about Simmons roughly once or twice a year across multiple seasons. Per Suss, multiple sources familiar with the conversations said talks never even reach the offer stage. Tennessee has reportedly been so firm that suitors aren't given the chance to name their...
Surprising Update Emerges On Joey Porter Jr. Trade Market
Joey Porter Jr.'s contract situation in Pittsburgh keeps getting more urgent. His trade market, apparently, does not. Porter And Steelers Still Apart Porter and the Steelers remain unresolved on a new deal, and Pittsburgh's longstanding policy of cutting off negotiations once the regular season starts has turned this into a real deadline. Porter himself sounded far from confident this week, telling reporters he's "not really" optimistic a deal gets done before the opener. Report:...
Bengals Veteran Emerging As Potential Trade Candidate
The Cincinnati Bengals reshaped their defensive line this offseason, and the moves may end up pushing one of their own starters out the door. Cincinnati signed Jonathan Allen in free agency and traded for Dexter Lawrence II this offseason, immediately crowding the interior of its defensive front. Per Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox , that surplus makes T.J. Slaton a trade candidate, even after he started all 17 games for the Bengals last season. The Numbers Work Against Him The pro...
Jerry Jones Signals Cowboys Have Another Trade Coming
Jerry Jones isn't hiding it anymore. The Dallas Cowboys owner confirmed this week that his team is positioned to make a trade if the right opportunity comes along. "The best way for me to answer that is not timing wise, right on something this morning or this week, but if you look at it generally speaking, we're in play," Jones said Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan, when asked whether the "substantive" trade talks he'd hinted at during training camp were still ongoing. Jones made clear whe...
Rams Nearly Landed Different Superstar Before Myles Garrett Trade
The Los Angeles Rams eventually landed Myles Garrett to headline their defensive front. According to a fresh report, he wasn't the only superstar edge rusher they seriously pursued this offseason. Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, writing in his Week 1 notebook for The Ringer, the Rams "strongly considered" trading for Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby before ultimately landing Garrett instead. "Garrett wasn't the only superstar edge the Rams strongly considered acquiring in the sp...
Giants & Patriots Linked To Blockbuster Trade
Kayvon Thibodeaux's name has floated in trade rumors for most of the offseason, and the New England Patriots could be the most logical destination if the New York Giants finally decide to move him. Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox reiterated the connection this month, predicting the Giants send Thibodeaux to New England for a 2027 second-round pick. "One of the Patriots' biggest weaknesses is their pass rush," Knox wrote. "While New England did sign Dre'Mont Jones and use a second-round...
Steelers Very Open To Trading Veteran Quarterback
The Pittsburgh Steelers are carrying an unusual four quarterbacks on their 53-man roster, and according to insider reporting, they'd very much like to trim that number by trading one of them away. Per NFL insider Jason La Canfora, citing NFL executives as sources, the Steelers have been very open to trading Mason Rudolph throughout the preseason. Crowded Room That Created This Situation Rudolph currently sits as the primary backup behind Aaron Rodgers, ahead of third-round rookie Dre...
3 Teams Already Circling Recently Released Veteran Receiver
Darius Slayton didn't stay unemployed for long, at least in terms of generating interest. The New York Giants released their longest-tenured player, and by the next morning, multiple teams had already reached out. Per Josina Anderson of Exhibit News Network, three interested teams contacted Slayton's camp shortly after his release, though she didn't name all of them. Anderson did point to the Indianapolis Colts as a speculative fit, while noting Indianapolis itself had not yet made...
Giants Cut Longest-Tenured Player In Surprising Move
The New York Giants released wide receiver Darius Slayton, cutting ties with the longest-tenured player on their roster just four days before the regular-season opener against Dallas. Slayton was a fifth-round pick out of Auburn back in 2019, the same draft class that brought Daniel Jones to New York, and he leaves having caught 296 passes for 4,435 yards and 22 touchdowns across seven seasons, six of which included at least 500 receiving yards. Move The Numbers Explain Slayton was in the ...
Seahawks Star Could Be Traded Before He Even Returns
Zach Charbonnet hasn't played a snap yet this season, and the defending Super Bowl champions may already be building his eventual replacement plan without him. Seattle officially shifted Charbonnet to the reserve/physically unable to perform list on August 30 as part of its final roster cuts, locking him out of action until Week 5 at the earliest under NFL rules. That timing sets up a fitting return date, with Seattle hosting San Francisco that week, the same opponent Charbonnet tore his...
Vikings QB's Trade Value Reportedly Tanking Fast
J.J. McCarthy's path out of Minnesota keeps getting narrower, and the numbers behind it aren't pretty. NFL insider Jason La Canfora reported this week that McCarthy's trade value is "considered low," a notable fall for a player the Vikings took 10th overall just two years ago. Vikings insider Alec Lewis of The Athletic backed that up on his YouTube show, suggesting McCarthy is now more likely to stay in Minnesota simply because no one wants to pay what it would take to get him. Trade T...
Cowboys Linked To Huge Trade Involving Their $64M Star
Kenny Clark's name keeps surfacing in Dallas Cowboys trade speculation. Last Word on Sports floated the idea this week that Dallas could move on from the veteran defensive tackle, pointing to head coach Brian Schottenheimer's comment that "we're not done" as evidence more roster moves could be coming. Contract Restructure That Says The Opposite Back in January, Dallas converted $11 million of Clark's roster bonus into a signing bonus and added three void years to his deal, a move...
AFC Team Brings In Justin Tucker For Workout Amid Roster Chaos
The New York Jets are still searching for answers at kicker just 11 days before the season opener, and Wednesday's search included one of the most decorated names to ever play the position. Justin Tucker was among three kickers who worked out for New York, along with Michael Badgley and Joshua Karty. Kicking Situation That Keeps Shifting New York's need at the position has been unstable all summer. The Jets let go of Nick Folk, who went 28-of-29 on field goals last season, in fre...
Jets Claim Kicker Off Waivers From Colts
The New York Jets moved fast at kicker this week, and the "competition" head coach Aaron Glenn promised didn't last long at all. New York claimed Blake Grupe off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts , one day after the Colts released him following a lost preseason battle with Spencer Shrader. The Jets also claimed linebacker Trevin Wallace off waivers from the Carolina Panthers in the same round of moves. Fast Resolution Grupe's arrival came right after incumbent Jason Sanders struggl...
