Friedman Believes Larkin Trade List Will Be Altered Soon
Elliotte Friedman reveals that the trade list for Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin will likely be reshuffled within the next 24‑48 hours. While the exact destinations remain unclear, Friedman notes that teams such as Florida, Vegas, and Colorado could become involved, signaling a possible shift in the negotiation landscape.
Report: Larkin May Expand Trade list Again
Insider Elliotte Friedman reports that Detroit’s Dylan Larkin may revise his 10‑team trade list within the next 48 hours, potentially adding or dropping clubs to speed up a move. While teams like Florida, Vegas and Colorado seem unlikely, the Montreal Canadiens have emerged as a possible suitor, given their perceived assets and fan interest after the recent Wings visit to the Bell Centre. Larkin’s original list included Minnesota, Florida and Vegas, with seven more U.S. teams added later. After sitting out a game in protest, Larkin was suspended and is now missing portions of his $8.7 million salary, with unpaid earnings around $150,000 and rising.
Jonathan Taylor trade rumor from Adam Schefter confirms Colts’ asking price
With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the Indianapolis Colts have shifted from keeping star RB Jonathan Taylor to openly fielding offers. Adam Schefter says the asking price mirrors the 2022 package the 49ers gave the Panthers for Christian McCaffrey—multiple mid‑round picks, likely a second‑rounder plus a Day‑3 selection. Teams reportedly interested include the Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants, each grappling with weak backfields. Taylor, an elite back with two contract years remaining, could fetch a McCaffrey‑type return, though a more modest haul seems probable.

NY Giants & Denver Broncos Get Disappointing Week 8 Trade Update About Dream RB Target
The New York Giants and Denver Broncos see their hopes of acquiring star running back Saquon Barkley dashed as sources confirm the Eagles will not trade him before the Nov. 10 deadline. Both teams, sitting 4-2-1 in the NFC East and just a half‑game behind Kansas City in the AFC West, were eyeing Barkley to bolster playoff pushes.

Chiefs News: Chiefs-Broncos is a pivotal AFC West bout
The Kansas City Chiefs host the Denver Broncos at 3:25 p.m. on Nov. 1 in a pivotal Week 8 AFC West clash. Both teams sit near the top—Chiefs 5‑1, Broncos 5‑2—so a Chiefs win would extend their division lead to three games thanks to a head‑to‑head sweep, while a Broncos victory would tie the standings and give Denver a tiebreak edge due to a tougher remaining schedule. Denver’s defense, now the NFL’s No. 3 scoring unit and league‑leading with 21 sacks, faces a Chiefs offense that relied on Kenneth Walker’s 173 rushing yards in the season‑opening win.

A recent SB Nation Reacts poll reveals only 16% of Arizona Cardinals fans confidence in the team's direction after a 12‑play, three‑point drive against Denver. Despite offseason upgrades on the offensive line and at running back, scoring has slumped under head coach Jonathan LaFleur and starter Jacoby Brissett. Fans are pushing for 19‑year‑old quarterback Carson Beck to take the reins, viewing him as a potential cure before blaming the coach. The Cardinals enter the Cowboys matchup as full‑touchdown underdogs on FanDuel, with a projected team total of 23.5 points.

Bedard: Rankings where the Patriots could use help at the trade deadline
It's unlikely the Patriots will make a major deal, and I don't think they need to in order to compete for a Super Bowl title. While the Patriots' current injury situation is not ideal — and 180 degrees different than last season (that was predictable) — they are going to get a lot of players back with a lot of ballgame left, including some very challenging games (Bills, Vikings, at Chiefs, vs. Broncos) to prep/make their postseason push.

Suns Notes: Brooks, Green, Ighodaro, Dunn

Oso Ighodaro returns from an oblique strain with nine rebounds and five assists, and rookie Ryan Dunn adds energy as a small‑ball center, prompting optimism about the second unit’s growth.
