NFL Trade Rumors Roundup: Latest on Brian Thomas Jr, Josh Downs, Kirk Cousins, NY Giants, Vikings and More

With the 2026 NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the biggest buzz centers on Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, who may head to the New York Giants—the only team reportedly offering a serious package, though still below the Colts' asking price of a future first‑rounder or a McCaffrey‑style haul. Wideout Josh Downs is also on the move, likely for a fourth‑round pick, with the Chiefs, Steelers and 49ers showing interest. Meanwhile, the Vikings, struggling under Kyler Murray's low QBR, are exploring quarterback options instead of a running back. The Jacksonville Jaguars field interest in Pro Bowl receiver Brian Thomas Jr., but his value as a downfield threat and locker‑room popularity may keep him in Jacksonville.

Ravens rumors: Derrick Henry gets reassurance he won’t get moved at NFL trade deadline

Derrick Henry is set to stay with the Baltimore Ravens as the NFL trade deadline approaches, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The five-time Pro Bowler, who had been linked to a possible trade after Baltimore’s 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars that dropped the team to 4-5, received direct reassurance from the organization. Henry has logged 689 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in nine games, and his continued presence bolsters a struggling offense dealing with injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. The Ravens aim to keep their core rushing attack intact while seeking stability before the November 10 deadline.

Chiefs Ramping Up Trade Effots For Jaguars' Brian Thomas Jr.

The Kansas City Chiefs are intensifying their hunt for a wide receiver as the trade deadline looms, but Jacksonville’s reluctance to part with first‑round pick Brian Thomas Jr. threatens to stall the deal. Though Thomas has logged just one catch for 12 yards in his last four outings and saw limited snaps this season, the Jaguars value his downfield threat for stretch‑run play. Chiefs alternatives include the Indianapolis Colts’ Josh Downs, likely costing a fourth‑round pick. With the deadline on Tuesday, Kansas City must decide quickly whether to pursue Thomas or pivot to Downs.

Colts rookie LB CJ Allen will be handling important defensive duty on Sunday for first time

Colts rookie linebacker CJ Allen steps into the coveted “green dot” role for the first time on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys after veteran Akeem Davis‑Gaither is ruled out with a knee injury. The Indianapolis defense will rely on Allen’s 2nd career start to handle the on‑field radio and relay play calls, a duty that caused a controversial miscommunication in Week 1 when safety Cam Bynum filled the spot. Allen impressed in his debut against Jacksonville, posting a team‑high 10 tackles and a sack, and could become a core piece of the Colts’ defense if he adapts to the new responsibility.

Former Ravens Coach Admits He ‘Crossed the Line’ After Liam Coen Mockery

After former Ravens coach Chuck Pagano mocked Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen’s viral “Duval” celebration on The Pat McAfee Show, Pagano apologized and admitted he “crossed the line.” The Jaguars answered with a 33‑10 Thursday Night Football win over Baltimore, extending their 6‑2 record and leading the AFC South by 3½ games. Trevor Lawrence threw for 242 yards and a TD, while the defense forced three turnovers and held the Ravens to just 60 passing yards. The victory marked Jacksonville’s second straight dominant performance, highlighting a defense that has allowed ten points or fewer in four of eight games this season.

Seahawks Release RB Velus Jones

The Seattle Seahawks cut running back Velus Jones on Friday, ending his brief stint with the team. The 29‑year‑old, a former third‑round pick by the Bears in 2022, has bounced between practice squads and active rosters this season, appearing in six games for Seattle with 28 rushing yards on nine carries (3.1 YPC) and a -1 yard reception. Jones previously spent time with Jacksonville, Carolina, and New Orleans after his rookie deal with the Bears expired.

AFC Notes: Daniel Jones, Braden Smith, DeMeco Ryans, Colts, Texans

In Week 8, Colts quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 144 yards, one TD and two interceptions in a loss to the Jaguars, prompting head coach Shane Steichen to stress the need for better execution and offensive command while still backing Jones as the team’s best chance to win. Meanwhile, Texans coach DeMeco Ryans praised rookie OT Braden Smith’s debut, highlighted the steady play of rookie lineman Keylan Rutledge, and urged second‑year tackle Aireontae “’Tae” Ersery to maintain his motor in the second half. After a 2‑5 record post‑bye, Ryans says Houston is refocusing on fundamentals, cleaning up penalties, and awaiting injury updates on RB David Montgomery.

6-2 Jaguars Facing Difficult Brian Thomas Balancing Act

The Jaguars’ future with third‑year wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. tops the NFL trade‑deadline chatter. Once a 1,200‑yard rookie, Thomas has fallen to fourth in team targets (21) and fifth in receptions (10) through eight games, recording just one catch—a 12‑yard TD versus Indianapolis—in his last four outings. Coach Liam Coen describes his role as a “sacrificial X” that stretches defenses for Trevor Lawrence’s middle‑field throws, a valuable but low‑stat contribution. Locker‑room chemistry, lessons from the 2025 Tyson Campbell trade, and interest from other teams add layers to the debate, while executives speculate his Jaguars tenure may end before the Nov. 10 deadline.

OT Austin Jackson (Dolphins) and Browns’ Dawand Jones—both on expiring or cheap contracts—are potential targets for the Packers, Bengals, Texans or Panthers. The piece spotlights each player’s contract situation, performance, and best‑fit teams ahead of the deadline.

NFL Insider Tabs Steelers Veteran as Trade Candidate

NFL insider Albert Breer says the Steelers could trade veteran linebacker Cole Holcomb to acquire a wide receiver before the Nov. 10 deadline.

He’s logged four tackles in 22 snaps over eight games.

Baltimore receives Brissett and a 2027 fifth‑round pick, while Arizona gets a 2027 fourth‑round and a 2028 seventh‑rounder. Fans react with mixed feelings, questioning the low return for Brissett but acknowledging the need for a veteran after injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley.

Reacts Survey Results: The Jaguars’ Biggest Fear Is Obvious

A recent Reacts survey of Jacksonville Jaguars fans reveals the Buffalo Bills as the team most feared in the AFC. The Bills, tied with the 49ers and Vikings at 6‑1, lead the league with 33.3 points per game and eliminated Jacksonville in last season’s playoffs. Despite 93% of fans believing the Jags are on the right track, odds to win Super Bowl LXI have fluctuated, dropping to +950 after Week 8.

What the numbers say about a winner in Cowboys vs Colts

The blog breaks down the stats for the upcoming Cowboys‑Colts clash. Dallas (3‑5) saw Dak Prescott post 195 passing yards, one TD and a 96.2 rating, but the line allowed four sacks and rookie Javonte Williams managed just 56 yards on 24 carries (2.3 YPC). The receiving trio combined for 144 yards.

Will the 49ers’ history of second-half surges and post-bye dominance lead to the No. 1 seed?

Since 2022 the San Francisco 49ers have become second‑half monsters, posting a 23‑8 record in November and December games (9‑0 in 2022, 7‑2 in 2023, 2‑7 in 2024, 7‑2 in 2025). Their post‑bye performances are equally impressive, with wins over the Chargers (2022), Jaguars (2023), and Titans (2025), highlighted by key plays from Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Talanoa Hufanga. Despite a disappointing 2024 stretch, the 2025 schedule positions the Niners for a strong playoff run and a realistic shot at the No. 1 seed, provided star receiver Mike Evans stays healthy and the defense continues to pressure opponents. The article argues that Shanahan’s team can overcome a few slip‑ups and clinch the top seed.

The Ravens, sitting 4‑5 after a 33‑10 loss to Jacksonville, are unlikely to trade franchise QB Lamar Jackson despite his thumb injury and IR stint, says NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Running back Derrick Henry also dismisses trade rumors. Instead, Baltimore pivots to acquire veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals, a move aimed at stabilizing the QB room after injuries to Jackson, Tyler Huntley and a brief rookie start. Rapoport notes the team is neither in sell nor buy mode, but the Brissett deal should be finalized before the deadline.
