The Denver Broncos, 6-2 and leading the AFC West, are eyeing a running back upgrade before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. While Indianapolis Colts star Jonathan Taylor appears attractive, insiders say the price could be a first‑round pick plus multiple mid‑rounders, mirroring the McCaffrey deal. Former NFL insider Jason La Canfora argues Baltimore Ravens veteran Derrick Henry is a better fit: he matches Sean Payton‑inspired offensive schemes, pairs well with Bo Nix in pistol sets, and carries only an $11 million base salary for one season versus Taylor’s $25 million over two years. Henry’s five Pro Bowls and locker‑room leadership add extra value, making him the Broncos’ preferred target if Taylor falls through.
Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson announces a mysterious neurological injury that will likely keep him out indefinitely. After missing Week 8 versus the Miami Dolphins, he disclosed a sudden health crisis involving unexplained symptoms that required a multi‑day hospital stay and extensive testing, though doctors still lack a clear cause. The condition has impacted his strength, coordination, and motor function, sidelining his 203 yards and one touchdown from six games. Coach Mike Vrabel must now rely on Rhamondre Stevenson while Henderson works with neurologists and physical therapists to focus on recovery.
The 49ers face three major threats against the Raiders in Week 9: Kirk Cousins, Brock Bowers and Maxx Crosby. Here's how San Francisco can contain them.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice, a Super Bowl LVIII champion, files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the Northern District of Texas on Nov. 4. Court papers show about $677,000 in assets versus more than $3.2 million in liabilities, including roughly $2.1 million tied to legal fees from a March 2024 high‑speed crash that led to felony convictions, probation and a six‑game NFL suspension. Notably, Rice lists his championship ring (valued at $160,000) and a Mercedes among his assets. The filing highlights the financial fallout from his legal troubles while he remains under his rookie contract.
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.
New Raiders head coach/offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and star tight end Brock Bowers have clicked instantly, with Kubiak calling the 2024 No. 13 overall pick a “football robot from heaven.” Despite missing the first two games with a knee injury, Bowers already boasts 41 receptions for 547 yards, ranking second among NFL tight ends in catches and leading the position with a 13.3‑yard average. On a 15‑game pace he could finish with 102 catches, 1,366 yards and 12 touchdowns, eclipsing his rookie record of 112 catches. Their partnership is set to drive even more explosive numbers.

During Thursday Night Football, the Jacksonville Jaguars blew out the Baltimore Ravens 33-10, prompting legendary announcer Al Michaels to pause the action for a four‑minute "bedtime story" about the team's first head coach, Tom Coughlin. Michaels recounted how Coughlin, then Boston College coach, mistakenly thought a call from a "Jaguar" was about a car before learning it was from the franchise's COO, David Seldin, leading to his interview and eventual hiring. The tale highlighted Coughlin’s early reluctance, his rapid rise to the Jaguars' inaugural season, and his later success, including two Super Bowl wins with the Giants. The story unfolds amid a key interception by Jaguars cornerback Jourdan Lewis.
The Steelers' defense, long criticized for its high payroll, finally lives up to its price tag under first‑year coordinator Patrick Graham. In the past 19 quarters the unit has surrendered just three touchdowns, dominates the run game, and generates relentless pressure on quarterbacks. Graham’s schematics appear to be clicking, turning Pittsburgh into one of the league’s most formidable defenses midway through the season.
Ahead of their Nov. 10 clash with New England, the Green Bay Packers are being tipped for a surprise trade for Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore. Sports Illustrated analysts suggest the Patriots could move Barmore—currently on a four‑year, $84 million deal—for a fourth‑round pick, a price the Packers might find attractive. Barmore has posted 3.5 sacks and 10 pressures in seven games this season and logged 50 pressures last year, offering a boost to Green Bay’s defensive front alongside the returning Micah Parsons. While still speculative, the suggestion adds intrigue as the NFL trade deadline looms.
There is speculation that the 49ers might have interest in Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. It's unlikely, but there's a way in which it could work.

In this edition of Arrowhead Pride’s “Let’s Argue” series, Mark Gunnels argues the Chiefs should trade for Jets wideout Garrett Wilson to give Patrick Mahomes a true No. 1 receiver and shore up the offensive line, rather than overhauling the entire roster. He notes the Jets may demand two first‑round picks due to dead‑money concerns, but stresses the move could keep Kansas City in the Super Bowl conversation while seeding is a bigger worry than playoff qualification, which the team currently holds an 84% chance of making.
Ranking the Las Vegas Raiders' position groups at the halfway point in the 2026 NFL season.
Dominic Smith entered the 2026 Braves on a modest split contract after a solid 2025 with the Giants, but his season proved uneven. He appeared in 108 games, posting a .253/.311/.383 slash line, .304 wOBA and 9 homers, yet his fWAR slipped to -0.5. After limited use in September, Smith was thrust into the NL Wild Card Series, starting Game 3 and delivering key hits that helped Atlanta advance. While his early‑season promise faded and contact quality waned, his clutch postseason performance gave him a brief spotlight in an otherwise underwhelming year.
After a Week 8 bye, the New Orleans Saints land the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The article highlights two first‑round candidates: Indiana wideout Charlie Becker, praised for clutch catches and playmaking ability, and cornerback Kelley Jones, noted for his length and fit in a potential man‑heavy scheme. With WR Jordyn Tyson already selected and veteran Devaughn Vele possibly trade‑blocked, Becker could become a valuable WR2. Meanwhile, the Saints’ secondary struggles make Jones an attractive upgrade if they stick with Kellen Moore’s defense.
