Bears rumors: Insider wants trade reunion to ‘just happen already,’ but it’s not Khalil Mack

Ahead of the NFL trade deadline, a ClutchPoints insider says the Chicago Bears should trade for former defensive back Nahshon Wright, not Khalil Mack. Wright, who posted a breakout 2025 season with Chicago—five interceptions, eight takeaways and a Pro Bowl—has struggled in New York, appearing in only three games on special teams after signing a $5.5‑million one‑year deal. Insider Josina Anderson argues a Bears‑Wright reunion would be mutually beneficial and urges the move to happen quickly.

Commanders’ Dan Quinn disgusted by loss to Rams as season goes down tubes

Washington’s season sputters as the Commanders fall 20‑13 to the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 8, 2026, slipping to 5‑5. Head coach Dan Quinn lambasts the team’s “complementary football,” citing only three points from fourth‑down stops and a crucial fumble that killed a late‑game tying drive. The Commanders mustered 313 offensive yards but went 3‑of‑12 on third down, while the Rams racked up 343 yards and converted all three fourth‑down attempts. Quinn, in his third year, stresses the need for all three phases to click as the division leader heads to Landover.

After surrendering 230 rushing yards one week and 154 the previous, GM Nolan Teasley is exploring options beyond offense, with names like Grover Stewart, Davon Godchaux, Nathan Shepherd, Christian Barmore and Bobby Brown III circulating.

Chiefs’ Andy Reid doesn’t want to talk about Harrison Butker right now

The Kansas City Chiefs improve to 6-2 after a 35-12 win over the New York Jets, but kicker Harrison Butker’s woes continue—he missed his seventh field goal of the season, a career‑high total after just eight games. Head coach Andy Reid refuses to discuss the issue in the post‑game press conference, saying he’ll address it later in the week and isn’t ready to make any decisions now. While Butker remains perfect on extra points (95.5%), his inconsistency has led the Chiefs to add former Ravens star Justin Tucker to the practice squad as a backup. The team now turns its focus to a road matchup with the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10.

Patrick Mahomes gets ‘sore’ prediction from Chiefs’ Andy Reid after shaking off elbow injury vs. Jets

The win improves the Chiefs to 6‑2, and they next travel to face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is ready for anything as uncertain trade deadline looms

The Philadelphia Eagles may reshuffle their roster ahead of the NFL trade deadline, with tight end Dallas Goedert potentially on the move. Goedert tells The Athletic’s Zach Berman he’s focused on the present and isn’t worried about a trade, noting a recent “good conversation” with GM Howie Roseman but acknowledging that “anything can change.” A possible destination floated is the Seattle Seahawks, who need a reliable underneath target for Sam Darnold and run a TE‑heavy scheme. With two Super Bowl appearances and a 2024 championship under his belt, Goedert remains a key physical presence for Philly, but his future hangs in the balance.
