Lions Could Pivot To Chiefs Corner After Missing On Trade

The Detroit Lions already tried to make one significant cornerback trade this month, and according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler , they should be back on the phone. Fowler wrote in his Week 5 buzz column that "the Lions should make a move for a cornerback," and he pointed to Kansas City's Kristian Fulton as one potential option. Detroit was among the teams that inquired about Joey Porter Jr. before the Steelers traded him to Dallas on September 30 for a 2027 sixth-round pick and a 2028 second-roun...

Jets Pass Rusher Among Names Who Could Get Traded

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler named Jets edge rusher Will McDonald IV among the pass rushers who could attract trade interest in the coming weeks, with New York sitting at 1-3 and the November 10 deadline getting closer. Fowler wrote in his Week 5 buzz column that teams will have interest in Cardinals edge Josh Sweat "as well as many other rushers on teams with losing records," and he listed the Chargers' Khalil Mack, the Jets' McDonald, and the Titans' Jermaine Johnson II as examples. McDonald's Rol...

Arizona Cardinals Star Requests Trade Amid Growing Interest

Arizona says it isn't trading Josh Sweat. Around the league, at least two executives don't buy it. Jason La Canfora of Casino.org spoke with NFL executives for his Week 4 notes and came away with two blunt takes. One general manager told him, "I hear he wants out." A longtime personnel executive went further. "I'd bet he's not there by the deadline." La Canfora also reports Sweat is unhappy with his contract. He expects a run on pass rushers as the November 10 deadline gets closer, whi...

NFL GM Predicts Former Pro Bowl QB Will Be Traded

An NFL general manager has a short answer on Gardner Minshew's future in Arizona. "Gone by the deadline." That's what the GM told Jason La Canfora of Casino.org for his Week 3 diary. The column came out last week, but the situation around Minshew has only gotten more interesting since. La Canfora didn't name the GM, and he didn't report that any team has called. Arizona Has A Reason To Move Him Jacoby Brissett is the starter. Through the first three games, he was completing 70.1 perc...

Colts & Cardinals Potentially Talking Blockbuster Trade

Adam Schefter didn't say the Colts called about Marvin Harrison Jr. But he didn't shut the idea down either. Appearing Monday on The Pat McAfee Show, Schefter was asked whether Indianapolis is one of the teams calling Arizona. "Who's calling on Marvin Harrison Jr.? Colts, Colts are calling? Get him back?" McAfee asked. "Wouldn't that make a lot of sense?" Schefter answered. McAfee took it as a yes. Schefter never confirmed or denied it, and there's no report that the Colts have made ...

Kansas City Chiefs Trying To Reunite With Tyreek Hill

The Chiefs reportedly didn't wait long to call Tyreek Hill. According to The Athletic's Michael Silver, Kansas City reached out to Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, on Sunday night. That was hours after receivers Tyquan Thornton and Rashee Rice both got hurt in the Chiefs' 30-27 win over Las Vegas. Silver reports the Chiefs are "very interested" in signing Hill, citing several high-ranking organizational sources. He also reports the team was already interested in a reunion before Sunday. On ...

Longtime Colts Starter Emerging As Trade Candidate

The others are Steelers pass rusher Alex Highsmith, Commanders tackle Daron Payne, Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux, Browns receiver Jerry Jeudy, and Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. Jones kept...

Packers Think Star Defender Suffered Season-Ending Injury

The Green Bay Packers beat Tampa Bay 17-14 on Sunday to improve to 2-2. The win came with a cost. Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper was carted off in the third quarter, and the Packers ruled him out with an Achilles injury. No one touched him on the play, which is always the most concerning. Cooper took one step forward on a third-and-8 snap, fell to the turf, and grabbed at his ankle. A couple of minutes later, he was driven off the field. Packers LB Edgerrin Cooper believed to have suffered a...

Steelers Could Trade $68 Million Pass Rusher

The Pittsburgh Steelers just traded starting cornerback Joey Porter Jr. to Dallas.  According to The Athletic's Jonathan Jones , they might not be finished dealing from the defense. Jones named Alex Highsmith among six players he's keeping an eye on ahead of the November 10 trade deadline, after what he described as shaking down sources around the league this week.  "After shaking down sources this week, I'm keeping an eye on a number of players: Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith, Commande...

Commanders Star Drawing Trade Buzz Ahead Of Deadline

Daron Payne's name keeps coming up in trade conversations, and this week it came up from two directions at once. ESPN's Dan Graziano put the Commanders defensive tackle at the top of his early trade deadline candidate list on October 2.  The Athletic's Jonathan Jones then independently named Payne among six players he's watching after talking to sources around the league. Two Insiders, Same Name Graziano's reasoning centers on the contract. "His contract voids at the end of the season...

Tennessee Titans Could Trade 4-Time 1,000-Yard Rusher

Tony Pollard is having one of the better individual seasons on an otherwise rough Tennessee Titans team, and that production is why his name is back in trade speculation again. ESPN's Dan Graziano named Pollard among his early trade deadline candidates for the second straight year.  "The Titans have not looked good," Graziano wrote. "Pollard sort of has, rushing for 173 yards at 4.6 per carry. Running back is a position where teams endure significant attrition throughout the season, and P...

Chargers Could Trade Former Defensive Player Of The Year

The Los Angeles Chargers signed Khalil Mack back this offseason expecting a real playoff push.  Three weeks in, his name is already showing up on trade boards instead. ESPN's Dan Graziano included Mack among 10 players who could be moved before the November 10 deadline in his latest trade preview.  "The Chargers being 0-3 is one of the big surprises of the early part of the season," Graziano wrote. "They expected to be high-level contenders and therefore are not of the mindset to be ...

Lions Linked To Trade For $48 Million Cornerback

The Detroit Lions spent weeks connected to Joey Porter Jr. before the Steelers sent him to Dallas instead, and the cornerback need that drove that pursuit hasn't gone anywhere. A to Z Sports' Mike Payton laid out five names Detroit could realistically pivot to, and Buccaneers corner Zyon McCollum topped the list as the player who could offer the most long-term value.  "McCollum could step right into Detroit's secondary and give them a long-term answer opposite D.J. Reed," Payton wrote. ...

Report: Cardinals Could Trade Veteran QB Before Deadline

The Arizona Cardinals' quarterback room has quietly become one of the more interesting situations to watch ahead of the November 10 trade deadline. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano addressed it in their Week 4 buzz column, answering the question of whether more quarterbacks get traded beyond J.J. McCarthy this season. "True! A lot of these situations are going to change drastically by midseason," Graziano wrote. "Jacoby Brissett could struggle and prompt the Cardinals to want to see thi...

NFL Exec Proposes Blockbuster 1-For-1 Brian Thomas Jr. Trade

An NFL executive's idea for fixing Marvin Harrison Jr.'s trade market now has a proposed trade attached to it. NFL Blue Book's Charles Robinson canvassed seven front offices about Harrison's value, and most landed around a Day 2 pick.  One GM saw it differently. "He is a player that is getting judged relative to what he was supposed to be, while people are losing sight of the fact that he is still a useful player," the GM told Robinson.  That executive pointed to the Titans trading...

Report: 49ers Set Massive Asking Price For Mac Jones Trade

Mac Jones isn't walking out of San Francisco cheap. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano dug into the quarterback trade market this week. "It would take real draft capital, perhaps a Day 2 pick, to get in the door on Jones," Fowler wrote.

"The 49ers have said they aren't interested in dealing him, and I believe it would take a...

NFLBlueBook's Charles Robinson canvassed seven NFL front offices this week and got concrete evaluations of what the Arizona Cardinals receiver would actually cost in a trade.

New Trade Landing Spot Floated For Cardinals' Marvin Harrison Jr.

Marvin Harrison Jr.'s disappointing start in Arizona has opened up speculation about his future. Insider Albert Breer thinks the New England Patriots could be worth watching if the price is right.
