Every trade and signing calls take
1–25 of 1,947
Sam Darnold to move — “traded for a first-round pick; a second plus is the minimum”
I think we can pull a first for our Sam too... As long as Darnold plays solid football post-bye, I think a second plus is the minimum.
Kayvon Thibodeaux to move — “moves on in free agency”
Moose, my gut says they don't re-sign Thibodeaux. ... So I think Thibs moves on in free agency.
Najee Harris to move to Dallas Cowboys
"Best fits: Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots." ... Harris could be a solid complement to Javonte Williams in the Cowboys' ground game.
Najee Harris to move to New England Patriots
"Best fits: Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots."
Najee Harris to move to Dallas Cowboys
if he's going to be out any longer than that, we could see a Harris-Cowboys union in the near future.
Daiyan Henley to move to Denver Broncos
Henley is in a contract year, so if the Chargers don't find a way to re-sign him, the Broncos could very well circle back in 2027 free agency... it wouldn’t surprise me to see the Broncos make a run at him as a free agent next offseason.
Justin Herbert to stay with Los Angeles Chargers
with the with the Herbert thing, like, I've gotten zero sense that they would move on from him at all. And I know when teams called k. It was like nonstarter. Right? Like, Herbert is here. We like our guy.
DK Metcalf to move — “this is his last year with the Steelers”
I would bet you this is his last year with the Steelers. That's what I would bet.
Brandon Aiyuk to stay put
Brandon Ayuk, I think the Niners are gonna keep him until the last second just to be petty, and then they'll drop him.
Brennan Presley to move — “Rams go out and sign him as their guy with Puka out”
this is gonna be my prediction as the Rams do out... Go out and sign Brennan Presley as their guy with Buca out
DeMarvion Overshown to move — “his days with the Cowboys are numbered”
As he prepares to hit free agency in 2027, it's looking like his days with the Cowboys are numbered.
Marquise Brown to move to Pittsburgh Steelers
Funnily enough, Brown could make his former team pay if he signs in Pittsburgh. ... The Steelers could repeat that move once again by signing another formerly productive pass-catcher to the roster in the back half of the season.
Marquise Brown to move — “expected to land with a playoff contender”
Brown ... is expected to land with a playoff contender.
Dominic Zvada to stay with New York Giants
Is he on his way out? It does not sound like it. John Harbaugh is keeping the faith
Lamar Jackson to stay with Baltimore Ravens
If you were to trade him or cut him, which you're not gonna cut him... Trading them in my mind doesn't make a whole lot of sense going into it
Brandon Aiyuk to stay with San Francisco 49ers
However, with Aiyuk on the Commissioner's Exempt List, the 49ers are likely to hold on to him for the next two weeks.
Paulson Adebo to move — “could be a cap casualty next offseason”
Adebo could be a cap casualty next offseason
Daiyan Henley to stay with Los Angeles Chargers
He is expected to play the rest of the season in Los Angeles.
Khalid Kareem to stay with San Francisco 49ers
He will also be easy to bring back to the practice squad.
Khalil Mack to stay with Los Angeles Chargers
Instead, he'll be riding it out with the Chargers, who will need the miracle of all miracles to make the playoffs.
- PendingDaniel FisherTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Taylen Green to stay with Cleveland Browns
and intends to keep Green in the quarterback room
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Nov 12, 2026 Jalen Hurts to stay with Philadelphia Eagles
do the Eagles go with a full rebuild and dump Hurts and Barkley after this season? And the easy answer to that, Joey, I believe, is no... It's just hard for me to see this particular offseason being the end of the road.
Matt Milano to move to Dallas Cowboys
Moton suggests the Cowboys sign ex-Buffalo Bills Pro Bowl linebacker Matt Milano.
Jaylon Johnson to move — “likely going to be cut in the offseason”
If the Bears cornerback doesn't rebound in a big way in the second half of the season, he's likely going to be cut in the offseason.
Brandon Aiyuk to move to Los Angeles Rams
At the front of that line will likely be the Los Angeles Rams... if the Seahawks don’t get involved, there’s a good chance the Rams get him.
