Every trade and signing calls take
301–325 of 1,947
Patrick Mahomes to stay put
Patrick Mahomes isn't going anywhere
Jonathan Taylor to move — “could be next [to be traded]”
They already traded away Nelson and DeForest Buckner, and Jonathan Taylor seems like he could be next if the price is right.
Mac Jones to move — “unlikely that he's moved”
It's unlikely that he's moved, but if you're ranking veteran quarterbacks who could be traded by the deadline, you have to at least mention Jones... it's hard to imagine they'd budge now.
Mac Jones to move — “stays with the 49ers; a trade to Baltimore doesn't seem realistic”
In the coming days, you'll likely hear Mac Jones' name bandied about in connection to Baltimore. It doesn't seem particularly realistic. Kyle Shanahan has said many times he wants to keep Jones... The Ravens would likely need to blow away the 49ers to have any shot at Jones, and that simply hasn't been Baltimore GM Eric DeCosta's M.O.
Harrison Butker to move — “might have just played his final game for the Chiefs”
Harrison Butker might have just played his final game for the Chiefs.
Jonathan Taylor to move — “should be wearing a new uniform by this time next week”
Thankfully, he came away unscathed. He should be wearing a new uniform by this time next week.
Jonathan Taylor to move — “gone this week (traded by the Colts)”
Why are we holding on to Jonathan Taylor? ... I would expect him to be be gone this week.
Lamar Jackson to move — “played his final down for the Ravens”
I've I've seen other people say this as well. Lamar Jackson's played his final down for the Ravens.
Otito Ogbonnia to move to Jacksonville Jaguars
Otito Ogbonnia isn't a flashy name, but he could be exactly what the Jaguars need. ... Ogbonnia, on a one-year deal, could fetch a solid third-day pick. It almost makes too much sense for both parties.
Andrew Billings to move to Jacksonville Jaguars
Roy Lopez and Andrew Billings are the exact type of veterans Arizona should be looking to flip for draft assets. ... Either one could be helpful for Jacksonville.
Grover Stewart to move to Jacksonville Jaguars
Yes, this would be an in-division move, but the Colts are imploding and should happily move any player they can ... Grover Stewart is another name to watch.
Jowon Briggs to move to Jacksonville Jaguars
Jowon Briggs impressed last year but isn't having his best season in 2026, and he's on a one-year deal. ... If they feel stronger about the latter, though, they could get a decent deal.
Roy Lopez to move to Jacksonville Jaguars
Roy Lopez and Andrew Billings are the exact type of veterans Arizona should be looking to flip for draft assets. ... Either one could be helpful for Jacksonville.
Jacob Martin to move — “traded before the 4 p.m. ET deadline on November 10”
it would make sense for the Titans to move him before the 4 p.m. ET deadline on November 10... It would be a surprise if the team doesn't make another move by November 10, and dealing Martin would be a logical course of action.
Khalil Mack to move to Chicago Bears
"Wouldn't be surprised if a Khalil Mack trade was in the offer here. A possible reunion for Mack and the Bears," he added.
Khalil Mack to move — “unloaded by the Chargers at the trade deadline”
We don't expect a fire sale, but we do expect the Chargers to unload players who are on the final year of their deals, and Mr. Mack is in that group.
Jonathan Taylor to stay with Indianapolis Colts
when it comes to the rumors of Denver's interest in Taylor and other backs on the trade block, I'll believe a move when I see it.
George Pickens to move to Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs ... You know who could have made a significant difference for quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the fourth quarter in Week 8? The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Pickens.
George Pickens to move to Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota Vikings ... perhaps Pickens could also help fix the issues on the offensive side of the ball.
George Pickens to move to San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers ... The pairing of the 49ers and Pickens makes too much sense. ... Here is a look at five potential landing spots.
George Pickens to move to Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders trading for Pickens would be a case of taking care of the now and the later.
George Pickens to move to Buffalo Bills
Buffalo Bills ... Allen hasn't had a true WR1 since the 2024 Stefon Diggs trade. Pickens could help him become the league's most efficient passer.
Jonathan Taylor to move to New York Giants
"I would guess he gets traded, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was the Giants who made that move."
Keenan Allen to move — “likely to be moved”
veteran newcomer WR Keenan Allen as someone "likely to be moved."
Josh Downs to move — “traded for a fourth-round pick”
"The Colts want a third-round pick, but I think ultimately they'll get a fourth," Schultz said about Downs' market on The Pivot.
