- PendingDaniel PopperTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Donte Jackson to move to Cincinnati Bengals
Daniel Popper of The Athletic recently listed the Bengals as a potential trade fit for Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Donte Jackson, who's in the final year of his contract.
Donte JacksonCincinnati Bengals
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Nov 1, 2026 - PendingZach PressnellTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Donte Jackson to move to Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals need another veteran option to complement their defense, and he's the perfect choice if they're looking to swing a trade ahead of the trade deadline.
Donte JacksonCincinnati Bengals
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Nov 1, 2026 Maxx Crosby to move — “may be traded again”
The simple reality is that teams that want Crosby will keep calling the Raiders. If the Raiders lose the next two games before the deadline and fall to 3-6, maybe they'll decide to do what they already decided to do in March... For now, they have "no plans." We now wait to see whether, over the next nine days, their plans change.
- PendingMike D'AbateTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Kayvon Thibodeaux to stay put
As several NFL pundits continue to weigh the pros and cons of trading him before the Nov. 10 deadline, Thibodeaux's recent production may ultimately keep him in a Giants uniform through the remainder of the 2026 season.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Oct 31, 2026 Calvin Ridley to move — “a near-future trade”
If Ridley does play in Week 8, an increase in snaps poses him well for a near-future trade. ... nobody has a better opportunity on paper to audition for their potential next team than Calvin Ridley.
Garrett Wilson to stay with New York Jets
there's "no way" the franchise is moving wideout Garrett Wilson before the Nov. 10 deadline, according to ESPN.
Jonathan Taylor to move to New York Giants
With the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline coming up, it would not be surprising if the Giants go all out to give Harbaugh the running back he wants... it will be interesting to see whether the Giants can work with the Colts to give Harbaugh his wish.
Maxx Crosby to stay with Las Vegas Raiders
We tend to believe Crosby isn't going anywhere, but after seeing the Simmons deal go down, and knowing the sense of urgency Jones has expressed in recent years, never say never.
Garrett Wilson to stay with New York Jets
so it's possible someone could change the Jets' minds but, for now, Wilson appears set to stay put.
- PendingIsaiah PintoTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Tony Pollard to move — “moved before the November 10 deadline”
if the Titans are truly looking to get younger and build more draft capital, expect Pollard to be moved before the November 10 deadline
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Oct 31, 2026 Ladd McConkey to stay with Los Angeles Chargers
At wideout, trading Ladd McConkey isn't realistic. He's the centerpiece of a depth chart rebuild there.
Khalil Mack to move — “traded before the deadline”
everyone seems to agree that the Chargers will trade Khalil Mack before the deadline
Quentin Johnston to move — “obvious-feeling departure for the former first-round pick in the near future”
Not as likely, though just as smart, would be the Chargers trading away Quentin Johnston, getting anything in return for the obvious-feeling departure for the former first-round pick in the near future.
TreVeyon Henderson to move to Minnesota Vikings
His declining role with the Pats could make him available in a trade... Still, for what would likely amount to a mid-round pick, the Vikings could add a bit of juice to their hum-drum backfield.
Derwin James to move to Buffalo Bills
One move that could not only help Buffalo, but would also be one of the best possible traded at the deadline, according to Vinnie Iyer of The Sporting News, would be adding Derwin James in a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Derwin James to move to Buffalo Bills
the Chargers might ask for at least one early Day 2 pick, and with Buffalo typically selecting later in rounds, they would need to sweeten the pot with a conditional pick in 2028... 2027 second-round pick / 2028 fourth-round pick (conditional)
Jerry Jeudy to stay with Cleveland Browns
I'm told that the Browns don't plan to trade Judy... So I could see Judy sticking around.
DeVonta Smith to move — “would be a major surprise if moved; stays”
We talk about Seki Bonner, Devonte Smith. That'd be a major surprise.
Maxx Crosby to stay with Las Vegas Raiders
I was told Crosby does not at all wanna be traded. He wants to be there in Vegas... So I'd be surprised if they move Crosby
Christian Barmore to move — “could be moved/traded before the November 10 trade deadline”
there is a player the Patriots could move that would make sense for the construction of New England's roster... If the Patriots choose to upgrade at any other position like guard or wide receiver before the November 10 trade deadline, then Barmore may be a valuable piece to lower the price of their payment.
John Michael Schmitz to move to Green Bay Packers
Why not see if the Green Bay Packers would be interested in acquiring center John Michael Schmitz in exchange for a draft pick?
- PendingTyler ReedTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Sam LaPorta to move — “A trade for LaPorta is unlikely”
A trade for LaPorta is unlikely. However, if the Bengals want to go all-in, it couldn't hurt to ask if there is a market for the talented tight end.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Oct 30, 2026 Luke Schoonmaker to move — “getting traded even if Dallas doesn't wave the white flag on this season”
We could see Schoonmaker getting traded even if Dallas doesn't wave the white flag on this season.
Broderick Jones to move — “could find a suitor for Jones”
it's possible Dallas could find a suitor for Jones to regain the late-round pick the team gave up as part of the trade
George Pickens to move to Kansas City Chiefs
A team like the Kansas City Chiefs might be willing to pay a hefty price for a wide receiver like Pickens who would instantly be the No. 1 in Andy Reid's offense.
