Every trade and signing calls take
51–75 of 1,043
Isaiah Hodgins to move to Pittsburgh Steelers
It appears as though a veteran wide receiver is making his way back to the Pittsburgh Steelers... the Steelers had still been in need of proven receiver depth, and that's exactly what Hodgins could provide this season.
Bryce Young to move to Carolina Panthers
Bryce Young lit up the Falcons and he's off to a good start. He's going to make them pay him to be their long-term guy at this rate.
- PendingBen ArthurTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Jayden Daniels to move to Washington Commanders
The best-case scenario may be picking up the fifth-year option in his rookie contract in the spring, and revisiting the extension conversation after the 2027 season.
Jayden DanielsWashington Commanders
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 22, 2026 Johnny Hekker to move to Minnesota Vikings
Now we're entering the last week of September, and there's a decent chance that the Bothwell, WA native could make his way back to Minnesota. He's still an unsigned free agent... don't be surprised if the franchise isn't finished with Hekker just yet.
DK Metcalf to move — “could very well end sooner rather than later”
as Metcalf's Pittsburgh career continues to fizzle (and could very well end sooner rather than later if this keeps up)
Justin Herbert to stay with Los Angeles Chargers
Not gonna happen. Jim loves this guy more than life itself. It ain't gonna happen
- PendingVito ChircoTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. to move — “the window is likely already closing on his time in Motown”
And sad but true, the window is likely already closing on the Missouri product's time in Motown.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 21, 2026 Deshaun Watson to move — “inevitable divorce between him and the Browns (contract voided with a post-June 1 designation at the start of the new league year)”
There's a running clock for Cleveland and their time with Watson... That's when they can void his contract with a post-June 1 designation and kick him to the curb... Every win and glimmer of offensive production with Watson is fool's gold that only delays the inevitable divorce between him and the Browns.
Joey Porter Jr. to move to Detroit Lions
Porter is the premier name on the trade market through the first two weeks of the NFL season... The Lions have been linked to Porter over the past couple of weeks, as it's a natural partnership.
Mike Jackson to move to Detroit Lions
Like Fulton, Jackson is in the final year of his current contract and could be a good rental option... if they begin to struggle he could become available near the deadline.
Tyson Campbell to move to Detroit Lions
there is a thought that Cleveland could be looking to add draft capital which would make veterans like him expendable. He's a player to watch as we get closer to the trade deadline.
Kristian Fulton to move to Detroit Lions
Fulton has some upside to potentially help a team like the Lions, and he's on an expiring contract so it wouldn't be a hefty commitment for Holmes to potentially acquire him in a deal.
Jayden Daniels to move to Washington Commanders
with both eligible for new contracts and the new-money average per year on those deals likely approaching $70 million ... Don’t get me wrong: I do think both guys will get paid.
Caleb Williams to move to Chicago Bears
with both eligible for new contracts and the new-money average per year on those deals likely approaching $70 million ... Don’t get me wrong: I do think both guys will get paid.
Aaron Rodgers to move — “about to retire after this season”
they have a quarterback who looks like he's 42 years old and is about to retire after this season
Alex Singleton to move — “contract will keep him in Denver this season as long as he is healthy”
Unfortunately, Singleton's contract will keep him in Denver this season as long as he is healthy, but it's past time to move on.
Joey Porter Jr. to move to Detroit Lions
For the right compensation, the Steelers wouldn't have trouble finding teams interested in trading for Porter. The Lions, for example, could be a potential landing spot for Porter after they allowed 71 points during their first two games.
- PendingJacob PunturiTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Joey Porter Jr. to move — “the Steelers trade away Porter Jr. for a second-round draft pick”
The most likely outcome currently is the Steelers trade away Porter Jr. ... Given the circumstances, the Steelers can reasonably ask for a second-round draft pick, and nothing more.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 19, 2026 Paulson Adebo to move — “will not be on this team in 2027”
Do I think Adebo will be on this team in 2027? No. The fact that they didn’t touch his contract to clear space pretty much tells us all we need to know.
- PendingAri MeirovTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Joey Porter Jr. to move — “willing to play it out without a new contract”
“I think he’s willing to play it out. I just don’t think he wants to be in Pittsburgh anymore... If they do trade him, my understanding is a contract will not be necessary… I don’t think a contract will be a must over here.”
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 18, 2026 Joey Porter Jr. to stay put
And it’s possible Porter will continue to not play until the Steelers trade him for whatever they can get.
Marvin Harrison Jr. to move — “could get traded”
I think he could get traded. I really do... And if you're the Cardinals, you still need assets.
Tyreek Hill to move to Kansas City Chiefs
It's 2026 and he's going to be a chief. I believe. By the end of this year? Yeah, around Halloween.
Joey Porter Jr. to move — “more chance they trade him away than they give him a giant top of the market contract”
I honestly think there's more chance they trade him away than they give him a giant top of the market contract.
Deshaun Watson to move — “a parting of ways between the two pretty soon”
I I think you'll probably see a parting of ways between the the two here pretty soon.
