Every trade and signing calls take
126–150 of 1,947
Trey McBride to stay with Arizona Cardinals
Denver would like to acquire a veteran tight end before Tuesday’s trade deadline, but that tight end will apparently not be Arizona’s Trey McBride. ... the Cardinals, who told the Broncos they’re not interested in trading McBride
Taylor Rapp to move to Buffalo Bills
His desire to sign players he knows well makes Rapp a realistic option to fill some depth at safety. ... a reunion should only be on the table if the Bills strike out at the trade deadline.
Khalil Mack to stay with Los Angeles Chargers
Now, Mack doesn't have a no-trade clause or anything like that, so the Chargers can deal him without his consent, but because of the level of respect they have for the future Hall of Famer, we don't think that's going to happen.
Jonathan Taylor to move — “might be his last game as a Colt in Lucas Oil Stadium”
And, you know, this might be Jonathan Taylor's last game as a colt in Lucas Oil Stadium.
Zion Johnson to stay with Cleveland Browns
Trading Howard or Johnson away after just half a season on the team doesn't make much sense because of the heavy dead cap hits the Browns would incur for next year.
Tytus Howard to stay with Cleveland Browns
Trading Howard or Johnson away after just half a season on the team doesn't make much sense because of the heavy dead cap hits the Browns would incur for next year.
Breece Hall to move — “could get traded”
the Jonathan Taylor of all of this, I think Brees Hall could get traded.
Khalil Mack to stay put
Chargers’ Most Likely Trade Deadline Move is More Self-Inflicted Wounds ... Just don’t tell the Chargers, who seem adamant that nothing major should change ... Hanging onto Mack would be another misstep, even if the trade return wouldn’t be that high.
Brandon Aiyuk to move — “a release of his rights could be on the table”
When he's reinstated by the league, the 49ers will have to trade or release him. San Francisco has failed to trade him in the past, meaning a release of his rights could be on the table after the $13 million problem is settled.
Brandon Aiyuk to move — “will never play for the 49ers again”
The only certainty is Aiyuk will never play for the 49ers again.
Jonathan Taylor to move — “gets traded”
They're open to it. Teams are interested. Generally, that leads to a trade. So I'll probably lean that way.
Derrick Henry to stay with Baltimore Ravens
I feel like the Ravens are more buyers than sellers... I just don't think they want to sell. And considering first year head coach with a lot of security and a really talented roster, like, I don't think I would sell either if I was them.
Ladd McConkey to move to Pittsburgh Steelers
Trade 1 Steelers receive: Ladd McConkey, 2027 fifth-round pick Chargers receive: Roman Wilson, 2027 second-round pick
Jerry Jeudy to move to Pittsburgh Steelers
Trade 3 Steelers receive: Jerry Jeudy Browns receive: 2027 fourth-round pick
Roman Wilson to move to Los Angeles Chargers
Chargers receive: Roman Wilson, 2027 second-round pick ... if the Chargers want a replacement for McConkey, it would likely be Wilson
Josh Downs to move to Pittsburgh Steelers
Trade 4 Steelers receive: Josh Downs Colts receive: 2027 third-round pick
Brian Thomas Jr. to move to Pittsburgh Steelers
Trade 2 Steelers receive: Brian Thomas Jr., 2027 fifth-round pick Jaguars receive: 2027 second-round pick, 2027 sixth-round pick
Jacoby Brissett to move to Baltimore Ravens
You're bringing in Jacoby Brissett. I expect that trade to be finalized today or tomorrow, maybe finalized by the time you're watching this.
Derrick Brown to move to Jacksonville Jaguars
My ultimate guess is they add Derrick Brown.
Ji'Ayir Brown to move — “likely to leave in free agency after this year”
Brown is likely to leave in free agency after this year, and the team does not have plans to extend the other two, either.
Jessie Bates to stay with Atlanta Falcons
unless they lose again in Week 9 and things break against them in Week 9, they might not be sellers. This could be a dream addition, but not a realistic one.
Keenan Allen to move — “last game with the Colts”
Sunday could be Keenan Allen's last game with the Colts, as his name has come up in trade conversations.
Brandon Aiyuk to move — “not coming back”
No. I don't think there's coming back from saying what he said publicly over and over and over for months... So I don't think there's any returning.
Brandon Aiyuk to move — “probably cut him”
And Ayuk, what's going on with that? I think they're just gonna say you're not allowed to to be here anymore. I think they probably cut him.
Brian Thomas Jr. to move — “may have been his final game with the team”
Thomas has been the subject to trade rumors, and this may have been his final game with the team.
