Every trade and signing calls take
201–225 of 1,947
Riq Woolen to move to Chicago Bears
An available corner such as the Eagles' Riq Woolen for a Day 3 pick could make sense.
Mike Sainristil to stay with Washington Commanders
Washington's Mike Sainristil is a name that has circulated this week, though I don't get the sense the Commanders plan to trade him.
Riq Woolen to move — “more likely to be dealt”
only Woolen is on the final year of his contract, which makes him more likely to be dealt.
George Pickens to move — “Cowboys should trade him / shop him around”
They’ll be better off trading away a few players, including Pickens. ... It’s time to waive the white flag on 2026 and shop around Pickens ... Manzano’s view: Fact
Danielle Hunter to move — “Texans should trade him rather than hold onto him”
The Texans need to hold onto edge rusher Danielle Hunter ... The Texans can gain a draft pick and create some cap space by trading Hunter ... Manzano’s view: Fiction
Kyler Murray to move — “Vikings should ditch him”
It’s time the Vikings ditch Kyler Murray ... Manzano’s view: Fact
Garrett Wilson to stay with New York Jets
the Jets should keep their best offensive player ... He needs to stick around ... Manzano’s view: Fiction
- PendingLarry RuppTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Byron Young to move — “Roseman could net another late-round pick”
Roseman could net another late-round pick, while opening up playing time for second-year pro Ty Robinson.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Nov 4, 2026 - PendingLarry RuppTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Nolan Smith to move — “expendable at the trade deadline, with an asking price of a Day 2 pick”
That leaves Smith expendable, especially considering his value... so expect an asking price of a Day 2 pick.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Nov 4, 2026 - PendingLarry RuppTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Jonathan Greenard to stay with Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia committed over $100 million to defensive end Jonathan Greenard, so he isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Fred Johnson to move — “will likely only require a seventh-round pick to acquire him”
Johnson has proven he can step in at a moment's notice and will likely only require a seventh-round pick to acquire him.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Nov 4, 2026 - PendingNick FarabaughTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Asante Samuel Jr. to move — “gonna leave after this year”
whether you have to make a tough decision on Jalen Ramsey, whether you are move... You know, Samuel's gonna leave after this year.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Nov 4, 2026 Tony Pollard to stay put
Overall, trading Pollard before the November 10 deadline wouldn't be a surprising move from general manager Mike Borgonzi, but keeping him to support Ward and help the offense afloat for the rest of the season looks like the more viable avenue right now for Tennessee.
Davis Mills to move to Minnesota Vikings
Texans QB Davis Mills could be an interesting trade target for the Vikings ... the 2-5 Texans would likely be willing to trade him for a mid-round pick rather than let him walk after this year.
Calvin Ridley to move — “should be moved no matter the return”
However, Ridley should be moved no matter the return, save for something truly outlandish... Trade Ridley to a willing contender in need of playmaking help (see the Kansas City Chiefs, for example) wipe your hands, and press on.
- PendingMarty HurneyTrade and Signing Calls2026 season
Ronnie Stanley to stay put
I asked a few people about his worth, including longtime NFL GM Marty Hurney on “The Daily Flock Show,” and given the need for tackles (hello Kansas City), they believe he could bring back maybe a fourth-round pick in return.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Nov 4, 2026 Deshaun Watson to stay with Cleveland Browns
As much as Browns fans might want to see the team make a splash before the trade deadline, options aren't really that great out there... there's a good chance the Browns will ride 2026 out with Watson
Amik Robertson to move — “the Commanders will likely cut him after the year”
Robertson is signed through the 2027 season, but an acquiring team could save $7M by moving on from him. So, the Commanders will likely cut him after the year.
Jermaine Johnson II to move to San Francisco 49ers
Jermaine Johnson, Tennessee Titans ... So, a trade makes sense. Raheem Morris has changed the defense, but Johnson is still a strong fit.
Rashod Bateman to move to San Francisco 49ers
Selling Bateman now makes sense. His speed in the 49ers would be a bit of a missing piece right now, and he might not cost the team too much to acquire.
Kingsley Suamataia to move to San Francisco 49ers
Suamataia is a name to watch after being benched by the Kansas City Chiefs twice this season ... the 49ers might need to add a player to get Suamataia back.
Amik Robertson to move to San Francisco 49ers
He replaced Jack Jones on the Las Vegas Raiders last year and could replace Jones again this year if the 49ers trade for him.
Saquon Barkley to stay with Philadelphia Eagles
First, Barkley does not seem likely to be traded.
Jonathan Taylor to move — “the Colts move on from him (traded)”
It still appears likely the Colts move on from Jonathan Taylor , which would potentially open up a lead role for McGowan.
Josh Downs to move to Kansas City Chiefs
It's widely expected that Kansas City will be aggressive in adding a receiver, likely Downs or another option on the market.
