Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reported the Jaguars made a "significant" offer for Jets EDGE Will McDonald IV before turning their attention elsewhwere and ultimately adding safety Jessie Bates III and defensive tackle Jordan Davis. McDonald has requested a trade and played just 24 snaps Sunday, but ESPN's Rich Cimini believes it's "unlikely" he gets dealt today. GM Darren Mougey is reportedly high on the talented pass rusher.

Cimini did not rule out other possible deals, though.

Sam LaPorta, who's in the final year of his rookie deal, has been trying to work out a new long-term deal with the Lions. However, that hasn't happened just yet, and now, teams have been calling to check in to see if the Lions might be willing to part ways with their star tight end. 

According to ESPN, teams have gotten the impression that the Lions aren't looking to trade LaPorta. He's a key part of the Lions offense and it would be mildly surprising if he did get traded, but if someone were to make a blockbuster offer to Detroit, that could make things interesting. 

Here's what we know about the Jonathan Taylor situation so far: The Colts are not actively looking to trade Taylor, but a deal could happen if they get an offer that blows them away. 

So what exactly would it take for a team to pry Taylor away from the Colts? According to NFL Network, they want something in the "Christian McCaffrey realm" that include a "two, a three, a four and more." 

Back in 2022, the 49ers sent a second-round pick, a third-rounder, a fourth-rounder and a future fifth-round pick to Carolina to make the McCaffrey deal happen. 

Basically, it's going to take a blockbuster offer to land Taylor and it will be interesting to see if any team is willing to pay the Colts' heavy asking price. 

Everyone can stop calling the Jaguars about Brian Thomas Jr, because it appears that the team is NOT planning to move him. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Jags have let other teams know that they're not planning to trade the receiver. 

It's an interesting position to take because receiver is a hot commodity right now and the Jags could almost certainly get decent return for Thomas. Not to mention, Thomas has basically become an non-factor in Jacksonville's offense with just one catch over the Jags' past four games. 

Of course, the Jags view themselves as a Super Bowl contender and you don't usually see Super Bowl contenders trade any pieces away. The Jags are just one injury away from needing Thomas, which is likely one reason why they're plannig to hold on to him. 

The Dallas Cowboys are 4-5 and in second place in the NFC East, but it looks like it's going to be a quiet deadline for them.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said during his weekly radio appearance on 105.3 The Fan that we should not "count out" a move from them on Tuesday, but that "I don't look for us to make a significant trade today," according to The Athletic.

Dallas already made a significant trade earlier this season, sending a 2028 second-round pick and 2027 sixth-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for cornerback Joey Porter Jr. 

The Cowboys still have significant needs on defense, particularly on the edge and at linebacker, but it doesn't sound like they're going to make something happen, barring a change in the next few hours.

The Jaguars trading first- and second-round picks for the Eagles' Jordan Davis was a stunner, and it might have league-wide ramifications. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported "now teams are looking for overpays" in order to move their players.

Could that mean some big-name players stay put? It's worth monitoring as the deadline nears. 

The team to watch today is going to be the Vikings. There's been a lot of speculation that they could end up adding a quarterback by 4 p.m. ET, and right now, one of the options on the table seems to be Kirk Cousins. 

One thing that can sometimes get lost in trade speculation is the financial aspect of the deal. If the Vikings land Cousins, it wouldn't cost them very much from a financial standpoint. 

The Colts have already traded two players, and right now, there's been a lot of speculation about whether they'll deal anyone else. The most notable names to watch are Jonathan Taylor and Daniel Jones. 

According to ESPN's Colts reporter, Stephen Holder, Indy seems to be tentatively planning on keeping both guys, but there seems to be at least a chance that someone might be able to sway them to make a deal with a big offer. 

The situation in Indy will definitely be one to keep an eye on today. The Vikings are one team that will almost certainly call about Jones and if they want to get crazy, they could try to acquire BOTH Jones and Taylor. 

As we make the slow march toward 4 p.m. ET, you might be wondering: when do these deals actually happen? Ryan Paganetti, who previously was a member of the Super Bowl LII-winning Eagles team as a quality control coach, compiled logged trade times from active general managers around the league to give us a sense of when these deals are officially filed with the league office. 

With Davante Adams and Puka Nacua both out until at least December, that means the Rams don't have a single wide receiver on the roster who currently has more than 175 yards on the season. During an interview Monday, Sean McVay admitted that a trade might happen by the deadline. 

"You look at all avenues to solve the situations that come up. I would never rule it out," McVay said. 

If we know one thing about Rams general manager Les Snead, it's that he loves to wheel and deal. He's proven throughout his career that he's not shy when it comes to pulling the trigger on a big trade, so it's very possible we'll see the Rams make some sort of deal by 4 p.m. ET. 

1. Brian Thomas Jr. (Jaguars). Thomas has become an absolute non-factor in Jacksonville's offense. He only has one catch over the Jags' past four games, and if you add in the fact that Jaguars coach Liam Coen appeared to bench him during Jacksonville's Week 6 loss to Houston, it seems like both sides might be ready to move on. Jaguars general manager James Gladstone spent nine seasons with the Rams working under Les Snead, so he certainly has a close relationship with the L.A. general manager. Due to that fact alone, Thomas to the Rams feels like it has a solid chance of happening. 

2. George Pickens (Cowboys). There is no team that loves to make a big trade more than the Rams, and this would be huge. Going after Pickens would make sense, and that's because the Cowboys actually might be willing to deal him. Pickens is playing on the franchise tag this year, and there's a good chance that he ends up leaving Dallas after the season. If that happens, the Cowboys would get nothing, but if they traded him now, they'd at least get something in return. 

3. Jauan Jennings (Vikings). When Jennings signed with the Vikings back in May, he probably figured he was going to have a big year. With opposing defenses worried about Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, that should have opened things up for Jennings, but that hasn't happened. Through eight games, Jennings has caught just six passes for 54 yards. There's no way he's happy playing in this offense. 

As the most competitive division in football ramps up, Bears head coach Ben Johnson commented on how he and general manager Ryan Poles plan to approach the upcoming deadline. 

"I think Ryan is doing a phenomenal job every day," Johnson said in his Monday media availability, via ESPN's Courtney Cronin. "He's going through and seeing how we can improve this roster, what we need the most of. The coordinators are certainly talking every day right now, just with where their concerns lie within the roster. So we'll see. We'll see if there is another move or two to be made or if we stand put. I feel really confident about the guys we have in this locker room right now. And I think we've proven at this point that we can find a way to win each and every week with this group."

Chicago has already made one of the biggest pre-deadline splashes, trading multiple first-round picks in a package to land Tennessee Titans All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. Simmons has already made a huge impact in the two games with the Bears, registering 2.0 sacks, 3 tackles for loss, and two passes defended

The Vikings' abysmal "Monday Night Football" showing confirmed Carson Wentz isn't the solution, and Kyler Murray hasn't looked like the solution, either. So, where does Minnesota go from here? These are three options, with one sticking out above the rest:

1. Kirk Cousins, Raiders: The Raiders have lost five of six after a 3-0 start. Cousins has played remarkably well ahead of Fernando Mendoza, but Las Vegas probably wants to get its rookie QB on the field at some point. Cousins played in Minnesota from 2018-23 and is familiar with Kevin O'Connell's system.
2. Geno Smith, Jets: The Jets are 2-7 and going nowhere. Smith, though, has played solidly: 12 touchdowns and just three interceptions on 7.7 yards per attempt. As we saw last year, New York is willing to move big names at the deadline.
3. Daniel Jones, Colts: The Colts have reportedly informed Jones they won't trade him, but will that stance hold up if the Vikings give up larger-than-expected draft capital?

What Minnesota does at QB will shape the deadline.

ESPN reports New England Patriots starting running back Rhamondre Stevenson will miss "the next few weeks" with a tendon issue in his knee. Patriots' running back TreVeyon Henderson is sidelined with an "unknown and unexplainable" illness. Perhaps they make a play for Jonathan Taylor or Tony Pollard at the trade deadline. Quarterback Drake Maye could definitely use more help after throwing three interceptions in a 45-27 defeat against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. 

If this first half of the ''Monday Night Football'' game has taught us anything, it's that the Vikings need to deal for a QB. 

The Giants have been rumored in trade talks for a few weeks now and John Harbaugh has expressed a desire to add a running back, but could they now just stand pat? 

In the aftermath of the Jordan Davis trade, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Eagles' other big-name defensive tackle, Moro Ojomo, will not be made available for trade. Philadelphia will reportedly now plan to extend Ojomo to keep him with the Eagles for the foreseeable future.

The 2023 seventh-round pick has been a great developmental project for Philadelphia over the last few years. In 2025, his 6.0 sacks were the second most on the team behind only Jalyx Hunt. While he has yet to record a sack this season, Ojomo ranks 15th among all defensive tackles in ESPN's pass rush win rate. 

It's been quite a day for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags are trading for Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis, per ESPN, in their third deal of the day for a defensive stalwart. The Eagles are getting two high draft picks for Davis: a first-round pick in 2027 and a second-round pick in 2029.

Davis, the 13th overall pick in 2022, will be a big presence for the Jaguars in the middle at 6-foot-6, 336 pounds.

The Eagles looked like playoff contenders at the beginning of the season, but a seven-game losing streak has turned this into a rebuilding season for Philly and Howie Roseman. The Eagles could ship out other pieces, including tight end Dallas Goedert, in the next 23 hours.

The Chiefs were already seeking a wide receiver, a need that grew even bigger after Xavier Worthy's hamstring injury. One receiver that Kansas City has expressed interest in, according to ESPN's Ian Rapoport, is Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. The third-year wideout has played just 39% of offensive snaps in the last four games, taking a reduced role this year with just 10 receptions for 117 yards and two touchdowns on the season. 

However, while Kansas City has been connected to Thomas Jr. as far back as last year, Jacksonville is cautious about moving the wide receiver to an AFC contender they may see again in the playoffs. The Jaguars are reportedly looking to be "additive, not subtractive" at the deadline, having already acquired Jessie Bates from Atlanta and Davon Godchaux from New Orleans. According to Rapoport, though, Thomas Jr. "seems to be the player garnering the most interest" among available wide receivers. 

The Colts have been the centerpiece of this entire trade deadline, having already moved guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner while still holding the top name in trade talks in running back Jonathan Taylor. 

According to ESPN's Ian Rapoport in an appearance on NFL Network's "The Aftermath," the Colts are still unsure whether they will even move the All-Pro running back. Despite already receiving an offer of "a second-round pick and more," Rapoport claimed the Colts are still seeking a "Christian McCaffrey-type deal" of a second-, third-, and fourth-round pick plus additional compensation. Indianapolis is waiting to be "blown away," but no team has done so yet. 

The Colts are also open to dealing other players "at the right price," namely wide receiver Josh Downs and defensive tackle Grover Stewart. However, that "right price" for the Colts sounds different than the value around the league. For example, the Colts are reportedly seeking a fourth-round pick for Stewart, which would be the same compensation they received for Buckner despite Buckner having more sacks, pressures, and quarterback hits on the season than Stewart.

Buy or sell? The Ravens are at a crossroads. They are barreling towards a lost season with all of their quarterback injuries but just made a move to acquire Jacoby Brissett and thus seem inclined to try and salvage the year.

Coach Jesse Minter did not give much indication as to whether more trades are on the way.

Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski gave a pragmatic response to the deal that send Jessie Bates III to the Jaguars. He did also say that Falcons fans are "smart enough to know" that his team is not punting on this season and that it is still very much in the division hunt as one of four three-win teams in the NFC South.

The return for defensive tackle Davon Godchaux is quite interesting. As we noted below, the Saints are receiving a conditional 2028 sixth-round pick that could turn into a 2027 sixth-round selection. However, as noted by ESPN, Jacksonville currently does not possess a 2027 sixth-rounder, but it would go to New Orleans if they eventually acquire one. According to Spotrac's projections, the Jaguars are anticipated to receive two compensatory sixth-rounders. 

The New York Jets are trading safety Andre Cisco to the Detroit Lions, according to ESPN. The Lions are shipping a 2028 sixth-round pick to the Jets in exchange for Cisco, who is set to be a free agent at the end of this season. The 26-year-old has one forced fumble, a sack, and 23 tackles through nine games played (four starts) this season. 

The Saints are acquiring a conditional 2028 sixth-round pick from Jacksonville that can turn into a 2027 sixth-rounder if conditions are met, according to The Athletic. However, the specific parameters of that condition were not immediately revealed. 

Jacksonville is keeping busy, executing its second trade of the day. After landing Jessie Bates in a trade to help bolster the secondary, GM James Gladstone has since turned his attention to the defensive line. The Ringer reports that the Jaguars have agreed to a trade with New Orleans to acquire defensive tackle Davon Godchaux. 

A move like this felt like it was inevitable after nose tackle DaVon Hamilton tore his quad in Week 8 and has since been ruled out for the season. Godchaux brings some much-needed depth to the interior of the defensive line. 

The Giants are actively making calls and are interested in adding to the running back room and at defensive tackle. Harbaugh spoke on the urgency to add to the roster now.

The market for defensive tackles is a tough one to navigate for teams, according to NFL on Prime. Clubs that have looked into adding along the defensive line have seen their options limited. For instance, Philadelphia has reportedly told teams they are not moving Moro Ojomo, and Indianapolis has been reluctant to move on from Grover Stewart. Teams that checked in on Derrick Brown in Carolina have also been quickly shut down.
