Summary
Nov. 10 is the NFL trade deadline, and movement has already started with Chicago landing Jeffery Simmons from Tennessee for two first-round picks after Seattle acquired Quenton Nelson from Indianapolis.
Indianapolis appears to be the league’s clearest seller after also sending DeForest Buckner to San Francisco, with executives expecting the Colts to shop Jonathan Taylor and possibly Josh Downs for draft capital.
Justin Herbert and Garrett Wilson have surfaced in league discussions, but rival executives say the Chargers would want at least three first-round picks for Herbert, while the Jets would need two firsts plus a player for Wilson.
Kansas City is expected to be aggressive for a receiver despite less than $2 million in cap space, with Downs and Washington’s Stefon Diggs among the names that could fit.
Philadelphia is another team viewed as open for business at 2-6, though premium prices would be required for DeVonta Smith or Saquon Barkley as contenders weigh whether one move can change a tight playoff race.
