Summary
Four mock NFL deadline deals got done ahead of the Nov. 10 cutoff: Buffalo acquired Amani Hooker, Cincinnati landed Donte Jackson, Pittsburgh got Josh Downs, and Jacksonville added Moro Ojomo.
Buffalo made the strongest move, sending a 2027 third-round pick for Hooker plus a 2027 seventh after identifying safety as a major need; the Bills also restructured Gregory Rousseau's contract to fit Hooker.
Pittsburgh paid a 2027 third-rounder for Downs and a 2028 fifth, while Jacksonville met Philadelphia's price for Ojomo with a 2027 third; Cincinnati got Jackson for a 2027 sixth.
Three featured players stayed put when offers fell short: Jonathan Taylor drew the best bid from the Giants, Josh Sweat failed to command more than a 2027 fourth, and Brian Thomas Jr. did not fetch Jacksonville's minimum third-round ask.
