Summary
Seventeen trades were completed before the NFL deadline, closing a busy in-season market that featured Kirk Cousins returning to Minnesota and Josh Downs moving to Kansas City.
Teams now cannot execute any more trades until the new league year opens at 4 p.m. ET on March 11, 2027, though they can still reach agreements in principle before then.
From now through the end of the season, every player released must clear waivers regardless of veteran status, removing the usual ability of established players to pick their next team immediately.
Jacksonville was among the busiest clubs in the final reshuffling, underscoring how active teams were before the market shut for the rest of the season.
