NFL trade deadline tracker: Live updates on news, rumors for Kirk Cousins, Jonathan Taylor and more at 2026 deadline

The NFL trade deadline is quickly approaching, giving teams one last chance to make deals for the postseason stretch.

In recent years, the NFL trade deadline has increased in excitement as more teams have become willing to make moves during the season. That has continued this year, as there have already been major moves as contenders aim to strengthen their rosters for the second half and the playoffs.

Thus far, the biggest trade story has been the Indianapolis Colts , who have sold a few pieces amid a disappointing season. They still have one of the biggest names available, though, as Jonathan Taylor could be traded if Indianapolis finds a team to pay its asking price.

Taylor is not the only running back in rumors, though, with Derrick Henry also facing a trade possibility if the Baltimore Ravens want to sell the impending free agent. So far, the Ravens have been unwilling to trade the star as they hope to still compete down the stretch.

The trade deadline will come and pass on Tuesday afternoon, and now that Week 9 is wrapping up, teams can focus on making deals in the final few days before the deadline.

The Sporting News is tracking live updates on the latest NFL trade rumors ahead of the 2026 deadline. Follow along below with the news.

Sept. 28 : The Minnesota Vikings traded QB J.J. McCarthy to the New York Giants for a 2027 fifth-round pick.

The Chiefs are sending the Colts a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick for Downs and a 2027 seventh-round pick. Kansas City is much improved this year but badly needed help in the wide receiver room, so they get the talented pending free agent in Downs.

Denver gets linebacker help in the form of Henry, sending a fourth-round pick and a fifth-round pick back to the Chargers in return. Los Angeles was hesitant to sell but agreed to this deal before the deadline.

The Colts received offers headlined by second-round picks, but the team opted to keep their star for the remainder of the season. Indianapolis has just two wins and is clearly in rebuild mode, making Taylor one of the few reasons to watch the team.

The Vikings get Cousins from the Raiders for a 2027 third-round pick, bringing the former Minnesota QB back to try and help fix the offense. Cousins spent 2018-2023 with the team, leading Minnesota to multiple playoff appearances.

The full deal sees the Titans sending Hooker and a fifth-round pick to the Bills for a second-round pick. Hooker has been one of the best Titans all season, as he even intercepted Joe Burrow three times in the same game earlier in the year.

San Francisco sends Indianapolis a sixth-round pick for Allen, who will be playing for his fourth team with the 49ers. Allen is a veteran who gives the 49ers some experience down the stretch.

Vikings have yet to make call to Saints about Derek Carr

Minnesota's quarterbacking woes have brought about a host of wacky rumors, one of which links the franchise with retired hurler Derek Carr. Florio reported that Minnesota hasn't placed a call for the aging passer. He remains on New Orleans' reserved/retired list, meaning the Vikings would have to trade for him to land his services.

Tyreek Hill lurking in the shadows, per agent

Hill has yet to be medically cleared from the dislocated knee he suffered last year, but is anticipating receiving the thumbs up to return in a few weeks, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. That could open the door to him returning to the field as a free agent.

Cowboys considering signing Kendre Miller as RB2

The Cowboys are in the market for a new tailback after backup Tyler Goodson suffered a knee injury in Week 9. Per Archer, Dallas is looking at Miller, who was recently a casualty of waivers. The former Saints running back tallied 159 yards and two touchdowns on 57 carries this season before getting purged.

Chargers may be willing to listen to offers

Schultz reports that Los Angeles seems more "receptive" to offers in the last 24 hours and could trade players if the deal is right. While the Chargers remain the lone team in the NFL without a win, they haven't appeared interested in moving players yet.

It turns out, Cincinnati didn't want Ebiketie to mean the team loses a third-round compensatory pick, so the team backed out of the deal. The comp pick formula could end up impacting the Bengals' plans today.

Commanders 'unlikey' to make any significant moves

At 2-5-1, the Commanders' season is going in the wrong direction, but Washington does not appear inclined to make any of their players available. The Commanders have many veterans they could explore trading if they do change their mind.

Bengals acquire Arnold Ebiketie from Eagles

Philadelphia's sale continues by sending Ebiketie to Cincinnati for a sixth-round pick in 2027. The linebacker was in his first season with the Eagles after four seasons with the Falcons, producing 25 tackles in nine games for the defense.

Vikings targeting Kirk Cousins, Daniel Jones

The Vikings appear to be focusing their efforts on two former Minnesota quarterbacks in Cousins and Jones. Cousins, of course, spent many years with the Vikings and led them to the playoffs a few times, while Jones spent the latter part of the 2024 season with them even though he never appeared in a game.

Jaguars plan on keeping Brian Thomas Jr.

While Thomas has been in trade rumors for a while, Jacksonville said it will not move him before the deadline. That makes Thomas good depth for the Jaguars even though he has not performed as he did during his rookie season in 2024.

Jerry Jones expects quiet Cowboys deadline

"A lot of things happen on this last day, but I don't look for us to make a significant trade today," Jones told 103.5 The FAN on Tuesday morning. The Cowboys could use some help on defense, but they have already used many of their assets to acquire players and probably don't want to extend too much more.

After Carson Wentz's nightmare game on Monday night, the Vikings quarterback position might be the biggest need in the entire sport. With a playoff spot still in sight, Minnesota will try to salvage the season before it's too late.

Jonathan Taylor 'open' to trade, Titans don't want to trade Tony Pollard

As of Monday afternoon, Taylor is considered "open to being traded," but the Colts want to maximize the value in return, rather than "force" a trade right now, according to Schultz. As for Titans running back Tony Pollard, Schultz reports that Tennessee hasn't proven willing to move Pollard, wanting to keep Cam Ward's top offensive weapons around him.

Lions TE Sam LaPorta has made it clear he is comfortable playing elsewhere next season as he prepares for free agency, but don't expect a midseason trade. Interested teams "have gotten the impression that Detroit would like to keep" LaPorta, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports.

Jacksonville's upgrades on defense aren't done yet. The Jaguars are acquiring defensive tackle Jordan Davis from the Eagles for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick, per reports. The 26-year-old now joins defensive tackle Davon Godchaux and safety Jessie Bates as the Jaguars' newest defensive additions ahead of the 2026 trade deadline.

In nine games this season, Davis recorded 31 tackles and 1.5 sacks. The 2022 first-round pick just signed a three-year, $78 million contract extension in March of this season.

Colts have tabled at least one offer for Josh Downs

Speaking on "The Pat McAfee Show", Schefter revealed that the Colts have received at least one offer for Downs. Per Schefter, one team offered a fourth-rounder for Downs. That wasn't enough to get Indianapolis to budge, though.

Jets deal S Andre Cisco to Lions for sixth-round pick

New York is sending Cisco to the Lions in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round pick, per Schefter. Cisco, 26, has 23 tackles, one sack and one pass deflection in nine games (four starts) this season. His contract expires at the end of the season.

Jaguars acquire DT Davon Godchaux in deal with Saints

Jacksonville bolstered its defensive line ahead of Tuesday's deadline, landing Godchaux in its second major move. The 31-year-old has been a starter for much of his career but has seen his minutes fluctuate thus far, taking just 30 percent of defensive snaps with New Orleans this season. He has 15 tackles and one tackle for loss this season.

Smith has been solid for the Jets this season, but with New York at 2-7 on the year, other teams have called to see if they could get the veteran quarterback. However, there is no evidence that the Jets are willing to part with their starting quarterback.

The pass rusher has lost opportunities this year on a bad Jets defense and would like a fresh start, but the Jets have thus far not entertained trade calls for him. McDonald is signed through 2027 thanks to his fifth-year option.

Jaguars acquire Jessie Bates from Falcons

Atlanta will get a second- and a fifth-round pick back in return. Bates is a former Pro Bowler with playoff experience from his time with the Bengals, and he becomes an upgrade in the back of the Jaguars' defense

Jonathan Taylor gave farewell speech to media

After the Colts' loss to the Cowboys, Taylor told the media how much he enjoyed playing for Indianapolis in case the team trades him. It's still unclear if the Colts will pull the trigger on trading Taylor, but this is a sign that Taylor knows it's possible.

Colts told Daniel Jones he won't be traded

With the Colts struggling, Jones' name appeared in trade rumors, but Indianapolis decided not to move the veteran quarterback. That doesn't mean that Jones will remain the Colts' starter for the rest of the season, but it does ensure he finishes the season in Indianapolis.

Giants pulled offer for Colts' Jonathan Taylor

According to Glazer, the Giants offered a second- and fifth-round pick for Taylor, but have since taken back the offer. New York will now only engage in talks if the Colts' asking price comes down.

Chargers likely to hold on to key players

While the Chargers have been a disappointment this season, Los Angeles is not expected to unload before the deadline. That means that Justin Herbert, Khalil Mack and Ladd McConkey are all expected to stay in Los Angeles.

Ravens not expected to trade Derrick Henry

The Ravens' season is hanging by a thread with Lamar Jackson out, so teams have called about Henry, who is an impending free agent. For now, Baltimore has declined those offers and plan on keeping Henry for the rest of the season.

Colts turned down Daniel Jones inquiries

Despite teams making calls on Jones, Indianapolis turned down offers ahead off Sunday's game against the Cowboys. With the Colts at 2-7, though, those calls are unlikely to stop before the trade deadline passes on Tuesday afternoon.

There are no reports that the Cardinals have made Trey McBride available, but that hasn't stopped the Broncos from trying to acquire the star tight end. McBride is a Colorado native who has established himself as one of the best tight ends in the league.

Teams have contacted Colts about Daniel Jones

The season has not gone well in Indianapolis, which means Jones could be on the move to a QB-needy team. The Vikings are surely one to watch if the Colts decide to trade their starting quarterback.

QB Jacoby Brissett (traded from Cardinals)

CB Joey Porter Jr. (traded from Steelers)

WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (traded from Cardinals)

The 2026 NFL trade deadline was at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

All trades had to be agreed upon and submitted to the NFL office by 4 p.m. ET. There is a chance that certain deals are reported after the deadline, but as long as the calls are submitted to the office in time, then the trades will go through.
