Jets Will Not Trade WR Garrett Wilson; Latest On LB Quincy Williams

November 4th, 2025 at 2:51pm CST by Adam La Rose

The Jets have traded away Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams. Jermaine Johnson continues to draw interest, meanwhile, while Breece Hall has asked to be dealt.

With all that going on around the franchise, New York has understandably received calls about Garrett Wilson as well. In that case, however, no swap is forthcoming. Wilson is considered untouchable, SNY’s Connor Hughes reports.

Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post confirms Wilson will not be on the move. The 25-year-old was linked to trade talk last season after the Jets reunited Aaron Rodgers with Davante Adams. Neither were retained in the offseason, though, and Wilson wound up inking a four-year, $130MM extension in July. That pact moved Wilson into fifth in the league in terms of receiver compensation on an annual basis.

Considering the fact New York’s current regime (led by general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn) authorized that extension, it would stand to reason Wilson will be staying in place. Of course, the same was also true of Gardner, who has been dealt just eight games after signing his extension. While the Jets’ defense will look vastly different moving forward, Wilson, 25, will remain a focal point of offense for the foreseeable future.

As for another Jets trade candidate, nothing is imminent at this point for Quincy Williams. The former All-Pro linebacker has been on the radar of interested teams leading up to the deadline, but no deal has been worked out yet. The Exhibit’s Josina Anderson reports New York has been seeking a fourth-round pick for Williams, whose brother is no longer his teammate. Quincy Williams is a pending free agent.

Time still remains for the Jets to swing one or more trades, but it seems as though that will not be the case. Wilson in particular can be assured of remaining in the fold as the team engages in a rebuild.

Bills Eyeing Deebo Samuel, Von Miller?

November 4th, 2025 at 2:24pm CST by Connor Byrne

Wide receiver and defensive line are among areas the Bills could address before the trade deadline. With 3 p.m. CT fast approaching, Commanders receiver Deebo Samuel and pass rusher Von Miller are names to watch for Buffalo, according to Tim Graham of The Athletic.

The Commanders were expected to remain NFC contenders this year after advancing to the conference title game last season. With an eye on bettering their chances in 2025, they swung an offseason deal with the 49ers for Samuel. Through his first eight games with the Commanders, Samuel leads the team in receptions (42) and yards (367, on just 8.7 per catch), and he has added four touchdowns.

Several months after trading for Samuel, the Commanders signed Miller to a one-year, $6.1MM contract over the summer. That came after the longtime Bronco spent three seasons as a member of the Bills, with whom he could reunite. Miller has only played 35% of defensive snaps for the Commanders, but the 36-year-old has collected four sacks in nine games.

Even though Samuel and Miller have been productive, the 3-6 Commanders may be ready to wave the white flag during an injury-plagued season. Quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered what could be a season-ending elbow injury in a loss to the Seahawks in Week 9. With little room for error left and Daniels out for the foreseeable future, it could lead to exits for Samuel and/or Miller.

The Bills rank toward the bottom of the NFL in spending space, though they did create $1.75MM in breathing room when they restructured cornerback Taron Johnson‘s contract on Monday. That could help them fit either Samuel or Miller under the cap. Samuel, like Miller, is due to become a free agent after the season. The 29-year-old is earning a $1.57MM base salary with a $5.16MM cap hit.

If he ends up with the Bills, Samuel will immediately become the most established member of their receiving corps. Slot target Khalil Shakir has been effective again in 2025. However, second-year man Keon Coleman has underwhelmed, Josh Palmer has been out since mid-October with a knee/ankle injury, and no other Bills wideout has caught double-digit passes.

The Bills released Miller last March to open up cap space and then quickly replaced him with another decorated pass rusher in Joey Bosa. That decision has worked out well for the Bills, who are off to a 6-2 start and have received strong work from Bosa.

While Injuries have been a problem throughout Bosa’s career, he has stayed healthy this season. The rest of the Bills’ D-line hasn’t been as lucky, though. Starting tackle Ed Oliver suffered a torn biceps in Week 8 and won’t return until the postseason (if at all). End Michael Hoecht went down with a season-ending torn Achilles in Week 9.

With Oliver and Hoecht unavailable for the second half, it could point the Bills back to Miller. In returning to Buffalo, he’d join a group of outside pass rushers that currently includes Bosa, Greg Rousseau, and A.J. Epenesa.

Jets RB Breece Hall Wants Trade

November 4th, 2025 at 1:52pm CST by Connor Byrne

After already swinging two jaw-dropping trades on Tuesday, the Jets are attempting to make yet another move leading up to the 3 p.m. CT deadline, veteran insider Jordan Schultz reports. The Jets previously said goodbye to two defensive cornerstones, cornerback Sauce Gardner and lineman Quinnen Williams, in blockbusters with the Colts and Cowboys.

With Gardner and Williams gone, running back Breece Hall wants a trade, per Schultz . Despite Hall’s wishes, expectations are that the Jets will retain him, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

While Hall is due to reach free agency in the offseason, making him a pure rental for an acquiring club, the Jets are requesting a third-round pick in return, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Although contenders like the Chiefs, Chargers, and Patriots have come up as speculative fits for the 24-year-old, no one has met the Jets’ asking price. However, there are offers on the table for Hall, Connor Hughes of SNY relays.

If a Hall trade doesn’t come together, it’s possible the Jets will make an attempt to re-sign the fourth-year man and former second-rounder between now and the offseason. Hall has won over rookie head coach Aaron Glenn, who said in mid-October there were no plans to trade him (there probably weren’t plans to trade Gardner or Williams then either). One of the few bright spots on a 1-7 team, Hall has rushed for 581 yards and two touchdowns on 5.0 YPC this season.

With the Jets seemingly unafraid to part with anyone, Hall will continue to be a name to watch going up to the deadline. The same goes for EDGE rusher Jermaine Johnson, who’s reportedly generating second-round offers.

Broncos Eyeing Trade Addition?

November 4th, 2025 at 1:32pm CST by Adam La Rose

The Broncos are not among the teams which have made a trade acquisition so far this season. That could change over the coming hours, however.

Denver is among the teams to watch regarding a splashy addition, according to veteran insider Jordan Schultz as well as Bleacher Report’s James Palmer. The Broncos elected to undertake a number of aggressive moves on the open market this spring, looking to build around Bo Nix while it plays out his rookie contract. So far, that plan has worked well.

Sean Payton and George Paton‘s team currently sits in a three-way tie for the top seed in the AFC. Its 7-2 record has not brought about much in the way of breathing space in terms of the race for the AFC West, but a second straight playoff berth can certainly be expected. As such, a buyer’s stance would come as no surprise.

After Denver spent big on defense during the offseason, that unit has delivered. The team currently ranks in the top eight in the NFL against both the pass and the run. Adding on that side of the ball would be a luxury, whereas bringing in help on offense would likely move the needle to a larger extent. Indeed, the Broncos were recently linked to interest in making moves along the interior of the offensive line and/or at the receiver position.

No O-linemen have been dealt in the recent build-up to the trade deadline. It is uncommon for teams to part with quality blockers even when they operate as a seller. The wide receiver spot, by contrast, has seen movement today. Jakobi Meyers (Raiders) and Rashid Shaheed (Seahawks) have been dealt. Both of those cases are rentals who were acquired for a pair of Day 3 picks. Denver is currently projected to own 10 selections in the 2026 draft, so capital will not be an issue for any swap.

Finances, on the other hand, could be. The Broncos entered Tuesday near the bottom of the league with roughly $4.7MM in cap space, so a pricey move would be unlikely. Still, Denver will be worth watching as trade calls around the league continue.

Jalen Ramsey Sticking At Safety In Week 10

November 4th, 2025 at 1:30pm CST by Connor Byrne

Jalen Ramsey has starred at cornerback since entering the NFL as the fifth overall pick of the Jaguars in 2016. Nine years later, a position change may be in store for the seven-time Pro Bowler.

After Ramsey lined up at free safety in a 27-20 win over the Colts last Sunday, he’ll work “exclusively” at the position as the Steelers prepare to face the Chargers on Sunday, according to head coach Mike Tomlin (via Brooke Pryor of ESPN). The Steelers have updated their depth chart, placing Ramsey as the starting free safety, Kyle Dugger as the No. 1 strong safety, and Brandin Echols as their top slot cornerback, per team correspondent Mark Kaboly.

When discussing Ramsey this week (via Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette), Tomlin said that his ability to handle multiple positions “will provide opportunities for Brandin Echols to step up, which he did, and play more nickel. It will give guys like James Pierre more reps outside. We have more depth at corner than we do safety right now. We’re simply pivoting and doing what’s required to keep the train rolling.”

As Tomlin alluded to, the Steelers were severely shorthanded at safety against the Colts’ top-ranked offense, necessitating Ramsey’s switch from corner. DeShon Elliott, Jabrill Peppers, Chuck Clark, and Miles Killebrew were all out with injuries and/or illnesses. Meanwhile, Dugger played his first game as a Steeler after they acquired him from the Patriots last Tuesday. Ramsey (78) and Dugger (77) ended up among Pittsburgh’s leaders in defensive snaps during a six-turnover, five-sack performance.

Just months after trading safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to Miami in a June blockbuster that delivered Ramsey (and Jonnu Smith) to Pittsburgh, the Steelers are now relying on Ramsey to help strengthen the position. As Pro Football Focus’ 32nd-ranked corner out of 107 qualifiers, Ramsey has been a bright spot on a struggling Steelers defense this year. While the team is 5-3 and atop the AFC North, its pass defense ranks last in the NFL.

Unless the Steelers move Ramsey back to corner, he’s in line to join Peppers, Clark, Dugger, and Juan Thornhill as their choices at safety for the rest of the season. Elliott and Killebrew (primarily a special teamer) are on IR with knee injuries and questionable to return in 2025. Ramsey said back in 2021 that he’d one day like to emulate Charles Woodson, a Hall of Famer who made a successful transition from corner to safety late in his career. Four years later, Ramsey may be getting his wish.

Jets Receiving Second-Round Offers On EDGE Jermaine Johnson

November 4th, 2025 at 1:25pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

The Jets are continuing to take calls on Jermaine Johnson, with teams offering second-round picks in deals for the fourth-year edge rusher, per SNY’s Connor Hughes.

Johnson has been a popular trade target with the Jets thought to be seeking a second-round pick in exchange. New York seems to be going through a full roster reset after trading both Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams before the deadline. They are likely trying to garner as much draft capital as possible for a quarterback prospect in the next two years and rebuild their roster under their new regime.

Hughes’ specific wording – “offers include a second-round pick.” – and the timing of his report suggest that the Jets are being asked to send a pick back to an acquiring team as part of the deal. They may be trying to drum up better offers before the deadline elapses in less than two hours.

It seems likely that Johnson will be on his way out of New York later today, and other Jets like Breece Hall could also join the apparent fire sale. The Jets’ moves are arguably the most significant back-to-back trades made by a franchise in years, if not decades. They now have the draft picks to land their desired quarterback prospect in one of the next two drafts while also searching for new franchise cornerstones to replace the ones they just sent out of town.

Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon On Kyler Murray: ‘Nothing’s Changed’

November 4th, 2025 at 12:42pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

The Cardinals are not planning to keep Jacoby Brissett at quarterback after Kyler Murray returns from injury.

Murray has missed Arizona’s last three games with a foot injury. The offense has looked better with Brissett under center, averaging five more points per game in his starts compared to Murray’s. Brissett has three straight games with at least 260 passing yards and two touchdowns; Murray has none.

That has led to questions about the Cardinals sticking with Brissett after Murray comes back, but head coach Jonathan Gannon shut such talk down on Monday night.

“Nothing’s changed on that,” Gannon said (via ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss) when asked about making a change at quarterback.

However, the Cardinals have not found much success under Gannon and general manager Monti Ossenfort since they were hired together in 2023. They did not draft Murray or sign him to his current contract extension, and could be looking to find a different long-term quarterback that meshes better with their vision for the team.

It would still seem to be unwise for the Cardinals to bench Murray this year. Such a move could be an alarming sign to other teams and drop his trade value in the offseason, and he has enough guaranteed money remaining on his deal to make an outright release uncomfortable for Arizona’s salary cap.

It is also fair to wonder if Murray has been put in the best position to succeed. His results were much better with Kliff Kingsbury calling the offense rather than current OC Tommy Rees, and the Cardinals have not consistently had a strong offensive line since drafting Murray. The Cardinals seem to be approaching a major decision point regarding Murray’s future, but they seem unlikely to bench him before making that call.

Bears To Acquire Joe Tryon-Shoyinka From Browns

November 4th, 2025 at 12:23pm CST by Connor Byrne

The Bears entered deadline day eyeing help along the defensive line. With the deadline approaching, Chicago has agreed to acquire pass rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka from Cleveland, Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports reports.

The Bears will also receive a seventh-round pick, while the Browns will nab a sixth-rounder, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The seventh-rounder originally belonged to the Eagles, according to Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal. The Browns acquired the selection from the Jaguars last month in the teams’ Greg Newsome–Tyson Campbell trade.

Months after the Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV, they used the 32nd overall pick in the draft on Tryon-Shoyinka in 2021. The former Washington Huskie spent his first four years in Tampa Bay, where he started in 45 of 66 appearances and collected 15 sacks. That wasn’t enough to prevent the Buccaneers from allowing Tryon-Shoyinka to walk in free agency last winter.

Tryon-Shoyinka’s first trip to the open market led him to Cleveland on a one-year, $4.75MM pact. Despite appearing in all eight of the Browns’ games this season, Tryon-Shoyinka wasn’t much of a factor before the trade. The 26-year-old combined for just 89 snaps between defense and special teams. The majority of his snaps (58) came as part of the ST unit. He totaled nine tackles and no sacks with the out-of-contention Browns, who are now moving in another direction.

The Bears, 5-3 and in playoff contention, are unsurprisingly adding to their defensive line after losing end Dayo Odeyingbo to a season-ending Achilles tear in a 47-42 win over the Bengals in Week 9. Considering Odeyingbo led Bears D-linemen in snaps, it’s possible the Bears will aim for further additions before the deadline.

With the Bears ranking toward the bottom of the league in sacks (17), 26th in total defense, and 29th in points per game allowed, Tryon-Shoyinka may not move the needle much for Chicago. Nevertheless, the Bears will hope Tryon-Shoyinka can make more of an impact in their uniform than he did with the Browns. If Tryon-Shoyinka does prove to be a solid buy-low pickup for the Bears, they could re-sign him before he returns to free agency next offseason.

Bears Could Be Active On Trade Front

November 4th, 2025 at 12:18pm CST by Adam La Rose

In the lead-up to today’s trade deadline, the Bears have not been frequently mentioned as a strong candidate to make a major addition. That remains the case with hours to go, but it would not come as a surprise if a move of some kind were to be made.

Jay Glazer of Fox Sports predicts general manager Ryan Poles will be active today. He cautions a blockbuster acquisition is unlikely based on the asking price for stars (which is of course common at this time of year). Still, a more modest addition would be welcomed if it were to come along the defensive front in particular.

Chicago’s defensive line has been hit with injuries recently, including yesterday’s news that Dayo Odeyingbo suffered an Achilles tear in Week 9. As Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports notes, the Bears needed to address their D-line even before they lost Odeyingbo. With Odeyingbo – a key offseason acquisition – out of commission, the Bears “have been actively” seeking a pass rusher leading up to the deadline, veteran insider Jordan Schultz reports. 

While the Ben Johnson-led Bears are off to a 5-3 start and in contention for their first playoff berth since 2020, they’ve succeeded despite ranking 26th in total defense and 29th in points per game allowed. They yielded a whopping 470 passing yards against Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco in a 47-42 shootout last Sunday. Chicago sacked the immobile Flacco three times, but with 17 on the season, only eight teams have taken down the opposing QB less than the Bears.

While it’s unclear which players the Bears are targeting, it’s worth noting that defensive coordinator Dennis Allen was previously with the Saints, who have established themselves as sellers. Pass rushers Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson are among Saints who could move in the next couple of hours, perhaps to Chicago.

Whether Poles looks to New Orleans or elsewhere for aidd, he has typically been busy on deadline day. The fourth-year GM has both bought and sold ahead of the deadline during his time in Chicago. Poles is in position to buy this year, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him reel in defensive help.

Cowboys Eyeing Further Defensive Additions

November 4th, 2025 at 11:35am CST by Connor Byrne

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on Monday that the team would make at least one trade before Tuesday’s deadline. Jones delivered, acquiring linebacker Logan Wilson from the Bengals for a 2026 seventh-round pick. With just a few hours left until the 3 p.m. CT deadline, Jones may not be done yet.

Despite dropping to 3-5-1 with a 27-17 loss to the Cardinals on Monday, Jones hasn’t ruled out further additions. Jones told 105.3 The Fan that there are potential trades available that could benefit the Cowboys now and in the future (via Jon Machota of The Athletic). It doesn’t seem that the Cowboys have any interest in trading away anyone from their roster, however, per Machota.

Speaking to the media after Monday’s loss, Jones said, “I like our nuts and bolts a lot.”

If that’s true, the Cowboys may be less likely to move on from defensive tackle Mazi Smith, who’s reportedly a trade candidate. Smith was a 17-game starter last year, but he has mostly disappointed since Dallas took him 26th overall in the 2023 draft. The former Michigan Wolverine hasn’t started in any of his five appearances this year, and he has totaled just 89 defensive snaps and three tackles. The Cowboys made him a healthy inactive against the Cardinals.

Regardless of whether a change of scenery is in store for Smith, it seems likely that any more additions on Tuesday would come on the defensive side of the ball. The Cowboys’ defense has been the worst in the NFC this year, and the Wilson pickup alone likely won’t be enough to orchestrate a dramatic turnaround. Cognizant of that, the Cowboys are continuing to work the phones looking for more defensive help, Jay Glazer of FOX Sports relays.

A report on Monday connected Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson and Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb to the Cowboys. As a pending free agent, Hendrickson would be a pure rental, though the Cowboys have the cap room to re-sign the pass-rushing menace to a lucrative multiyear deal. Chubb is under wraps through 2027, meaning he’s technically not a rental, but none of the $39.5MM he’s owed over the next two seasons is guaranteed.

There are other possibilities beyond Hendrickson and Chubb, and Jones previously indicated the Cowboys would consider adding players under control beyond 2025. With Jones willing to deal draft capital from the Micah Parsons blockbuster he pulled off with Green Bay before the season, Dallas remains a team to watch leading up to the deadline.
