TRENDING Bills beat Vikings on MNF Wemby's on a tear NFL Power Rankings Week 10 Waiver Wire Story by Yahoo Sports Staff Tue, November 10, 2026 at 6:59 PM UTC · 9 min read About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement The NFL trade market is open with several high-profile deals already done. We'll be tracking and grading the key trades across the NFL up until Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline.
Jordan Davis to Jaguars | Jesse Bates to Jaguars | Jacoby Brissett to Ravens | Jeffrey Simmons to Bears | Quenton Nelson to Seahawks | DeForest Buckner to 49ers | Marvin Harrison Jr. to Texans | Cam Jurgens to Ravens | Joey Porter to Cowboys | J.J. McCarthy to Giants | Broderick Jones to Cowboys
The Jaguars left no doubt they're going for a Super Bowl this year by making their third trade of the day, following deals for Jessie Bates and Davon Godchaux. Davis was the biggest move of them all as Jacksonville paid a robust price for a big run-stopping tackle who can plug into the middle of the defense. The Eagles signed Davis to a three-year, $78 million extension in March, yet Davis' cap hit for 2027 is a very reasonable figure at just over $8.5 million.
For the Eagles, it's a tough short-term pill to swallow for the franchise and a fan base used to competing every season, but the long-term payoff could be immense. The Eagles' to-do list this offseason grows, but the potential of how they can reshape the roster is equally as exciting. — Eric Edholm
Safety flew beneath the radar a bit for Jacksonville, but injuries made it a position of some concern. Bates has a lot of qualities that fit the Jaguars seek. He's one of the league's better center fielders — and he's a ballhawk. It comes at a cost, however. Bates is set to hit free agency, and given the team's tight cap situation, he could end up being a half-season rental.
Bates is the ideal type of asset to trade off in this situation, given his expiring contract and reaching a point in his career where his value might start to depreciate. Getting back a plum draft pick for an expiring contract made it well worth the price. — Eric Edholm
Nobody should believe Brissett will save Baltimore's season and help it win a division. But he was the best option available, and he at least makes sure the Ravens aren't playing out the string with uncompetitive football for two months. And maybe a miracle happens and the Ravens are still in contention by the time Lamar Jackson returns, if he can this season.
It's a reasonable move for the Cardinals, who are going to start rookie Carson Beck soon to get a look at him by next season. Gardner Minshew can do as well as Brissett in the short term. They get to add draft capital for a player who wasn't going to see the field the rest of the season and has an expiring contract. — Frank Schwab
Value-wise, this is close to as much compensation as you'll see moved for a defensive player. But if the Bears make a Super Bowl run, the price very well could make the move a smart one. This trade sends a clear signal that the Bears are going for it all this season.
The Titans are facing a multi-year rebuild, and this was the best way to help starting toward that effort. They have more needs today than they did yesterday, and picks are merely lottery tickets, but this felt like a deal GM Mike Borgonzi had to make. – Eric Edholm
The Colts have other players who are far less tethered to the organization who also soon could be moved. Lacking a first-round draft pick next year from the Sauce Gardner trade, the Colts are trying to recoup as much draft-pick value as possible before the spring. With Daniel Jones' struggles, along with the Colts' apparent lack of trust in Anthony Richardson Sr., the team almost certainly will be going QB hunting in the offseason. …
Given the stage of his career and his contract status, this could end up being a fairly pricy rental for the Seahawks — and that potential cost must be baked into the team's grade. But if Nelson plays to his expected level, or even above the level he's played at this season, and the Seahawks remain a title contender, it would be hard to label this as anything but a win. – Eric Edholm
The 49ers needed defensive help up front, and Buckner looks like the right-shaped peg for their hole inside. Osa Odighizuwa has supplied some pressure, and rookie Gracen Halton has had some big moments, but they're the only Niners DTs to play every game. There weren't many other dependable pieces inside. It was also a group that lacked length and the ability to close down passing lanes. Odighizuwa and Halton have the only two batted passes for the team this season. …
The Colts got about what could be expected in return, and considering how depleted their draft-pick drawer is with no first-round pick next year, every pick counts. Even with the 2027 selections they got for Nelson and Buckner likely falling closer to the ends of those respective rounds, the Colts are accumulating more immediate assets to compete for a quarterback next year. It's smarter than waiting a year for compensatory-pick value, even if they're having to pay for past sins. – Eric Edholm
Nobody outbid the Houston Texans for receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. Whether that's a win for the Texans remains to be seen.
The Texans landed Harrison, the disappointing receiver from the Arizona Cardinals. It was reported Oct. 10 that the Cardinals were finalizing details on a trade for Harrison, but no team was announced. No team made a better offer to the Cardinals at the last minute, so Harrison and a 2027 sixth-round pick go to Houston for a 2027 second-round draft pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick.
It gives Harrison a second chance. And Arizona recoups some value after a draft whiff on Harrison. – Frank Schwab
The timing, one day after longtime Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson abruptly announced his retirement , is perhaps the most surprising element of the trade.
The Ravens, who have had a hard time replacing Tyler Linderbaum at center, recently watched as Danny Pinter, Jovaughn Gwyn and Ethan Pocic all suffered injuries, forcing 2026 first-rounder Vega Ioane over from guard to center.
Jurgens now figures to be Baltimore's center for multiple seasons, given the nature of his contract after he signed an extension last year. – Eric Edholm
Jerry Jones said before the season that he was itching to make another big trade .
The Dallas Cowboys owner made a move, with room to possibly make another splash before the deadline. Dallas dealt a 2028 second-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for their young cornerback Joey Porter Jr., a second-round selection in 2023.
It wasn't the all-in move Jones has teased. But it's still a big move that should help improve a defense that hasn't been great to start the 2026 season . – Frank Schwab
Is J.J. McCarthy, who fell from first- to third-string quarterback quickly in Minnesota, the answer for a Giants team that lost not only Jaxson Dart but also its top pass rusher in All-Pro Brian Burns (season-ending ACL tear) ? How quickly can McCarthy acclimate to a new offense, new terminology and new cast of supporting teammates?
McCarthy played and started 10 games in two-plus seasons as a Viking, winning an impressive six. But that record often reflected the talent around him and even moreso, the strength of the Vikings' defense.
McCarthy threw 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in his 10 Vikings games. Since he was drafted in 2024, his 72.6 passer rating ranks 43rd out of 44 quarterbacks who have started at least 10 games. Only Anthony Richardson Sr., whom the Indianapolis Colts tried and failed to trade in the spring, has posted a lower mark. — Frank Schwab (grades) and Jori Epstein
There was excitement for the Pittsburgh Steelers when they drafted Georgia offensive tackle Broderick Jones with the 14th overall NFL Draft pick in 2023. They even traded up to take him.
The excitement ran out when the Steelers traded Jones to the Dallas Cowboys . The Cowboys sent a third- and sixth-round pick to the Steelers for Jones and a fourth-round pick.
Jones had dealt with a neck injury and had not been the player the Steelers thought they were getting. He had struggled to become a reliable tackle. He was in the mix to start for the Steelers this season but when Max Iheanachor, this year's first-round pick by Pittsburgh, made his preseason debut Thursday then Jones became expendable.
For the Cowboys, it's one of the chances they often take on players who were graded highly coming out of college but didn't work out with their first team.
