The Arizona Cardinals must resist the temptation to trade star tight end Trey McBride before the 2026 trade deadline. Despite Denver’s interest, the franchise has already told the Broncos it has “zero intention” to move the 26‑year‑old who posted a record‑setting 2025 season (126 catches, 1,239 yards, 11 TDs) and is on pace for 73 catches, 598 yards and five TDs through nine games in 2026. With a new quarterback situation and no clear internal replacement, McBride is the only reliable offensive weapon, and his $76 million, four‑year extension runs through 2029. Trading him would create a bigger problem than it solves, so GM Monti Ossenfort should keep him as the cornerstone of the Cardinals’ rebuild.
The Carolina Panthers fell to 3-5 after a 28-24 home loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, highlighted by a controversial replay that turned a seemingly incomplete pass into a Broncos interception late in the third quarter. QB Bryce Young said it’s “a first for me in football,” while coach Dave Canales confirmed Broncos head coach Sean Payton dropped a challenge flag before the next snap, nullifying the Panthers’ chance to score. Denver capitalized on the turnover, sealed the win to improve to 7-2, and the Panthers now face a crucial road game against the New Orleans Saints next week.
The NFL swaps Week 11’s Sunday slate, moving the Steelers‑Eagles game to the 1 p.m. regional slot and promoting the Jaguars‑Giants matchup to the 4:25 p.m. national window on CBS. Both Jacksonville, now a top Super Bowl contender, and New York, sitting 5‑2‑1 after beating Philadelphia, earn broader exposure, while the Eagles slump to 2‑7 amid Jalen Hurts’ season‑ending blood clot issues. The change also avoids a weak national broadcast that would have pitted Steelers‑Eagles against Raiders‑Broncos, and highlights upcoming flex‑scheduling challenges for the league.
Jonathan Taylor rumors are picking up ahead of Tuesday's 2 p.m. deadline, but two of the three morning show hosts don't think the Broncos will make a move
The NFL Week 9 fantasy football usage report examines snap counts, routes run and changing offensive roles across the league. Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman played 77% of offensive snaps, while Breece Hall returned to a shared backfield with Braelon Allen for the New York Jets. PFF's usage and production data also highlights expanded opportunities for rookies Jordyn Tyson and Kenyon Sadiq, along with shifting wide receiver rotations.
The Denver Broncos clinch a 26‑21 win over the Carolina Panthers, extending their streak to five games, but a late‑game mishap draws attention. Quarterback Bo Nix’s ill‑timed pitch to rookie Jonah Coleman fumbles near the Broncos’ own 8‑yard line, prompting a heated sideline exchange with head coach Sean Payton that is captured on video. Both later acknowledge the mistake—Nix taking responsibility for the poorly executed flip, and Payton admitting the play call was a bad decision. Despite the setback, Denver preserves a five‑point lead, seals the game with a third‑down sneak and a defensive strip‑sack, improving to 7‑2.
Jordan Schultz predicts more than 10 NFL trades before the Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026 deadline. He says the Chiefs, 49ers, and Seahawks all need receiver help; the 49ers also want a pass rusher. Buffalo may target a safety, while Denver looks for a running back or tight end. Pittsburgh seeks a receiver and corner, and Cincinnati will explore mid‑tier deals. Chicago wants a corner, Minnesota aims to add big‑line players, and New York’s Giants need a defensive tackle and a running back. Detroit eyes any defensive aid, Green Bay wants a running back, and New England is after another pass rusher but could move DT Christian Barmore. The article lists 10 mock trades that address these needs.
The Denver Broncos, riding a five‑game winning streak atop the AFC West, are reportedly eyeing a bold wide‑receiver trade before the NFL deadline. With Jaylen Waddle underperforming and Courtland Sutton in decline, the team may target Dallas Cowboys' emerging talent George Pickens, a move floated by ESPN’s Dan Graziano. Analyst Tony Adame suggests Denver could offer a 2027 third‑round pick plus either rookie cornerback Riley Moss or 2025 first‑rounder Jahdae Barron to secure Pickens, who is currently playing on a franchise tag. A Pickens acquisition would instantly boost Denver’s passing game, though a re‑signing would be needed in the spring.
Quarterback Bo Nix caps Denver's 26-14 Week 9 win over the Carolina Panthers with a playful nod to the classic film Space Jam, wearing a shirt and calling the movie “great.” Nix threw for 237 yards, two TDs and one INT, and recovered a fumble to preserve the victory after a late Panthers comeback. He’s now 1,730 passing yards, 11 TDs and four INTs on the season, leading the Broncos to a five‑game streak heading into their bye before facing the Las Vegas Raiders.
Denver rookie running back Jonah Coleman stunned fans after CBS highlighted his eight‑week body makeover. The graphic shows Coleman dropping from 236 lb (16.8% body fat) to 222 lb (14.2%) — a transformation he achieved while at Washington in March 2025 and which helped boost his agility and explosiveness. The change sparked viral reactions, including jokes about drug testing. Since joining the Broncos as a fourth‑round pick in 2026, Coleman has already logged 104 scrimmage yards and a rushing TD versus the Chiefs in Week 8, then added another TD and 88 total yards against Carolina, cementing his emerging role in Denver’s backfield.
The NFL trade deadline arrives Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 4 PM ET, and insiders expect 8‑10 deals in the final 36 hours. Early moves include the 49ers adding DE DeForest Buckner and the Bears receiving DL Jeffery Simmons from Tennessee. The Indianapolis Colts, 2‑7, are selling star RB Jonathan Taylor, with the Vikings and Broncos among interested parties. The NFC North may also be active as the Vikings and Packers hunt for upgrades. Other rumored targets are Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and Ravens RB Derrick Henry, who could become available if Lamar Jackson’s absence hurts Baltimore’s plans.

The Denver Broncos survive a 26-21 comeback win over the Carolina Panthers thanks to a pivotal challenge flag thrown by game‑management director Evan Rothstein. With 1:30 left in the third quarter and Denver down 14‑13, rookie safety Devon Key intercepts Bryce Young’s pass at the goal line, but officials initially call it incomplete. Rothstein spots the error, urges Sean Payton to challenge, and the flag is thrown just before the snap, overturning the call. The Broncos regain possession, score two unanswered touchdowns—including a Jonah Coleman run and a Bo Nix‑Pat Bryant connection—and extend their NFL‑record streak to 16 one‑score wins. Payton rewards Rothstein and Key with game balls.

The Carolina Panthers fell 21-26 to the Denver Broncos on Nov. 8, 2026, a loss marred by 13 penalties and a controversial replay‑assisted turnover. Quarterback Bryce Young praised winning without relying on officials, yet his offensive line—ranked among the league’s worst—allowed the most pressures and sacks, hampering both Young and running back Chuba Hubbard. Injuries have depleted key linemen, leaving the Panthers’ trench battles unresolved. The Broncos set an NFL record with their 16th straight one‑score victory, while the Panthers’ struggles in short‑yardage and goal‑line situations, highlighted by a failed pass on first‑and‑goal, underscore deeper roster and coaching issues. A potential boost could come from the return of lineman Brady Christensen next week, but the Panthers must improve protection and red‑zone execution to stay playoff‑relevant.

Replay shows the ball deflected into safety Devon Key’s hands for an interception, sparking a Broncos touchdown that secures the win. Payton credits game‑management director Evan Rothstein for the flag, while Panthers coach Dave Canales accepts the call. The victory pushes Denver to a 7‑2 AFC West standing before their bye week.
