NFL insider Jordan Schultz says the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers are targeting the same defensive talent as the Oct. 10 deadline approaches. Both NFC contenders have expressed interest in Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat (who wants out and carries a $17 M non‑guaranteed salary), Chargers veteran Khalil Mack (35, three sacks, final year), and Colts DT DeForest Buckner (also in his contract’s last year). Sources note the Bears have called about Mack, while the 49ers have historic ties to Buckner. With the Bears at 5‑2 and the 49ers 6‑1, a flurry of 12‑20 trades is expected before the Nov. 10 deadline.
The 2026 NFL season is barely underway, yet two of the league’s more talented quarterbacks already find themselves at the center of growing frustration.

Let's take a look at the updated 2027 NFL Draft order as we prepare for Week 8.
The Baltimore Ravens add 10-year veteran safety Rayshawn Jenkins to their practice squad, boosting a secondary thinned by Jaylinn Hawkins' knee injury. Jenkins, 32, most recently appeared in the Steelers' first six games before being released, and has a decade of experience with the Chargers, Jaguars, Seahawks, Browns and Steelers. He brings depth to both safety rotation and special teams, and could see snaps if the Ravens' young safeties struggle. A former fourth‑round pick who posted five interceptions and 84 tackles in 2020, Jenkins joins a defense under coordinator Jesse Minter.
The Los Angeles Chargers need to evaluate their trade options. Unless teams are scrambling to get Dalvin Tomlinson, they're likely better off hanging onto him.
After a 4-3 start, the Packers’ GM Brian Gutekunst faces a trade deadline crunch. The article lists four primary targets: RB Kimani Vidal from the Chargers, who offers a 5.2 YPC and could be snagged for a Day‑3 pick and a $1.085 M cap hit; All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson of the Colts, a half‑season rental for a Day‑2 pick to bolster a struggling O‑line; DT Roy Lopez from the Cardinals, a cheap fifth‑rounder to replace the injured Javon Hargrave; and LB Trevin Wallace of the Jets, a potential depth add. Each prospect is evaluated on performance metrics, injury status and cost, outlining why Green Bay may need to act before the 2026 trade deadline.
The Chicago Bears are gearing up for an aggressive push at the November 10 trade deadline, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Poles has reportedly connected with multiple defensive prospects, including edge rushers Josh Sweat, Khalil Mack and DE DeForest Buckner. While the Los Angeles Chargers say Mack isn’t for sale, a potential 0‑7 loss could change their stance. The Bears sit 5‑2, second in the NFC North and fifth seed in the NFC, and history shows GM Ryan Poles isn’t shy about in‑season deals.
The Los Angeles Chargers can't afford for Tre' Harris to shift to the sidelines again—even if the receiving corps is whole after the bye.
The NFL trade deadline is quickly approaching, and Khalil Mack has been a hot name in the rumor mill with the Los Angeles Chargers owning the worst record in the league (0-6). On Monday, NFL insider Ian Rapoport claimed that the Chicago Bears are one team potentially seeking a deal to acquire Mack. During a […]

The Los Angeles Rams must win both remaining games before the November 10 trade deadline to keep playoff hopes alive. After a 35-21 victory over the Raiders, they face a winless 0-6 Chargers and a struggling 1-4-1 Commanders, teams whose combined 3-15-1 record offers little margin for error. Sitting 3-4, the Rams trail the 4-3 Packers, Seahawks and Falcons for the final NFC spots, and a loss could trigger a fire‑sale of stars like Matthew Stafford and Myles Garrett for future draft assets. Both the Rams and Chargers treat the upcoming clash as a de facto Super Bowl of 2026.
The Chargers got one step closer to drafting Ohio State wideout Jeremiah Smith without playing a game on Sunday.
The Los Angeles Chargers will almost certainly have a top pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. Here's an early look at how their needs might shake out.
In Week 7 the Las Vegas Raiders fell to 3‑4, seeing their playoff chances dwindle as they endure a fourth straight loss. Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos bounced back with a 30‑16 victory over the Cardinals, highlighted by QB Bo Nix’s 62‑yard rushing TD and a strong defensive showing from LB Alex Singleton. The win narrows Denver’s gap with the Kansas City Chiefs, who suffered their first loss of the season, falling 20‑3 to Seattle as Patrick Mahomes posted modest numbers and was held to a single interception. The AFC West now stands with Kansas City at 5‑1, Denver 5‑2, Raiders 3‑4, and the Chargers 0‑6, setting up a pivotal Broncos‑Chiefs clash next week.
Mike McDaniel remains the Los Angeles Chargers' offensive coordinator as the team heads into Week Eight and prepares for a matchup with the Rams. Despite a 0‑6 start, the Chargers have not made a coaching change, though McDaniel must deliver noticeable offensive improvements post‑bye. The article links to analyses of the Chargers' bye‑week plans, highlights Chris O’Leary’s emergence, and notes broader NFL news such as Aaron Rodgers climbing the all‑time TD list.
Josh Allen has propelled the Buffalo Bills to a 4-1 start, tallying 15 touchdowns while also committing five turnovers in the first quarter of the 2026 season. The article examines the "double‑standard" debate: rival QBs are often criticized for mistakes, yet Allen’s dual‑threat play earns praise despite costly interceptions and fumbles, such as the two picks and a fumble in the Week 3 win over the Chargers and the game‑sealing pick in a 29‑26 loss to the Patriots. His improvisational brilliance—shown in a 37‑34 overtime comeback over the Rams with 331 yards and two TDs—makes him a nightmare for defenses, but the same aggression can jeopardize victories. The piece questions whether Allen’s superstar status shields him from harsher scrutiny and argues he must simply protect the ball more often.
Matthew Stafford eclipses Roman Gabriel to become the Los Angeles Rams’ all‑time leader in passing touchdowns, tallying 155 TD passes after a three‑TD performance in a 35‑21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct. 25, 2026. The milestone also makes Stafford the first quarterback to hold career touchdown‑pass records for two franchises, adding to his Detroit Lions record of 282 TDs. The Rams, now 3‑4, look to build momentum heading into Week 8 against the winless Chargers.
The Los Angeles Chargers have put their faith in Travis Burke over the past two weeks. He'll have a chance to justify that opportunity after the bye.
After Week 7, the Cleveland Browns stay atop the AFC North and rise in the playoff race despite a gritty win over the Tennessee Titans, keeping their 2027 first‑round draft slot at 26th overall. Meanwhile, injury‑hit Los Angeles Rams fall to the 14th spot after a 3‑4 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. The draft order entering Week 8 shows the Rams at No. 14 and the Browns at No. 26, with the Chargers winless and the Vikings unbeaten.
Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers are in a tough spot this 2026 NFL season. They hit their Week 7 bye on Sunday, sitting at 0-6 after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6. Justin Herbert’s Team Gets Roasted Online Things reached a breaking point on Sunday. Because the Miami Dolphins (1-5) […]

The Rams beat the Raiders 27-20, improving to 7‑3 but still needing about ten wins for a NFC wildcard. Despite missing key defenders like Myles Garrett and Poona Ford (out for the year), the defense limited Vegas to 42 rushing yards. Offensively, Matthew Stafford was efficient and the ground game thrived thanks to Blake Corum and Kyren Williams, while receiver depth remained a concern without Davante Adams or tight end Terrance Ferguson. Backup linebacker Shaun Dolac impressed, and reserve lineman Tyler Davis stepped up amid injuries. The next three matchups against the Chargers, Commanders and Cardinals are crucial for keeping playoff hopes alive.
Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones energizes the Week 7 Sunday Night Football showdown against the Seattle Seahawks with a viral player intro that declares his alma mater as "Sack Nation University." The undefeated Chiefs (5-0) host a 3-3 Seahawks at Lumen Field after a 22-6 win over the Chargers. Jones, a Mississippi State alum, has 13 tackles, 0.5 sacks, two passes defended and a fumble recovery in five games and hopes to add his next sack tonight. He also uses his platform to run the Sack Nation Foundation for underserved youth.
The Los Angeles Rams snap a slump with a 35-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, boosting them to 3-4 and back into the NFC West chase. Matthew Stafford throws three TD passes, and Kyren Williams adds a rushing score, giving the Rams a 28-6 halftime lead. Despite a costly fake‑punt conversion, a fumble, a facemask penalty and an interception that kept the game closer than expected, the defense holds firm and Blake Corum seals the victory with a late rushing TD. The win comes as the 49ers slip to 6‑1, keeping L.A.'s playoff hopes alive ahead of a Week 8 showdown with the Chargers.
The Kansas City Chiefs visit Seattle on Sunday, Oct. 25, for a Week 7 Sunday Night Football showdown at 8:20 PM ET on NBC. Kansas City, 5‑0 after a 22‑6 win over the Chargers, leans on Patrick Mahomes (1,309 yards, nine TDs) and league‑leading rusher Kenneth Walker III (665 yards, six TDs) against his former team. The Seahawks sit at 3‑3 after a 17‑14 OT loss to Denver, with Sam Darnold and top receiver Jaxon Smith‑Njigba (717 yards, seven TDs) trying to snap the Chiefs’ streak.
